Effective about an hour ago, what I'm considering the final draft is at the above URL. I'll be asking my ISP to set up a counter for it shortly. Anyone want to proofread it for me? > Good start, now let's get some patches up there. :) Five are up now. As soon as I get feedback from a guinea pig^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htester who was foolish^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hkind enough to volunteer his systems to test my patches, another will be put up (it's a commented link right now). Consider this the announcement of a new FreeBSD support site. So, now it's my turn to throw down the gauntlet: Who among you wants to risk your 4.2 or 4.3 system to an unknown hacker's patches? :-) > Michael Lucas Wish me luck!
