You will find that it is kinder to Win9x than Win9x is to other OS'es. Another site with a lot of information in it is http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/. Dan, kept a diary as his installations progressed. Murphy can to visit a couple of times and he expalains what he did to fix them. You will find that responses are much kinder if you try to read first and then ask your questions. No one is getting paid to do this and you are expected to visit these places and do a search before you bother the other people. Read about how to get the best results at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html It is a lot of fun to have control. Something you don't have with MS OS'es. You don't have the source to Win9x and you can't completely rebuild the system on your own, which you usually end up doing with FreeBSD. I use 3.1-release and intend to upgrade that to a current snapshot of stable, which means the version is around two weeks old. I haven't installed it in a co-anything. It is the weekend around the world and some of the experts won't here right now as they are during the week.
