Is there a handbook or wiki entry which would point one to the procedure for "properly" moving from 2.4.2 to 2.6.16 emulation under -current? I believe I saw some posts that 2.6.x would not be default for 7.0-RELEASE for whatever technical reason..... Can anybody report success on -current with 2.6.16 emulation with the flash9 plugin? thx. -Jr -- John & Jennifer Reynolds johnjen at reynoldsnet.org www.reynoldsnet.org Structural/Physical Design - some group - Intel jreynold at sedona.ch.intel.com Running FreeBSD since 2.1.5-RELEASE.
