Thats fine but the problem is, that -current will stay current until 
fall 2002. I run vmware on my workstation. I use it to run software I need
for Work. 

I cannot install -current on this Machine because it has to run every day 
and I donīt have the time to fix the problems coming with -current. 

As far as I can see there ist still no fix in RELENG_4 for the networking
problem of vmware. The Fix is there and working for me, but I have to 
fix it every time I update my system. 

Another problem is that vmware3 is out. Sooner or later vmware will stop 
to sell Version 2 licences and the free update option will go away to.

Having -current delayed until Fall 2002 the is a need for vmware3 to 
run on -stable until FreeBSD 5.0 is released. 

So long
