Ohh... let me see, I sell system for a living, 100's a year, my clients like them to come preloaded with the latest bits that I have certified for production use, they install the box and it runs, infact it runs great for a year or so, then they call me because they want to change some things, well, I have to figure out what they have before I go makeing recomendations. No, noone said just because you LOAD a custom built X.Y-STABLE that you have to track it. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc. Reliable computers for FreeBSD
