I happen to have a reasonably powerful box with a quite recent 3.x-STABLE and an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ NIC, and a 3Com3c905 NIC that I can borrow out of another machine. I'd also like to play with upgrading to 4.0 on another disk on this machine, so maybe I can do this as well. If someone can point me at some instructions on how I can install 4.0 on a second disk on the same machine (so that I can keep my 3.x-STABLE, thankyouverymuch ;-), I'll be glad to try some benchmarking with ftp'ing and scp'ing large files around on our internal backbone. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
