Since we don't have a utf-8 console and single-charset xterms work fine for most people, there's not much need for one. -current is currently running a 5.2-20020615 snapshot, and will most likely get 5.3 very soon (5.3 is in prerelease stage right now). -stable will probably get upgraded to 5.3 if it can be done without impacting the rest of the system. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
