And i did RTFM. I compiled a new kernel with APM support and enabled it through the sysinstall menu. I also enable pcmcia cards. Neither works properly. This is a Toshiba Satellite 4010. APM says it is running, but it won't shutdown after HALTing. KPPP cannot find the PCMCIA modem. Other issues: i'm having trouble getting ports to install. I type make install for midnight commander, it says all went well, but mc doesn't work. A 'find' comes up dry as well. I want bash to be my default shell, and after setting this is master.passwd, it still comes up with the default. jcm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
