( i don't like to install now 2.0 and after a week an upgrade to 2.1 - then i'll better wait that week) It's probably worth waiting for if you don't have any overriding reason to run 2.0, in as much as we always try to release progressively better "products" and certainly hope that 2.1 will be a big improvement over 2.0, but it's up to you. We don't expect to release 2.1 until late January sometime, if not sometime in February, due to the Christmas and New Years hols which will be eating a good 2-week chunk out of everyone's schedules. I personally don't even know which country I'll be in at the time! :-) 2. i also read the question in the last weeks but nobody answered - here is it again: is anybody working on an EIDE support for FreeBSD ? Not that I know of. Everyone I know of is using their EIDE machines in standard IDE mode, and it doesn't seem to bother them enough to do anything about it (so far). 3. thanks in advance You're welcome.
