   I down loaded and put on CD-R's the AMD 64 and the i386 versions.
   The AMP 64 version wouldn't run because a line in /something/boot
was too long. (I have a 1.8 Gig AMD 64 CPU.)
   The i386 version ran fine, but it lacked everything. No mc, free didn't work
dir didn't work, df did work
   The X system menu had a terminal program and not much else other than a whole
list of screen managers to chose from all beginning with XF---
   Ping worked and it set up DHCP OK, firefox worked fine but it wasn't on the menu.
I may have missed a menu, but I sure looked, I found it useless for everyday use.
   Could the current BSD be like a worm in a horseradish, with all of that sweet
food all around? (this was like living in a cave comparing it to Ver.3.5 of
Slackware)
