Don't sweat it. I understand. I like FreeBSD too. However, I'd like to note here that I HAVE tried APM support under 4.8-RELEASE on this laptop, and I couldn't even get 4.8 to detect APM in the BIOS at kernel boot. That may very well have been correctable with an obscure kernel option, but I doubt it. I'm pretty familiar with 4.8 as I run it on all of my servers. So, in short, I'm only running 5.1-RELEASE right now because 4.8 wouldn't detect APM at all... But I'm not here to gripe about it. I want to fix it. I want to make it better. I very strongly dislike giving Linux praise over FreeBSD. It's painful. :) So let's try to figure out why this CD-ROM keeps me from resuming after suspend, shall we? -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
