Now, when I try to install FreeBSD 4.6 on the new computer, it stalls permanently at the initial blue screen that is labeled "probing for devices". Is my motherboard not compatible with FreeBSD? Now I am running linux, which installed without a hitch. Am I stuck running Linux? I REALLY miss FreeBSD. I look forward to any suggestions, Korey Pelton _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
