My first install via network. #uname -a =46reeBSD wall.my.domain 4.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jul 27 = 04:44:16 GMT 2000 root@usw4.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 I wasn't sure how the install would cope with sudden loss of connection and a hard reset! But it did well, and it runs. I'm amazed how quickly it boots, compared to 3.1. Must be the ad driver I guess. Thanks again, John.
