It might be unrelated, but just out of curiousity: the gentoo FAQ (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/faq.html) has an entry "I have a Sony Super-Slim VAIO laptop, and the Gentoo Linux CD is having problems finding my PCMCIA ATAPI CD-ROM." in the "2. Installation" section. Who knows how to translate the LILO / Linux kernel centric answer to FreeBSD speak? This could be of help for some -mobile readers. BTW could gentoo's "portages" system be of interest for *BSD users, too. This project doesn't look at all like the usual bloatware desktop clicky Linux distro does but assumes an adult admin / user instead. :) It thinks to be attractive for Debian, "Linux from scratch" and *BSD users ... virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
