I did :-)))

I like the nuts and bolts feel of it.  I have only a 2Gb drive for it, so I 
must be selective about ports.  I want X and a window manager but 
don't really want a desktop for now.

I've just today had a high speed cable modem installed: 512Kbps 
and permanently connected to my ISP.

I want in time to go over as much as I can to FreeBSD.

My work requires me, as do the habits of the rest of the world, to 
use MShorrors for a lot of the time, but I want to use Unix when I 
can.

Do I take it from your question that you did not get it running?

Stuart.
