There is, perhaps, even a simpler solution: 1) Install FreeBSD 2) Configure the network correctly 3) Use the 'smbfs' facility to create a shared directory between Windows and FreeBSD. That way you don't have to fiddle with samba. Just my .000002 cents/euros/drachmas/sheckels/pounds/yuan/yen worth ;) As Mike points out, you do *not* need X or any GUI tools to do any of this. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
