sorry for the cross posting, but please read on. This notebook was running Windows XP till one day decided to crash and since then the feared blue screen of death started to appear, all the king horses and all the kings men couldn't put this little note book back in working condition. I made it boot diskless, took about 2 minutes, booted current, mounted the ntfs partition, recovered all important files, and is now running current - with some minor problems - but no crash yet. So bsdtar crashes, reboot hangs, but hey, the system recovers, and no panics! and this is current! even X11 is working. thanks for a great job! danny -- Daniel Braniss e-mail: [email protected] Manager of Computing Facilities phone: +972 2 658 4385 School of Computer Science and Engineering Fax: +972 2 561 7723 The Hebrew University Jerusalem Edmond Safra Campus, Givat Ram, Israel _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
