I am going to upgrade to 6.x and see if that helps - it may not but I have to upgrade one day anyway. It will be interesting to see if the problem follows me.
I would think that over first. Unless the problem you have is noted as fixed in a later version, an upgrade for upgrade's sake is not the right course of action.
If you upgrade and the problem persists, you won't know what the problem was. So far I haven't heard anyone who thinks it is a problem with the distribution.
If you upgrade and the problem goes away, you still don't know what the problem was. If the problem returns a week, a month, a year down the road you are right back where you are now.
Just my two cents worth. DAve -- Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos for other non-international holidays, but nothing for Veterans? Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions_(_at_)_freebsd_(_dot_)_org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe_(_at_)_freebsd_(_dot_)_org"
