I do have a few questions that I need answers to before I do the final cutover: * I believe that I can use packages from 1.x if I install the compat1xdist. Is this true? * How about X packages that were compiled for Xfree 2.1? * Does the xview32 package work with X11R6? (I had problems with some of the supplied tools [shelltool, ftptool, etc] when I installed this on 1.1.5.1 running xview32.) If the binary package won't work, is there a working port? * When compiling source packages I now often get [Conflicting types for 'sys_errlist'] errors. These same source packages worked great under 1.1.5.1. What's changed, and how can I work around it? * The pppd binary does not get installed for some reason. I was able to compile it and get it working, however. Other than these few problems, everything's working great. Kudos to the FreeBSD team for a job well done. -- bmk@dtr.com | WWW: http://www.teleport.com/~bmk/ Portland, OR | http://www.teleport.com/~bmk/patriot.html
