You made a very bad assumption and you are misinformed. How foolish to assume a UNIX advocate is going to provide accurate information regarding Win95. Perhaps you should trying looking at the software yourself rather than relying on what someone else told you. Win95 does lets you step through the configuration files. : >: ...

Do you have any Win95 experience? Win95 does not need config.sys to boot. Is the FreeBSD community so insecure that they feel the need to create these contrived problems where FreeBSD can come to the rescue? I'm sure Win95 has plenty of real flaws, could we try discussing them instead of this contrived crap? Tony -- ------------------ Tony Tribelli adtribelli@acm.org
