However, kernel stability then became an issue for me. Looking at snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, releases stopped being built on June 21, with the exception of July 7 and 8. I've been given some useful suggestions. I shall now go and do some more builds, then summarise the size changes to the list. It will take a while - my -current build box is a PII-300 laptop. > -- > > John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ > "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ > Regards, Chris Knight Systems Administrator AIMS Independent Computer Professionals Tel: +61 3 6334 6664 Fax: +61 3 6331 7032 Mob: +61 419 528 795 Web: http://www.aims.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
