Does anyone have a config.data that has compiled : successfully and if so could I possibly get a copy? OK. I will clean up my mess and see if I have time to port the sources according to the instructions on the freeBSD www site. Fortunately, my friend did a good job with it when porting to BSDI 2.0.1 so there was not much work for me to do. Folks who would prefer not to wait can send me email. :) Regards, Chris -- Christopher Mauritz | For info on internet access: ritz@mordor.com | finger/mail info@ritz.mordor.com OR Mordor International | http://www.mordor.com/ 201/212/718 internet access | Modem: (201)433-7343,(212)843-3451
