--=======AVGMAIL-4327B00A0A7F======= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm still almost at newbie status so please forgive naive questions but if the FreeBSD development team has written some SIS drivers to support the 965 chipset shouldn't it be possible to re-compile for earlier (ie stable) versions instead of 6.0 beta? Do these kind of patches not get made available through cvsup? If not, are they still not made available for download so that we can compile into our earlier kernels? Presumably it wouldn't be too difficult to inject some small changes and new source codes into an an older ISO package and re-burn to a new cd..using the Windows box. Again, I am new to this so please don't flame me if I am missing some fundamentals here and overlooking some critical boogeymen. Graham/ -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.
