Yes. Too few people test BETAs and GAMMAs, so only the bugs that have been detected by these few testers are fixed in a release... Then, once a release is done, people start testing it -- and sometimes discover annoying bugs. 2.2.1R is a full replacement for 2.2R. Most of the documentation will still refer to it as 2.2R. Sure, there's always one more bug... this time it's the ``You can't login as root without a password.'' one. I've been posting the fix already here. -- 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. ;-)
