I can down the system in a million ways, yet can't do what I actually want? A major reason I got fed up with Windows (other than it not working right) was it's insistance of knowing what was best for me. I hope FreeBSD doesn't fall down the same path. Or at least have a kernel option FOOT_SHOOTING, or something, that will disable all the helpful code protection people from themselves. -- David Taylor davidt_at_yadt.co.uk "The future just ain't what it used to be"Received on Sat Nov 01 2003 - 04:35:37 UTC
