This could be tricky :) It's the only machine running FreeBSD until my new one arrives in the fall semester . . . this one had to be switched after I landed it in horrible inconsistent states without enough disk space to compile. What is the minimal install size? I could nuke the linux partition and put it there. Hmm, and it's time to find the modem; the only one I have around offhand is a 2400 :) thanks hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
