Your question should include the VIA 82C586. :-) The answer will depend on who answer it. If it is Soren or one of the lucky ones that have it working, they will say everything is fine. For the rest of us with machines that don't want to install or that want to eat your disk if you install it somewhere else first, the answer is probably different. :-( John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
