My ThinkPad T41 is now in the shop getting a new system board (I hope). When it returns, I was considering running -CURRENT on it rather than 5.2.1-RELEASE. Your experience above has encouraged me to try it. I'll cvsup to the above date and let you know how it goes.... when I get it back. Anyone else running -CURRENT on a laptop have any recommendations/warnings/comments? On a side note Bruce: Do you buildworld on your laptop or another box? -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/
