I fail to see a contradiction. Frank described one very useful method of testing a beta product derived from an existing FBSD port. I use tinderbox myself, but that is irrelevant. If the OP had asked that question on the FBSD forum, he might well have received a satisfactory response also. The OP, whom obviously is not fully aware of the build intricacies on a FBSD system -- not that I claim to be either -- wanted Timo to invest his time in building a custom product for him to test. Now that I consider absurd. -- Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heisenberg may have been here.
