I just tried 3.2 (thinking maybe my 3.3 CDs were bad somehow); got a panic just as soon as it tried to read the bin distribution. A net install seems like it would succeed (although, with my connectivity, not to resoundingly fast... :-) ) [I've got the same IBM drives, I believe... - which makes your experiment even more interesting to me.. if you succeed, I will be jealous :-) ] - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
