To remove unwanted drivers and stuff. That's what I picked up from freebsd-newbies/freebsd-stable/comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Am I right? I've never installed or used FreeBSD, but I will be doing in 2 to 3 weeks. Hence I'm already reading the mailing lists and newsgroups. In my opinion all this reading has got me far better prepared then any FAQ or handbook. There is a better way then learning by making mistakes, and that's learning from other people's mistakes! :-) -- Andrew Boothman : andrew@boothman.easynet.co.uk (http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~boothman/andrew/) "Do geography teachers eat Water Table biscuits?" - Me To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
