Not directly. Some of the bug fixes and enhancements of 4.4Lite2 have been folded into the code, other things have been solved differently in FreeBSD before 4.4Lite2 has been released. Note that Lite2 is basically a bugfix upgrade on 4.4BSD-Lite, so don't expect wonders. (And actually, many of the bug fixes are probably based on feedback from the NetBSD and FreeBSD development.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
