Do you know that for _fact_ or are yo reguritating what "everyone else" says.

I believe I grabbed a copy of 2.2.8-(stable?) and 3.0-(stable?) as of last summer sometime. It has been awhile.

If I can muster up enough energy to try it again, I will. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
