This can be difficult to do. It will take someone with enough cycles to grok the new hardware support, as well as monitoring lists for reports of trouble, etc. : Warner is the gatekeeper for UPDATING, and it seems to work rather well. Yes. Sometimes less well than other times. when I have about 2 hours a week to spend on it or more, it works a lot better than when I'm completely swamped... I think it is working because I wanted to stop the whining in -current about how hard it was to keep up with current. UPDATING has gone from a very terse warning bulletin to a less terse, fairly useful document as the rough spots in the road get written up well by others and I pick from the N different copies I get. Still, it is somewhat quirky. I'd Kinda like to see it somehow on the web pages updated in near real time (well, daily is close enough :-) : I'd take on the responsibility. Good luck!
