WinDoze does probe for and assist in the setup of a modem. (It then screws up more often than enough, ..... yuk!) Linux probes for and assists in the setup of a modem, but doesn't screw up afterwards ... Yeh! ) The two efficient FreeBSD install methods are CDROM and network. Most of us newbies will be using CDROM, and immediately thereafter looking to use Internet access via modem and ISP. I am using Linux (RedHat 7.1) now, though I find that a bit hard because of my DOS expertise (hard to learn, when you also have to unlearn). My inclination is to use "real" Un*x ie FreeBSD rather than pseudo Minix/Un*x ie Linux, and that now is the time to switch - before I have TWO systems to unlearn! I havent tried uninstalling Xwrapper and reinstalling. Will have a go at that later. -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
