Thanks for all the help with that particular problem... now on to the next one ;-) I have a 486/66 with a 3com card installed. There was a problem with the shared memory being disabled. The dos software that is being used needs it turned off.. and FreeBSD wants it on.. this is a problem that i have not figured out how to route around. Meanwhile I have been sucessful in getting the machines to boot correctly and come right up. but the 8meg machines crash right as xdm starts :-(. I have plenty of swap but it seems to have a problem right when you fill the memory up. Swapinfo on the machine shows that it has plenty of room available. Any ideas? Somthing else that I am going to be working on is creating an Xkernel style configuration for Low memory machines. If anyone else is interested in this let me know. -branson PS> I am back ;-) -- ======================================================================== branson matheson | work: e.b.matheson@larc.nasa.gov CSC SysAdmin | http://longstreet.larc.nasa.gov/~branson (w) 804-864-9700 |all other: ebm@visi.net
