I got FreeBSD from walnut creek, and proceeded to install on one of my machines. No problems, and I was truely impressed in the hardware recognition capabilities which went without a hitch - you guys are really turning out good stuff... Two improvements for fossils that have no idea how to spell UN?X-- In the install.txt file make mention of where the handbook is located - the handbook contains a wealth of information, some pertanent, some not, but for me, it was extremely useful. The documentation stops at the point that you ger "LOGIN:" - remembering that I am a fossil, I am not privy to the standard logins that apparently pervade the unix worls - I took off my business suit and put on my propeller topped beenie and figgured it all out, but including a copy of the password.db file in install.txt would save new naieve installers like me many hours... I hope at some future time to be a contributor... depends on the learning curve... Many thanks for a truely neet product - Steve - (aka tink)
