Then go off and have a coffee rather than having to wait around at the beck and call of a machine... conversely This has to work in the opposite direction too. ie Have a Doze program to allow change of the default to FreeBSD... regards, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
