I've noticed 4.0 oes something similar, but i'm not sure which entry it is. It lookslike they are all needed. Is there any way to remove this probe and shorten the boot time? I'm running on a laptop, so all i have is one HD and a CDROM. jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org To Microsoft: "Your tyranny I was part of, is now cracking on every side.
