: Hey, have any of you ever installed NT 3.51 Workstation? It's sick : how badly it shows us up. Mind you, when it fails it fails rather : spectacularly (just try installing on a P54NP4 board with an older : BIOS revision - NT install blows up and you're left with *zero* clue : as to why or what to do next) but when it works, it works really well. That's right! I want to be able to get FreeBSD to that point. I'm *NOT* saying you must use it. I'm saying you can. Those that don't want to dl the X server to do the install don't have to! If you have a CD player and all of this is on CD (or, say, a ZIP drive), then why not? : Any black magicians out there interested : in starting a `FreeBSD Detect 1.0' project? :-) *SHUDDER*. The only person that I know in town that knows how to do this did a lot for Linux. He now jumps out of perfectly good airplanes with parachutes purchased from "The Uninsured Parachute Packaging Company of Bangor Maine". : I can say one thing with absolute authority: The current "hardware : detection" scheme in sysinstall is utterly bogus, hateful and : genuinely evil. Agreed. I'm more of a GUI person myself. :-(. However, I like the way that you think.... Warner
