And, I know it looks like a daunting task at this stage, but it really isn't. Important part is backing up the original kernel should something go awry. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I was kinda flamed for my post to the original thread, for my attitude, but....I can guarantee that 98% of all successful installations of FreeBSD were preceded by a measure of study and research. FreeBSD, by nature, is NOT an off-the-shelf OS, nor was it ever intended to be. Personally, I hope FreeBSD never hits the mainstream. Is it just me, or does RedHat look more and more like Microsoft and Windows everyday ? .........get my drift ?
