Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-www@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Not a disconnect so much as simple aging of the announcement, sort of like finding an old 19th-century Sears and Robuck catalog coupon for $1 off on a buggy-whip or something. :) In this case, Walnut Creek cannot replace the 2.1.6 disk with 2.1.7 as 2.1.7 has long since been discontinued and hsa left the inventory. However, if you are having some specific dificulties with 2.1.6 which you wanted 2.1.7 as a fix for, then Walnut Creek's support policy would also kick in at that point and entitle you to a free upgrade to whatever the currently shipping version is. Should this be the case, simply call Walnut Creek CDROM back, state your problem with 2.1.6 and ask for a *replacement* CD. That should do the trick.
