I got them from Sunsite @ UTK. But that's a lot of work to have to go download gzip and GCC and all of the tools that are pretty much necessary in order to do anything.. Sure the OpenWindows interface and all is kinda neat.. But the thing is a vast resource hog (my P166/32/2.5 I was using didn't work out very well), and at the same time I still feel a lack of control. At least with Linux everything was 'there'.. I just can't stand linux because of knowing where 'there' is.. Not apt to changing something that works fine, so the FreeBSD box is here to stay. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
