That is what I plan on doing now. Some of the software being installed wont work, but I just need to majority of it to work (i.e all the N-Code modules for NFR). If I can get the modules installed I could really care less about the raven SSL web server etc.. If all else fails I be forced to use OpenBSD. UGH. And If I do I can promise I wont renew our support or upgrade this product unless they support FreeBSD. This is such a joy :-) Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
