(Is there a FreeBSD live CD I could use?) Hi there, I'm not sure about the 1100, but the 4500 run Linux inside ( 4 drives though). definitely nothing fancy inside ( i actually reused one of them for a mail server using gentoo, as fbsd would not like the IDE controllers ).. I would just give the HD a try in some other box... if you want a fbsd live cd, try freesbie.org good luck _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Always do right.
