I'm sorry, I misread your question in an alcoholic haze, apologies: I thought you were asking why they are available prior to release. Instead your question is a good one, its catch 22 whether you want your machine to be vulnerable to some circulating 0-day or you want to installed a hacked-around version that may have broken something else.... all without knowing the reason for the fixes. Its probably better to install the beta patches, since when I see advisories-on-advisories fly by on the vuln lists they are usually reporting incomplete fixes rather than breakages. Apologies again for my uncalled for 'crankiness'. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/tT22jKeDCxMJCTIRAlafAKCTfPlZipUTJJawKW0RxMZNqcrEeACffM4n ZmaAlSB/Ho0fg5KdvYtJ0y8= =Z7+D -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
