It's a perfectly reasonable question, but one which has been answered numerous times and just wastes everyone's time rehashing it unless there is some exciting new development not yet in the archives. We have mailing-list archives for a reason, and people are expected to consult them if there's any nonzero chance the question might have come up before (i.e. almost always). New users who actually read the information about the mailing lists before they subscribe to one will see the following: Archives are kept for all of the mailing lists and can be searched using the FreeBSD World Wide Web server. The keyword searchable archive offers an excellent way of finding answers to frequently asked questions and should be consulted before posting a question. Perhaps we need to make this more prominent.
