I have version 2.1.0 but plan on buying a new CD of the latest version. And I'd like some tips. This is what I plan on buying. Cyrix 6x6 +200 motherboard 2940 Adaptec SCSI controller 16x CD-ROM IDE (Mitsumi?) 8 GB SCSI HD (Seagate?) SCSI Tape Drive (Seagate?) Video Card Matrix Mellanium 8MB Sound Blaster I have an agreement that if I can't get the hardware to work with FreeBSD I can swap till I get it to work! Please send responses to my e-mail address since I got my WWW connection taken away and then had to quit the mailing list because of bosses orders. --------------------------------------------------------- Miki Janosi NUMA Corporation, Akron, OH Tel: (330) 925-5000 x.455 email: mjanosi@numacorp.com
