I have FreeBSD at home, how difficult would it be for me to roll my own disk images from the codebase I have sans IPv6? Would I have to roll an entire release aswell, or could I use whatever the latest SNAP is on releng4.freebsd.org? -- Cheers, Sean Sean-Paul Rees (sean@seanrees.com) Web: http://www.seanrees.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
