Re: Newbie--new install on Core 2 Duo?

so loads a SMP kernel anyways. It seems to work just fine with the single core, single CPU. The thing is though is that it refers to the CPU as cpu0. Doing it this way just might be the future... Oh, and I didn't tell it to use the SMP kernel. Sysinstall did that itself. So based on this

Re: How do I know if my internal PCI modem works on FreeBSD?

a hardware modem. The best way is lookup the model number on the manufacturer's web site and see what it is. If it says it's only compatible with Windows, then more than likely it's a software modem. -- Daniel Rudy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd
