Try it and see the difference. Yes, I see the difference using 100, thanks. I guess we're not able to install vmware-tools for 8.0 since the install does not find a FreeBSD8.0 kernel module? Not that I used them much on VMware Server, I was curious if they work any better on ESXi for FreeBSD8.0. Had to make changes to the script used to restart before and it didn't show IP, etc. I assume this hasn't changed though? --Robert
