The FreeBSD recovered the first time but it doesn't look good this second time. I attach a screenshot. I installed the guest editions as well (another day's compilation !) but mouse doesn't work in the FreeBSD terminal and there's no way I can copy text, or share anything via the clipboard. I'm afraid it's shot and I'll have to spend another week recreating a FreeBSD virtualbox guest ... unless you can tell me how to fix this one. Hope to hear from you, but if I haven't by tomorrow I'll just go ahead and wipe this machine and try again ... with pkgs instead of ports this time. Might not a take a week that way. I get the impression that there's no one reading my mails, or else no interest in my problems. Fair enough. What do I expect for free, right? Thanks for the software anyway. -- john francis lee 246/3 Moo 22 Thanon Kaew Wai Mueang Chiangrai 57000 Thailand --------------030907050702090401020901--
