Thank you for your time. Depends on what you want to do with the machine. If you want to use it with Windows, I would suggest that you trash the FreeBSD installation and install Windows over it. Otherwise you will have to put in the time to learn the O/S; there are quite a few resources on the 'Net including the FreeBSD Handbook, as well as Greg Lehey's (free) book "The Complete FreeBSD". -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the remaining 3%?
