Should I just dive right in with the info in The Complete FreeBSD, chapter 19? I guess -stable would be the better choice for me, I am not a programmer of any kind, I think I might be getting in over my head with -current. I looked at the handbook on the freebsd.org website and it has a much longer version of doing apparently the same thing. Opinions and suggestions wanted from those who are already doing this. -- Chip W. www.wiegand.org FreeBSD - a Better Choice To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
