This will generally pare down everthing for you and you'll have no conflicts in the end. Follow the instructions on the screen to disable drivers for any hardware that isn't present in your computer and then continue from there. You'll seldom need to worry about changing port addresses, etc. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
