I have a newer system, celeron 1.2g processor, MSI mother board to accompany it and a tdk velocd CD writer--ide of course. I like using xcdroast for writing cd's so... To use freebsd with the above system it looks like I will have to get another cd burner, scsi to integrate with freebsd. I did a little looking around and in my city of 1.5m there are none to be found. Seems everything is going to USB. I'm wondering if it's worth it to get a scsi off the net or just wait and eventually freebsd will work with my existing equipment? I don't know what the current thinking is on this, I'm to new to the enviornment to tell. Seems like a good topic for discussion, what are your ideas on this? thanks dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
