I sent a private reply to the first guy that responded to me so as not to clutter the list, but I guess I'll have to go public. I don't WANT the danged thing, I was just going to check if it would compile successfully! Time is not an issue, I've done my entire FreeBSD install and additions via a 28.8 connection. Any one that would download the Quake 2 demo wouldn't be fazed by a measly 65 meg. This is NOT a flame, I got a real kick out of all the replies. If it wasn't for people like you, I would not be nearly as far along with FreeBSD as I am now. Thanks again, everyone. -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n.
