I have NetBSD installed, and as much as I like it, I'd like little things like suspend/resume to work and that seems to be a done deal on FreeBSD. Trying it on NetBSD is a great way to see if fsck still works, since it always prompts a crash. I have a 4.5-STABLE and 4.6-PRERELEASE machine here, so I am somewhat familiar with FreeBSD. It may seem a silly thing to be bothered by but it *is* one of the benefits of a laptop. And yes, I know all about the crummy BIOS problem the A20s had with 4.2: I have updated the BIOS and all is well. -- Paul Beard 8040 27th Ave NE Seattle WA 98115 206 529 8400 It was a book to kill time for those who liked it better dead.
