Well, a lot of bug fixes have been made, and not many new features have been added (deliberately), so by the laws of arithmetic it certainly should have less bugs... The whole idea behind 2.1.5 is to allow users to get fixes for existing bugs without simultaneously getting lots of new ones :-) >Is this possible?

A list of open bug reports is posted to the bugs mailing list every week. I think you can also look at it on www.freebsd.org somewhere. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
