I made this strange PatchSet against RELENG_6. ;) It can be found at http://generic.0xfce3.net/freebsd/20050914-kgi4bsd.patch . It applied cleanly on a 6-BETA3, I think. If it isn't working on a recent RELENG_6_0 or RELENG_6 I have a working tarball from which I could create an update for the patch. best regards, Gordon -- Gordon Bergling <GBergling at 0xfce3.net> http://www.0xFCE3.net/ PGP Fingerprint: 7732 9BB1 5013 AE8B E42C 28E0 93B9 D32B C76F 02A0 RIPE-HDL: MDTP-RIPE "Minimal Electronic Music"
