Craig,
I don't mean to imply the developers aren't doing their damnedest to
make things
work but if they can't verify our bug reports they won't do a thing
about it and
rightly so... How would they know if it was ever fixed if they can't
see the problem
:).
I don't want to be an ass about it but I felt I had to explain the
situation further.
I mean if everyone were experiencing my situation this wouldn't be an
issue. So what
I would like is either of
a) someone to commit the patch or find a better fix.
or
b) tell me what's wrong with my process or help me debug my process
of building FBSD-CURRENT.
Everything else seems to work fine! :)
