Oh and i did end up getting 'The Complete FreeBSD'..that tome was held close to me during much of the early days, and still comes in handy for reference. Gonna get 3.4 soon after it's off the presses. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Young To: m Cc: Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 1999 4:13 PM Subject: Re: Experiences > NO ...... but then I did something REAL stupid .....
