Instead of trying to download it off the net, go to www.cdrom.com (Walnut Creek) and order the CD set and the book. I dont remember it being more than $50.00. The CD set has so much stuff you'll dig it, and the book is VERY needed if you are new to both UNIX and freebsd. Good luck, Mike ---------------------------------------------- Michael P.
