To be honest, I just figured it was an artifact left over from a previous major version upgrade. This box did have fbsd-x86-6.x installed on it at once time, it started it's life with fbsd-x86-5.x and I immediately moved into the 6-branch to learn how to migrate major versions. I was also hoping it would be an easy fix :D. While I am a bit crafty, a lot of concepts are still new to me. Point me to what I should install, and I will happily install it if it will make it work. If it's deemed to be a lost cause ... then so be it and I just may embark on upgrading this box to fbsd-x86-8.1 and go from there. Could you simplify your wild guess into slightly more digestible terms :D Did you know... If you play a Windows 2000 CD backwards, you hear satanic messages, but what's worse is when you play it forward.... ...it installs Windows 2000 -- Alfred Perlstein on chat at freebsd.org <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
