Please don't yell. 2. The tone of this message was not much better than the tone of the original. 3. Nobody is claiming, nor does anybody beleive that FreeBSD is *perfect*. (just better than most ;-)). You don't have to go through the installation process twice. Install once, and a little bit of setup thereafter. As far as I can tell, vinum can be used as a loadable module. This means that you will not even have to configure and recompile your kernel. I don't use it, so I don't know much about it. I do see that there is some information on it at http://www.lemis.com/vinum.html. This will probably get you started. Also, there is a section (which I skimmed through and it appears to be very good) in chapter 14 of _The Complete FreeBSD_ by, Greg Lehey (Walnut Creek; ISBN: 1571762469). Good luck. -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
