I tried using the port to dual-boot FreeBSD 4.6 and Windows XP. Upon selecting XP in the boot menu it would get to the point where the XP logo shows (where you can hit F8 and such) then complain it couldn't find the kernel or something. I can't recall because it's been so long. I'm sure I had it configured as per the directions; even had the same error with the Gag boot loader in ports. I just removed XP and went all FreeBSD instead. I only wanted to use MS Office and I can still run it through vmware 3.x on my RH box. P.S. Top posting because thats what Pine does by default. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Steve Wingate <s.wingate@cox.net> |MCSE, CCNA Mon Nov 11 09:59:00 PST 2002 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ |FreeBSD 4.7-RC | 9:59AM up 23 days, 10:31, 2 users, load averages: 0.11, 0.07, 0.02 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ On Mon, 11 Nov 2002, Cliff Sarginson wrote: > Hello, > A simple question.
