Absolutely. I can see how that could be misread. Its 4.x where x >= 8 and then 5.3 or later. Note that there is some guess work there. It should have a big "I THINK" label there somewhere as its only been tested on 4.11 and 6.1. We know that previous versions worked as early as 4.8 and 5.3 though, and there shouldn't have been any changes to break that. This is (probably) the last patchset on the 1.5.0 SCSL code. Future patchsets will likely be against 1.5.0_10 JRL and 1.6.0 JRL. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
