I had it working as of yesterday, but I was just running 3.0-RELEASE as well. The hard drive died, though. :/ My motherboard was just a cheapo Amptron dual-PII with the LX chipset , but it was really fast with a couple of 333's. I was quite pleased with the performance.... Now all I need is a hard drive that I can use with it... (the one I borrowed, IIRC was already dying.. just didn't die _hard_ until yesterday). In any case, though, things seemed completely solid right up until the HD died. -Dan "Come give anyone of us, for instance, a little more independence, untie our hands, widen the spheres of our activity, relax the controls and we -- yes, I assure you -- we would immediately beg to be under control again." -Dostoevsky "Notes from Underground" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
