I had a weird install where i deleted /usr/X11R6 and had to reinstall over that. I've reinstalled everything over the existing installation, copied the assorted password files back into /etc, and at least make is working again. It still can't talke to the printer, and I'm wondering if cat-ting to /dev/audio is just dumb-I can run realplayer 8 and rplay without a problem. This system *shouldn't* be my primary for more than a month or two longer (which is why I put off using FreeBSD rather than Linux in the first place); supposedly a laptop is in the works, and we're trying to work out a sparc or rs6000 as well. hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
