Thanks, I hope to be running the /same/ -- soon! :) Well, as you're now already aware, I've builtworld for the "i386" -- I have no idea how I ended up that way. That said, you can find the KERNCONF I'm using form: /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf @ https://ultimatedns.NET/XIII.gz Thank you very much for your continued time and consideration. --Chris > -Garrett
