Well - much like the HCL list of > NT4, YOU are on your own. In other words, the FreeBSD list is worthless, since if something on the list doesn't work, one can always claim that there is some _specific_ detail about one's hardware that the list didn't _explicitly_ approve. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
