Two days? Although a modem is not exactky a speed demon it is not *that* slow. When I originally installed 3.1 over a 33.6k modem link it was more like 15 hours total. With a 56k modem and if you do a barebones installation I would be surprised if it took you more than about 10 hours. A bit of time granted, but quite a bit less than two days. > > Thanks for the suggestion tho, and if I can find someone with a fast > internet link to D/L it for me then I'll give it a shot. > > Regards, > Mark > > > What about just trying a install of FreeBSD 3.5.1 which uses the > > wd driver, and seeing if this one works?
