    Greetings..
     
     I just moved from 5.2.1 to current and had
    a few comments. Upgrading from 5.2.1 which first
    required me to upgrade config, which required
    me to upgrade flex. None of these are documented
    in UPGRADING

     Now that I'm running current is there anything
    special I have to change in make.conf? Should
    I still have to define "WITH_THREADS" and
    "WITH_LIBMAP" or do the ports autorecognize
    the kse --> pthreads change? I hope I'm not
    making a fool of myself with the wording, I
    know what threads are but not how they are
    implimented in FBSD. When I compile things
    I always see "THREAD_SAFE" flag added to the
    building of lots of ports.. For example when
    I compile apache I see a freebsd thread hack
    flag added, is this still necissary?

    I've also had a few problems with a mammoth
    drive my box. When ever I tried to restore
    a large tar to disk the machine would crash
    hard. This was when I was running 5.2.1, I
    haven't tried current yet.

    Now that I have current running I've noticed
    that the OS is using much more memory, it seemed
    like there was always 1700Mb free now its
    always around 700Mb. I'm guessing here but
    the machine seems to be caching more aggresivly,
    which I think is good, right?

       Thank you for a great OS,
       Eric

    P.S. Where can I find some good howto's on
          MAC? Will it be ready for primetime
          When 5.3 comes out?
