If you can't wait for 2.2, then you should sup -current > and build a new OS in single user mode by saying 'make world'. I don't really recommend sigle-user for `make world'. Did it in multi-user, and it doesn't seem to be a real problem. (Some minor oddities when it comes to programs that use libkvm, like ps or netstat, but that's tolerable if you know about it.) Hold your breath for a moment however, Jordan was thinking about preparing a 2.2-SNAP release eventually. (The _first_ 2.2 snap at all!) The time seems to be a good one for this, -current appears to be in a good shape these days. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
