Is a new boot image going to be generated that reflects the new path structure, or how is this going to be done exactly? Furthurmore, since many of the Makefiles for various ports call the old address, will all the ports have to be fixed too? I didn't even know the archive was being moved, was there an announcement that I missed,,, or am I just totally confused here? :) Todd
