It too me long enough to get them to let me have a machine to run FreeBSD on for our cvs source control - just had to get rid of microsoft snailsafe. I work from home, so I dont have access to a lot of hardware, so putting another machine together is not a good option right now. I'll try doscmd, and see how I go, but I'm not too hopeful... It really does bug me that some developers develop for just linux :( Thanks Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
