In the topic it refers to seeking the Handbook, /usr/ports/updating & /usr/src/updating. Many users after reading such topics generally find that it's not much to ask that they do a few things on ones own. I have been in that channel for over a year, and while it's certainly try that does and can happen - it's generally warranted. Just my point of view. And as I mentioned, we ARE working to correct the image that is mentioned on the FBSD site. So please - don't presumably shut it down when you may not have been there in some time. -- Best regards, Chris When the government bureau's remedies do not match your problem, you modify the problem, not the remedy.
