It will probably fail early. When you see a failure, identify it. If we have a fix, restart the build and watch it fail or complete. It might be a time-consuming task... If my backlog has been reduced, I'll probably try it under vmware myself. -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
