Well, I've got the system running. (woohoo!) I tried to recompile the kernel to enable support for my mouse. I believe I have all the source code for FreeBSD 2.1 (the snap released the other day, i think) However I got an undefined symbol error: hw_float in kern_sysctl.o I looked around the source but couldn't see where this variable is defined (it is declared in sys/sysctl.h). Am I doing something wrong? David Pullara ps. A sidebar question: I'm using PPP to connect to my school hosts. However it ties up one of the virtual consoles (I haven't configured X yet). Is this the way it is, or is there a way around this? Thanks!
