I'm ready to try it as a workstation. I'm thinking the easiest way to give it a go for a while without disrupting my current workstation setup (W98 & NT) is to install it on a Jaz (1GB) disk. The system I want to to install on has an Adaptec 2940UW I can run the Jaz drive off and set the system to boot from it. Will this work? Will FreeBSD install on removeable media? Are there any non-obvious gotcha's that I should be aware of? Thanks in advance. -- ========================================================================= Jim Whitelaw tel: +1.780.975.1534 jim-at-pdsys-dot-com fax: +1.780.484.9239 Pathways Data Systems Inc. http://www.pdsys.com/ ========================================================================= "It is best to assume that the network is filled with malevolent entities that will send packets designed to have the worst possible effect." - F.Baker, RFC1812 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
