I feel a -RELEASE should be rock solid. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this way, and should start thinking of FreeBSD like I do Windows 95 or NT, that a minor upgrade is going to be ridden with bugs. Let others who still care enough be more specific. I'm too disappointed right now, and even starting to consider Linux, now that I know FreeBSD isn't the rock-solid system they claim it is. This was the most carelessly released version of an OS I've ever seen in my life. As bad as the worst I've ever seen from Microsoft (something like Windows 3.0 was). >I'm not sure how this can happen. I just checked, the xfmail binary >requires xforms.0, and the xforms package includes libxforms.so.0.88. The xfmail package wasn't even listed in the package list of the 2.2.7 version of sysinstall. They didn't even get the package INDEX file right. -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
