Yeah, but sometimes making the assumption that things are identical is the cause of lots of grief. > p.s. - what does do? Maybe its or , but its something you have to do to interupt NT install in order to insert proper drivers for the Adaptec subsystem else if one waits for NT to *ask* for device drivers then its too late. While NT is capable of loading these device drivers from alternate sources during install its too stupid to ask for them until after its too late to actually use them to perform the install. As a result I had FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE running on my P2B-S about a week before NT. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
