Yes "INET" is IPv4, while "INET6" is IPv6. So, if you do not need IPv& at this point, you can remove INET6 from your kernel. INET should, however, probably remain in there, because without it, you won't be able to do much ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * nils@tisys.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
