I stuck a 500 meg HD and four 1 meg SIMMS in it (for a total of _SIX_ meg -- wow!!) and installed FreeBSD by FTP, just for the hell of it. I never did get it to successfully Make World, and Kernels took 12+ hours. Useful as a terminal, though, and I've used it to test things that I didn't want screwing up my main box when I inevitably did it wrong the first time <;-) -- Regards, Denny Reiter denny@kewanee.net ------------------ FreeBSD: www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
