I guess its my machine after after all. Hmmm. How'd that happen? :) >They need to grab a 2.2.5 floppy or yank a SIMM until you're finished >installing.

Wouldn't you know that I bought Complete FreeBSD a on the same day that the announcement hit my email box. Now it will cost me for a new CD. I can resist the cutting edge... I can resist... must hold..... out ..... :) THanks for the info on the bug, Jason Wells
