This is off topic, I was wondering if there is a pretty little gui that will run when booting. Kinda like windows, lindows, and even Redhat Fedora has one; which can be switched back and forth. Basically, so I don't have to see the text scrolling down and just see a loader with %. Maybe in the ports collection? If not I might have write one. :oP Oh, and thanks for your comments/answers. One last question thought? How do I get rid of that fragmentation crap? Just for shits and giggles.. ;o) Bruce On Tue, 2004-06-08 at 02:09, Murray Taylor wrote: > Fragmentation is a non-event in 99.999% of cases.
