I may try reinstalling Slacwkware tonight, but am concerned lest this will require YET ANOTHER reinstall of FreeBSD! ... i'm weary of reinstalling and so is the laptop ... :) g +----------------+ http://www.burningclown.com "Everyone's Portal to Nothing At All" +----------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
