You should upgrade to a 5.4 prerelease snapshot (or just wait for 5.4-RELEASE). 5.4 will be released sometime in April. If you need something now, CVSup to RELENG_5 and build your system (after this weekend). > And is there a roadmap to get a nice clean method for running i386 > binaries ? what about i386 binaries from 4.x ? There will a clean way to run i386 4.x binaries be for 5.4-RELEASE. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
