Is anybody out there with access to the patches which fix all known bugs in
1.1-BETA? If YES can you please post the patches or make them available via
FTP. If all else fails could you please mail me the patches.
USL effectively forces the {Free,Net}BSD teams to rewrite big sections of
the code and/or wait for BSD4.4 lite. I expect a long period of instability
as a result. For those like me who actually do productive work with *BSD
this is not acceptable. I'm currently running NetBSD-0.9-release and am
reasonably happy with it. Unless I get hold of the patches which fix the
bugs in Net-2 based FreeBSD-1.1-BETA I won't upgrade for a long long time.
