Thank you for your reply.  I am running 7.1-PRERELEASE.  I plan to 
update to 7.1-RELEASE as soon as I can get to the console, probably 
within the next month or so.  Is 7.1-PRERELEASE recent enough for -f8?  
It was built Oct. 9th.  Is there any big advantage of -f8 over -fc4?  I 
guess I just *feel* like -f8 would be more "updated" and less hassle in 
the long run.  However I know that with software, newer isn't always 
better.  :)

Thanks,

Drew
