That is why you boot to single user mode.=20 =46reeBSD does not tolerate HDs with bad sectors. You would have to really mess up your install for a reinstall to help. I=20 usually joke that a reinstall only helps on Windows :). I always choose=20 the typical install because that has been tested the most. You can=20 always tweak a working system but you can have problems when you pick=20 and choose at the first install. > > > With a release, any panic is important.

I would still bet on hardware errors but anytime you make a bet you can=20 be wrong. When you find what was causing the problem, you can say=20 "=A1Ahh!" :). > > I'm not in hurry, because the old notebook is still alive... I seriously belive in having a back up until everything works. When you=20 have a backup and something dies, you still have the back up. One of=20 anything can translate in to nothing works when you have trouble. I=20 have 3 email addresses and if almost nothing works I have hotmail on 5=20 computers. I can only deal with the interface for 5 minutes or so until=20 I mess up something. > > Thanks for your hints so far. =A1Qu=E9 tengas buen Fin del A=F1o! De nada :). It is a day to listen to CDs de m=FAsica latina that I have=20 worn out playing them in my car. Right now La 5a estaci=F3n is playing.=20 After them, I will play Elefante.
