Use a subject line on your message, like the one I've added. People are likely to ignore messages with no subject. 2. Keep line lengths under 80 characters. I've rewrapped the lines. 3. Only post messages once. You posted this message three times, with only minor differences between each. 4. When people give you good advice, act on it. Evren asked you to post the entire error message you received. You haven't done this. There must have been something above the "*** error code 1" explaining what caused the error. How about reading and/or posting that so people might have a clue what's going wrong? You'd do well to read Greg Lehey's guidelines for posting to freebsd-questions, there is a link from http://www.lemis.com/ -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
