After that even the shutdown and /stand/sysinstall hang. The zip drive worked well with 3.3-R as it was made by following the same instruction on the web pages. PS. How come 4.2-stable does not have the latest X Window version? While I was trying install a package, it complained the X is too old. I have no idea what went wrong with. Any help would be grateful. Thanks. Have a good new week all. -Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
