It worked nearly flawlessly, once I discovered that the boot floppy required an 8Meg system (maybe this should be documented???) I also have not figgured out how the packages are supposed to work. I cannot find the README in the packages subdirectory which the FreeBSD.FAQ refers to. It looks like the rumors about the networking code in FreeBSD being much better than Linux appears to be true. So far I have not been able to break it (unlike Linux...) Thanks to all involved!!! Dabe
