I think it was in there. But maybe I'm mixing this with Lehey's excellent but
somewhat dated Complete FreeBSD. Anyway, I've been using softupdates
since they became avalaible and never had a single problem with them.

Can't exactly say the same about ata(4) though but Soren was always
very helpful when problems arised.


Best regards,
 Gabriel
