I will check for sure, but I believe that they don't. I am about 95% sure of that. I did select the DES distribution, then from the sub-menu, what I remember is picking the first and the last items. I don't know exactly what that translates into.... I assume I can grab the DES distribution from the master site, and unpack with some statement like ``cd /; cat ~/des.* | tar -zxvopf -'' or some such? Again, I don't recall the exact nature of the distribution -- been awhile since I've messed with that. And I'm about 45 minutes away from my FreeBSD machine right now :-( Thanks again for the help, John "Passwordless" Goerzen <g>
