I won't know for sure until I get a few other things built (I'm building 4.1-release from scratch using the new ISO image). If this does work OK, I think it will be a common enough issue that the port itself should check for this and give some helpful pointers/advice/whatever. I'll try to write up something useful to add to the port for this, hopefully this coming weekend. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
