What are you doing to help, TM4321@aol, or whatever your new handle for today is? You've got access to the FreeBSD source code, Intel publishes lots of data about their chipsets, so between the two, you've got everything you need to change FreeBSD to work on the specific motherboards you care so much about. Either you make positive contributions, or you choose not to-- in which case you are wasting your time. > AND, that freebsd "people" would rather ridicule people that ask why > than fix things. The overwhelming majority of people on the FreeBSD lists are polite and helpful, but some people are willing to make exceptions for trolls. If you don't like being ridiculed, try doing something constructive for a change and compare the response you get to your current approach. Even if you fail to learn anything, you will at least benefit by acting like a productive human being for the duration. -- -Chuck
