The best approach to learn more about FreeBSD in my opinion is to install PCBSD 1.3.01 which is based on FreeBSD 6.1 or DesktopBSD 1.6-RC1 which is FreeBSD 6.2 , they will detect your cpus and will install the right kernel to use both cpus beside complete ready FreeBSD with KDE desktop in your thinkpad notebook. Thanks. I do want to say though that i have *used* FreeBSD alot on the desktop before (though im still pretty novice), i just havnent *installed* it--friends always did it for me. So i'm sure PCBSD or DesktopBSD are good solutions, but i'm trying to do a full install of the real thing, and learn how to do this myself. Jen --------------------------------- The fish are biting.
