I used a snap of the 24th together with Warner's pcic-diff.8 and it just worked. I don't know about the windows stuff. When I borrow the machine, I take the windows disk out and put my FreeBSD disk in. :-) John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@icomtek.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
