Note that the FreeBSD support is still "beta", in a sense. It has not been tested extensively on 4.x, so please send any problems (with logfiles! - read the Mondo support page) to me. Better yet, subscribe to the mondo-devel mailing list & send them there. Thanks! -- Josh > > Did you try those already? > > -- > Andreas Kohn
