[SDBUG] FreeBSD-6-RELENG ????

[Michael J McCafferty]

Vye,
  Thanks... I think I am getting closer to understanding. So, are we saying he
just wants 6.1 Release ? Gosh, that's like so much easier ! Somehow, I 
think he
was asking for something else though.
  ... or was he basically asking me to install 6.1 Release and update the
sources and buildworld ?

Thanks,
Mike
