Ha3x... I love my head... and I definitely won't beat my head just because I have a 1.2 megs of /kernel =) As a newbie... I was just trying to ask: "FreeBSD fellas... is it OK if I have 1.2 megs for /kernel?"

Linux, Windows 98, and beta version of Win2K can ;) He3x... thanks to Oliver, now I know that all I have to do is to issue a shutdown -p... Like I've said in my reply to Oliver's mail, definitely have to re-read all the FreeBSD manpages, cause there are a lot differences...
