It has DDB in it's kernel, and I have it set to dump to a swap partition so I can look at the crash dump too. ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Mon, 4 Dec 2000, trini0 wrote: > Please let us know if this can be fixed.
