Now FreeBSD take 10 minutes to resinstall ;-) I think its ok to broke and fix things, but only if you have a computer who have no important data and a lot of time. But I dont think its a good idea to go to current. What it will give you more? You dont know a lot of thing about un*x and you can learn a lot without current and its bug. FreeBSD-current is a devellopment version. Anyway, upgrade to current if you want, dont start a boring discution on it ;-) Malartre PS: I think Sue only want you read doc and man page *before* broke things and ask question. -- -------------------------------------- malartre@aei.ca ICQ #4224434 www.aei.ca/~malartre/ FreeBSD-2.2.6 -------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
