Sorry, but that's incorrect. For eight years I ran a completely standard retail version of Windows NT on the machine, straight off the shelf. No special drivers required. I never had any problems. > Right. Plus Windows as well as FreeBSD will run on it flawlessly. I haven't tried Windows on a home-made box, but FreeBSD seems to run on it without any trouble. Apparently FreeBSD does have a problem with the on-board gigabit Ethernet interface on this motherboard, but I just plugged in my existing 3Com 100 Mbps Ethernet card and configured that instead, and the problem went away. > So what's your point in all those previous messages if you knew so > well what was the correct attitude in buying hardware? My point was that FreeBSD doesn't work on the machine. I wanted to know why. I still don't know why it doesn't work on the machine. Apparently nobody here really knows how FreeBSD works. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
