I'd simply install cucipop using /stand/sysinstall because that works OK (I must check how I suggested to do that ... if I said from ports I'll need to update. Back in the days of 3.2, installing cucipop from sysinstall didn't always work but its always worked OK for me in 4.x) ----- Original Message ----- From: "RS" To: Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2001 11:41 PM Subject: Question > First, let me thank you for the FBSD install guide you > put on the troll.apana site!
