Funnily enough, it insalled O.K. the first time but I found I was unable to build Kernels. I Did re-installs on IRC FreeBsd advice after a week of no response from anyone on this list. Anyone else also having install or kernel build problems ??? Regards...Martin -------------------------- ken keeler wrote: > I have been unable to install from the 3.1 CD's.
