I think there was a hidden message to me there, one thing was clear, my new laptop had not been rebooted so many times in it's whole life as it had following the setup attempts of that damm WindowsME. Had no problem getting Linux and FreeBSD to use it. FreeBSD was the easiest of them all to setup. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
