Thanks for getting back to me on this. I guess I was just curious if the 0.5.9 update would fix some of the various bugs our users have been reporting, and add fuse-fs support for NTFS mounting. Right now it seems to work fairly well, but in some weird cases crashes the system or ignores FAT32 partitions when it shouldn't. I will check with our team though, and if anybody wants to help port over the cpufreq stuff, I'll let you know! -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software http://www.pcbsd.com
