I have various machines (some on 6, but some) stuck on 4: - 5 doesnt install on some laptops, - There's an fdisk systctl pain with newer fdisk affecting the console-less scanner http://www.berklix.com/scanjet/ - gnokii (nokia coms port) fails on 6, works on 4 (I've largely dropped 5) - one of my public servers on 4 (that will change) - I've even got a genuine 386 in tiny chassis runs 4.11 - & suspicion about lower performance if upgrading to 5 or 6. Probably there's lots of boxes & users out there, who/ which still use 4. They probably just don't correspond with FreeBSD policy makers, I'd suggest leave 4 CTMs in place for a while, Thanks Stephen. -- Julian Stacey.
