Thanks for all the advice and tips. I got X up and running and used the script in ports to get GDM running. Great. Everything working well so far. Remembered how to enable my sound card in a CUSTOM kernel and built and installed that. The main *problem* I'm having now (other than I need to find a place that can sell me the four disc set that includes lots of the ports, since I may want to run this actually) is that I need to get my modem setup. I was able to get it to dial yesterday. It was doing this weird thing where in dmesg it showed up with its IRQ on sio1 and the device itself showed up on sio4. I went into the kernel, disabled sio1 and it still showed up on sio4, but at least the irq showed up there as well. So then I started using cuaa4 as the device and I seemingly get connected when I run pppd, but the connection drops after a couple minutes and I can't actually get to the Internet. I need to figure out a way to look at what's actually happening with the chat script (if that's possible) because something isn't going quite right, seemingly. When I connect and then run ifconfig, there's no IP for ppp0, so I don't think I'm getting connected all the way. Preston
