I think this is the greatest advantage of 'the free unix's' over NT, etc. Could you imagine Gates responding to a post on Rec.Comp.windows.*? At any rate, Yes I made sure I had the 32 bit extension & virtual memory turned off. The only difference I could tell between my old netbsd & new OpenBSD setup is that I went from Sys 7.5.5 to 7.1. I just tried to boot it from an external running 7.5.5, and it still locked up. I am using the tar'ed images for the openbsd. Are there some other kernels to run? I thought about getting an old netbsd kernel to try out, but I'd really like to use the openbsd. It seems a bit more kept up to date. I'd appricate any ideas or thoughts. -s -- Shon Martin Client-Services Intern CSHON@oberlin.edu Oberlin College -- On 29 Mar 1997, Allen Briggs wrote: > In article <Pine.PMDF.3.91.970328090829.427268A-100000@OBERLIN.EDU>, > Stimpson J.
