It is one of three intractable problems (so far...) remaining from a broken install. I cannot get a printer to run. And Samba refuses to allow any connections. I've seen several other posts to the list with similar install woes and think I should have waited for a new CD. But, being impatient, I managed to get it running. (I'm certain there are some bad files on the CD set, one of which has the sysinstall program.) Its a growth experience. ;-) John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
