If that doesn't work, then I'll reinstall. The key word here is opportunity and this is my opportunity to practice and learn. I wanted to focus on web design and web applications, so obviously, when something like this happens it's easy to get frustrated. However when a situation calls for the systems administrator, reality dictates that I have my systems admin act together. So, on with the show and stop crying. Your $0.02 is always welcome. To a newbie, it's worth a lot more. Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
