Holy cow! This is about the only thing that you can't fix after installation, and you want to get it right. The LAST THING you'd want to be doing is taking advice from a newbie, or from this list, or anyone met on this list. Even if you know that someone here knows what they're talking about, or correspond in private email, you're taking a risk compared to the alternative. If you ask about something like this in freebsd-questions and someone gives you a stupid, biased or mistaken answer, there's hundreds of others ready to correct them. You don't want to throw that opportunity away when your disk depends on it. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
