C. S. Lewis btw, i put that 486 in the computer room at wcf. it has two working linux compatible 10baseT ethernet cards. one is an isa 3c509 and the other is a vesa pcnet32. i had to use the 3c5x9setup program jensen gave me to get them to play nice together. feel free to overwrite everything on the hard drive, etc. if you upgrade, i might want it back at a later time, but maybe not. try not to destroy it. i have $5 invested in the hard drive in it. :) .. btw, did you see that 2130 tutor post on git.ads? that was my first 2335 partner. he did not know C. at all. -- Peter Dillinger | "She died because she was protecting a woman's legal peterd@cc.gatech.edu | right to choose." - Claire http://www.peterd.org | "No, she died because [the defendant] put a bullet | through her head." - Jack To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
