Yep. I agree with Kris, as this issue was discussed in the -current list somewhere. And also, I have been running CURRENT for a while now (around 7/8 months), and it has been going pretty smoothly in the tasks I do. I use mpg123, and xamp for a while with CURRENT and although there are lock issues, but they will be solved by either me, or someone else who can do it. (as I am running an SMP test CURRENT system) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
