Mandrake: MAn Dragon...according to Revolations...not good. FreeBSD : Well...the daemon ;) so...linux and bsd could be said to be "evil" or non-religious. Then we must turn to Windows... mmm... In Africa there is a place called "God's Window". We can thus not place ourselves in such a greater being's status to look out his window. At last I found one...MS-DOS. Old and no religios connectations...Apart from above mentioned Windows problem...must have been new management;) That is way I here your problem but could not clearly see the problem with any Os's. How about you install BSD and just clear the conf file which shows Beastie at startup.

It's almost like a > guest who comes into your home and then starts redecorating! ... I believe there was nothing in the original question that would resemble "redecorating". It was a polite question about why FreeBSD had this "feature". I am, personally, currently helping my friend to buy and configure a computer for him and his family. Although I know FreeBSD better than Linux (and this does not mean I am a FreeBSD guru), I'll be installing something like Ubuntu on that machine, not FreeBSD, because my friend and his family are religious men. -- Dmitry "We live less by imagination than despite it" - Rockwell Kent, "N by E"
