Hi Chris,

I too have recently come to FreeBSD.  I have a HP SureStore DAT 40
that I am using with WinBlows.  The software setup on that OS
is very straightforward.

Taking a look at Amanda and some of the config files, I am completely
confused.  Does anyone, anywhere have a simple, understandable
way to get Amanda working with FreeBSD and an HP SureStore 40 GB?

Help!!!
