The thread seems to end on 19 April 2002 at 4:58 PM CDT without another reply from you. Perhaps the archive is truncated but I did not see any untoward attitude displayed by the folks on the freebsd-questions list. Here is another idea for you to get some experience. Try doing an installation in Virtual Box. You can try it as many times as you want. Just remove the virtual machine from the Virtual Box GUI, saying yes to remove all files and then start over taking another crack at things. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
