isn't this the worst possible report??

[Jules Gilbert]

Well maybe worse, that the deal with AT&T for the BSD franchise has fallen apart...
Okay, so I have a FreeBSD 10.1 CD-ROM,  believed to be a true copy and authentic copy.
And I loaded it on a computer.  I did this entirely offline.  I also supplied passwords.

Then I went online to get packages.
Nothing unusual happened UNTIL the machine seized and when I rebooted I discovered it would hang and reboot.  A loop.
I had done nothing to cause this.  I had not opened an X session nor done anything other than load packages such as maxima, cproto.  Nothing involved in the area of security.

I had thought this was pretty much impossible...  Remember, this machine was brand new, I'd loaded FBSD-10.1 on it no more than an hour prior and had not messed with any of the internals.
