As long as 4.x systems work the way they have and don't require changes that can't be handled automatically I'm happy. 5.x can be quite different as far as I'm concerned.. so.. "good job so far, and it looks like you have a good plan." being able to get tehm 'used to' the new system by having it in 4.8 as an option will be enormously useful too but I don't think we need the old system to be stil available in 5.x as long as /usr/local/etc/rc.d can still be used for 3rd party apps that can't easily be changed.. julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
