It contains important information like the fact you have to defragment your disk before you use it. -- Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Godfrey godfreja@acm.cs.uwec.edu FreeBSD - The power to serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
