It's happily running 4.7 stable. I wanted to put an athlon XP chip and 1 gig more memory. The first thing I did was update the bios and then installed the chip and memory. Then when starting it got core dumps all over (sendmail getty, ect.). Then I removed the memory and still got the dumps. After I replaced the chip (XP1700) with the 1.2 and all the dumps stopped. When upgrading to a chip like that (athlon to XP) do I need to do something different to BSD so it will not flake out. -- Jay Desjardins Voice: 617-745-3802 Desktop and Phone support Help desk: 617-745-3727 Eastern Nazarene College E-mail: Desjardj@enc.edu 23 E.
