Wow, a string of disjunct questions! It would be better to separate your questions into separate messages. On Fri, 13 Sep 1996 shegonee@ix.netcom.com wrote: > What exactly is SNAP? Where can I get it? A SNAP is short for SNAPshot and is a pseudo-release. It's built from the current standing of FreeBSD. Usually they're pretty stable and can have nice new features or what have you. Unfortunately they can be buggy. SNAPS can be had from ftp.freebsd.org, or selected SNAPs are published in limited numbers on CD from Walnut Creek. > How do I install it? Just like a release. > Can I run a web browser under free BSD? Certainly. If you have XWindows installed you can even use Netscape; look for the 'i386-unknown-bsd' version. > Where can I get detailed instructions to set up a dialup connection with > my ISP? Check the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook.
