Got that one - our messages crossed. So: >Well, I did get it going. There are a lot of things that I am >tempted to do with it, Let us in on your plans!

That is a bit of a problem. I might try and print the partition type and maybe the name in the sysinstall menu so it's easier to figure out what's going on. >Apparently the CD does >not have the ports collection on it, so you might as well say 'no' >there.

FreeBSD ignores the partition type and doesn't change it. later, Peter.
