    SORRY, SORRY AND ONE MORE SORRY.

    I love FBSD very much, but it really writes (during boot-up) something about
    fragmentation.
    So I forgot about its professionality and so for a moment and write my
    stupid question to the list.
    At least, everyone will now know...

    Sincerelly

    Peter Rosa
