I don't see any on Compaq's site; I don't see anything on there for Linux, either, so you can't even use that under emulation.

You can just boot into that. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
