Try the 2 disk install (ie kern.flp and mfsroot.flp) They boot, but when I got some sucker^h^h^h^h friend to test it, he had no end of trouble installing. Things like sysinstall trying to run the holographic shell twice, mounting things twice and sig-11'ing.. I recommended a source install after that :) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
