Only really old machines with pre-1995 BIOS should be broken in theory.) It would be nice if you wouldn't claim that I supported something that I didn't actually support though. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
