Ah, that's what was throwing me off. I grabbed src.tar.gz from CD and saw everything in /usr/src/sys so was just a little confused. Installed 3.8 on this IBM T20 I found at work and I'm digging it more than my Dell Latitude D600 even though it's 3 years older. apm works, which is more than I can say for ACPI on the Dell, and the IBM keyboard feels waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, plus the track stick/pencil eraser/whatever it's called on the IBM doesn't get stuck scrolling off the side of the screen the like the Dell's does. Thanks! Greg
