Yes, only thing that you might need to fix font by manual. > There isn't yet an UPDATING entry. There is no UPDATING entry of linux_base(-8), because linux_base is still default. netchild has a patch to replace linux_base to linux_base-8 as default and some of us are testing his patch. His patch doesn't only fix, but also fix some real bugs. Cheers, Mezz -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
