What I actually meant to say was that I was going to try it the other way (powering off) as well, to make sure there's no difference. I'll try to be more clear in the future, but sometimes English feels really difficult to elucidate the means of oneself. -- Vallo Kallaste To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
