Again, not to be rude (to you or fBSD) . . . but why stick with something that is giving you soooooo much trouble? There are a bunch of open source distros out there. I can appreciate that you do not want to f'around with another distro for another week . . . but . . . >From other posts, it sounded like you have recovered the essential files. Rationality may dictate you moving on. The only thing I can suggest that may help those who know better, is to post the demsg's of the two machines (the one that works and the pain in the ass), given that they are different machines. What happened to the "faulty hardware" idea? I dunno . . . good luck! > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
