OK. That I will do. By coincidence, I have just finished reading chapter 12 of The Complete FreeBSD. I wish I'd bought this book before I'd installed FreeBSD. The time this book would have saved me! For example, if I'd read Chapter 11 before I installed my CD-ROM, I'd have not had the entry in my diary titled "Where did my file system go?". thanks. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
