Thanks. I got 3.4 working on it with no problem so I think I'll just leave well enough alone. Still seems odd though <shrug> Ken -----Original Message----- From: Usov Alexander [mailto:usov@ups.kiev.ua] Sent: Friday, March 31, 2000 12:37 PM To: stealth93@mediaone.net; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 4.0 install on MMX machine I do have K6-233 which is old MMX chip too. 3.3-RELEASE worked OK. But 4.0-RELEASE works like a charm :) Thus I think you are missing something :) At least, put your hdd into PII-400, install 4.0 and then take it back into P200.
