My own safety? I can down the system in a million ways, yet can't do what I actually want? A major reason I got fed up with Windows (other than it not working right) was it's insistance of knowing what was best for me. I hope FreeBSD doesn't fall down the same path. Or at least have a kernel option FOOT_SHOOTING, or something, that will disable all the helpful code protection people from themselves. -- David Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The future just ain't what it used to be" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
