its quite this. the stripe just vanishes when I try to see it in any
stable. and if I create in stable, a reboot makes it go way :(

I know it is. 8-CURRENT is great really (I use it in other places). my
main concern is that this is a server with mail/dns/dhcp/apache/some other
services I forgot and changing to 8-BETA may need to recompile all things,
and need time I don't have right now ...

can I just update and use all software compiled for 7.1-PRERELEASE ?
