No-one forces you to upgrade you systems. Partial upgrades are something that are nice when they work, but understood when they don't. We don't accept bug reports (typically) when a person hasn't upgraded their world, kernel, and modules. I don't understand why we're accepting preemptive bitching. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect Computer Horizons Corp - CVM e-mail: billf@chc-chimes.com / billf@FreeBSD.org Office: 800-252-2421 x128 / Cell: 248-761-7272 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
