I think I maybe need some help there. Never done that = before :-) Because you cannot. It would surely help if you could provide the = relevant part of the change as patch to re@ and you can find two samples of ENs = linked from the box in the right lower corner of the front page of = www.freebsd.org and providing parts of the text (ignore revisions etc for now) would = certainly help as well. /bz --=20 Bjoern A.
