I absolutely agree with Jordan on this point. I'm having an increasingly hard time keeping our lab running FreeBSD over Linux due to pressure from higher-ups who aren't in the technical trenches with me and who don't understand the very good technical reasons I have for running FreeBSD here. On

I'd be more than happy to do the pestering if some one could write down a detailed description of exactly how the TP's BIOS is non-compliant. I don't know enough about the boot process and BIOS to write such a description. Tom On Fri, 13 Aug 1999, Mike Smith wrote: > > I attempt to boot a CD

Hi all, Has anyone yet tried running -current on a Xeon with 4GB RAM installed? We're about to place an order for a Quad Xeon and would like to have 4GB of RAM installed if it is feasible and/or possible to make this work with -current. Thanks for the help, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail t
