Well, I have tried this pathway before, and decided not to go there anymore, the only logical answer I'll get if I complain about the version, everyone wil say ok, don't run 4.0-current its for developers, and I really want to be -current, if you know what I mean, although got hit SEVERLY, some 4 months back, and ALL the hard disks got fucked up because of some problems during saving into the filesystems, I did not complain to anyone, I swallowed my mysery, forgot about TONS of software that were lost after very long downloads, and reformatted about 15 Gigs, patiently, quit using FreeBSD for few months, then reinstalled version 3.1 -RELEASE, and at that momnet there was a very stupid thing, the machine swore NOT to connect AT ALL to the net, always giving me very CRAZY error "All received bytes had 7th bit unset" so I figured the system really is angry, so I decided to put up BACK my Free BSD 4.0 -current, same one suspected to have caused Major loss of data, Oh I forgot very important thing to say, that FreeBSD have some problems with writing "or burning" (according to your personal aggressiveness) on HP 8100 CD writer, so I could not save my data really, and I was hit real hard, but you know we always like to keep fighting in this life aint we. > > Try running the pppd connection with out the > x-windows.
