Maybe I shouldnt try to do these things when I have been up for such a long time, especially when the error was so obvious. :) Ah well. Portsnap is happily extracting away right now, and I have a lot of work to do on that machine. But, the important thing is I finally have FreeBSD on my PowerBook, well kind of ;) Even if, for the moment it is more of a novelty than anything. Thanks for your help! Oops, real quick... Do you know the status of the Wireless driver? Does it have a Windows counterpart ? (I was hoping to use NDIS wrapper if all else failed... Either that or just put one of my other wireless cards in it...). Rickey On 8/7/06, Peter Grehan wrote: > > Hi Rickey, > > > Well, that didnt fix it.
