There must have been a 'disturbance in the force' on the weekend from audio waves :) I also went for the big sound card plunge for the first time, though I wish it was a AWE64 and not my old SB pro. I must confess it wasn't that terrifying as I live with someone who can always bail me out of any kernel horrors, but it was extremely satisfying having him sit nearby while I did all of it (ok, he did have the occasional giggle watching me scratch my head, but kindly let me struggle on - what a hero). <snip> > In summary an altogether very satisfying FreeBSD Sunday afternoon :-) > > Michael Sometimes you just gotta dive in there and do it :) What will I try adding next weekend, symmetrical multi-processing kernel for a 386? *laff* Cheers, Chris :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
