    There is a MasterCard joke in that somewhere, because accidentally posting a
    password to a public list: priceless. Changed that one pretty quick, and
    luckily, use it almost nowhere else. :)

    Thanks for the ideas on TFTP, guys. Although some went over my head, I do
    think I figured out my internal error problem. I was making the ports from
    my house using SSH and that is the error I was getting. What was really
    happening at the time is my swap file ran out of memory. The drive is 12
    gig, with 9 gig free. I wish the swap file had been made bigger on
    install...

    On a different note, a coworker let me borrow a computer to install/learn
    FreeBSD on. At some point he will want it back. How does FreeBSD work at
    say, backing up and restoring, cloning the hard drive, or pulling the drive
    out and putting it into a different system? I was thinking about just
    installing from scratch on one of my own computers, but it is getting to the
    point where I have a ton of time tied up in this and maybe I don't want to
    start over.

    I kind of got thrown into an IT type of job at a wireless ISP and they have
    three FreeBSD servers running. In less than a month, just to learn my way
    around in UNIX, I have setup FreeBSD, an FTP server, a DNS server, Webmin,
    Apache (see: www.gospeedy.net) and I'm now working on smtp/POP3. That might
    not be much for you guys, but I'm happy that I have gotten as far as I have.

    Thanks,

    Jay Banks
