I'm planning to upgrade a 4.7 box to 4.8. Yes. As I understand it, however, you can still not build some of them, which would be useful if you're not using that service. For example: many people won't be using BIND on their box. Some people use bash, or korn shells and therefore csh/tcsh are redundant. Hope that helps, -lewiz. --=20 "There are two ways of disliking poetry; one way is to dislike it, the other is to read Pope." -- Oscar Wilde ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jab:lewiz@jabber.org | url:http://lewiz.net |- --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/EUP/Itq0KFQv7T8RAjwPAJ9d7c1hN5EelSZo6HvSfbGoezFT1wCeN7jo VYqZSZ9n0Wi9rx6H52oCSfU= =Gulu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --huq684BweRXVnRxX--
