The information which you requested is at the bottom. dmesg, fstab, and rc.conf. While the 'dmesg' refers to a printer, I haven't hooked one up to this system yet. I figured that I would deal with one problem at a time. So far, none of the UNIX type systems has liked much of my equipment, and I have a lot more to add to it.... In reading your message, I see that I need to clear one point up. I've had version 5.0, 5.2, 5.2.1 and 5.3 of FreeBSD on this laptop. I have also had several versions of Linux on this laptop. It is a test computer for trying out various systems to see what will work for me. The systems installed were installed after the hard disk was re-formated and wiped clean. There was no remaining information on the hard drive. It was a completely clean install. (Note: If you remove the FreeBSD partitions, then simply re-create a FreeBSD partition system on the same drive, the information is still there on the hard drive. You can even read your old files. I wiped the drive before installing it by writing to every block on the hard drive between removing one and installing the next operating system. I have a couple of special programs which run from a floppy which do this.) I use computers all day, every day. I'm a truck driver. Computers are integrated into the trucking business. Trucking companies employ a vast number of IT professionals. In the last few years, drivers have had to learn about computers. I had a head start. In many communities and for several years now, truck drivers are the most numerous group of computer buyers. I need a computer in my truck everyday, and at home when I'm there, and I need them all day long. Computers that I can count on. Microsoft systems have never been real dependable. With the various viruses floating around, they have become even less dependable. I have been looking to see what I can replace the MS operating system with for daily usage. When I am satisfied, then that operating system will end up on several of my computers. But not until then. I haven't found any that I am satisfied with. But I attribute that to my own lack of knowledge on UNIX type systems, and on networking in general. Using this older backup computer is the way that I have chosen to figure this out. FreeBSD seems to be very difficult for me to learn, but I also think that it may be the way to go, too.
