I see first error was a /kernel msg complaining about netscape-linux write error, over 400,000 of repetes, then everything got worse, is there a way to span the system over 2 ide disks, I have a 3gig drive and a 25 gig drive. I think my main problem was running netscape as root. 8-( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
