If we kept silent, people would try to upgrade systems that rely on non-supported hardware just because it was previously supported. It was wishful reading on your part. -- Daniel C.

Huh? What part of "NOT YET supported" don't you understand?

Why?! "... or if they will be completed" That sounds pretty bleak to me. -- - bill fumerola - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
