How > did you read the stuff that's on the CD? Speaking of reading manuals, anyone know of a good, step-by-step FreeBSD Installation guide? I've looked over Freebsd.org again and again, and have yet to find something like this. Being of that type that seems to be eternally poor, *grin* certain pieces of my hardware are stripped from where I could get them, for instance, an old 3-com Etherlink II card. It took me over four hours to figure out that I needed to do a custom installtion because FreeBSD was looking for the card on IRQ5, not IRQ9. It would help a bit, as I don't like to bug Rod over trivial stuff like that. :) Rick Hamell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
