All I could find was at this site; http://livecd.sourceforge.net/download.php It's 4.6, is that useful? Anyway, it booted up to the login prompt without hanging. What does that tell us? Is there anything I can check with this disk or is there somewhere I can get the 8.0 live CD? ________________________________ From: Polytropon To: Bruce Cran Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Rich Sent: Mon, July 19, 2010 4:34:18 PM Subject: Re: system hangs on; "Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)...
