Essentially no, you need INET. FreeBSD is a network operating system at it's core, and to my knowledge won't operate properly w/o it. Here is a snippet from the handbook: (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook61.html) options INET Networking support. Leave it in even if you do not plan to be connected to a network. Most programs require at least loopback networking (i.e. making network connections within your PC) so this is essentially mandatory. Hope this helps. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Crist J.
