I think I have seen this in the FreeBSD FAQ. One needs to do the same - recompile the kernel. On another topic: Have any of you had any problems running FreeBSD on a COMPAQ machine (P133)? I discovered yesterday that FreeBSD 2.1. would not read the memory size properly and would use only 16MB on a COMPAQ machine with 72MB. Recompiling the kernel with the memory size took care of the problem, but I was wondering if it is just me or a typical problem with COMPAQ. Jivko Regards, Jivko Koltchev
