I got the machine up and running, and after fighting with Samba and my lack of knowledge of FreeBSD everything seems to be working well… I will set up NFS tomorrow just for completeness… Right now I am purging my old Win98 partition of all the “this is a boot” drive stuff that is no longer necessary, as well as data that has become duplicated or unnecessary…
As you can no doubt see from the time of this posting it is very late, and I am definately going to regret staying up this late in the morning…. Oh well, It’s nice to go back into computer dork-out mode on occasion… :)
