I've only complained about two things in the past. First, I had trouble getting FreeBSD on my second IDE drive, because the documentation told me to type hd(1,a) when it should have said wd(1,a). Second, I complained once when you and a bunch of other regulars in this group were too busy making bad puns based on someone's request for help to actually bother to help the person. If I were in the blow up mood, surely I would have blown up a couple of days ago, when FreeBSD, which I was installing on my SCSI disk, insisted on screwing up the partition map on my first IDE drive, without permission. :-) --Tim Smith
