Re: 5.2-RELEASE TODO

 So are you saying it Will work in single user mode perhaps? (drives in use)
 
 or are you saying gee we have this nice new version that if you need to modify
any disk slice you did after an install your screwed into going back to caveman
tools (which I admit I have NO IDEA how to use and I bet many others don't as
well.) 

 I have been using FreeBSD since 1997 and have never HAD to use anything else.


 Way to win over those Linux users.
