Installation is a huge number of small straightforward steps. In my experience, you can't go wrong if you patiently follow the install docco exactly, right the way through to the end, including the sections on cron and authentication, until you get it up and fully working. Don't try to skip or embellish. After that it's safe to fiddle. YMMV. I've started a FreeBSD page for anyone who notices FreeBSD-specific gotchas, or who wants to collaborate on developing a FreeBSD port. http://TWiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiOnFreeBSD -- Regards, -*Sue*- http://www.sievx.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
