Note an earlier commit had to add explicit rm -f's to work around this. Also, dealing with custom releases at work where I've had to do post-release fixups it causes extra headaches. > Can NO_FLOPPIES go away if Alpha release is fixed (I have some > ideas)? I'd like to leave it. I use it at work where I build a mfsroot that won't fit on a floppy b/c I add dialog to it to use smarter sysinstall scripts for an install that only works off of CD. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
