Given that I'm still a naive user after years of use, I installed 3.0 on a machine to play with. Nothing special, and it worked as advertised until I installed X and lots of packages... Strange, that sure doesn't look like fvwm... It turns out (after searching through -current archives) that whoever assembled the ports tree for 3.0 built it with Kerberos installed, and that there's a silly little library that damn near every X program needs now that isn't normally installed. Yes, I built it, and yes, I'm okay now, but I think that's a gotcha that should be avoided in the future. I know you -core guys are working your ASCII's off just getting this out the door, and I REALLY APPRECIATE all that the FreeBSD Project (and WCCDROM) are doing. Please take this as just a gentle hint, not a screaming fit, because I have read all the previous warnings about being ready to accept such gotchas before running -CURRENT. TNX! Now back to your regularly-scheduled programming.... D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
