When I switched, I ran into a similar problem with parallel port zip drives.

(Either that or hack makefile :D ) I guess I'm fortunate this hasn't caused a problem for me, at least not that I am aware of. Then again, it's nice to have portugrade to hold my hand. : o Linux kernel compile/install process is still a Royal PITA. FreeBSD : is as easy as a make buildkernel and a make installkernel. Ah, yes. Thanks for reminding me of this. It's been a long time since I did a Linux kernel customization. : o We have background fsck. I didn't think this was that important, : but when I actually saw it in action, I was impressed. It sounds very cool. Fortunately, my laptop doesn't crash often, so fscking isn't something I deal with often. Jonathon -- When I die, I want to go in my sleep, like my grandfather.
