That seems like an awfull lot of upgrading for one patch (upgrading to = RELENG_4). My system is extremely stable and I'd hate to rock the boat = for this tiny patch. Seems like there is a better chance of something = `breaking' during a full system upgrade rather then applying the patch = and doing the buildworld. I've only got about two years of FreeBSD = experience so I may be missing something. I certainly welcome input = from more experienced admins. - ------------------------------------------- Randomly Generated Quote: Too much of a good thing is *wonderful*.
