Generally when installing a windoze application one downloads the zip file and the instructions, logs off and then goes away and reads off line. Although instructions may be offered separately, the instructions found inside the zip archive are usually more complete. There is nothing in the HTML above that a windoze user wouldn't understand, nor is there anything to indicate that the method I describe is not valid for FreeBSD. For someone who thinks sin95 runs on every computer and every downloadable is the same deal, we don't explain in a way they can readily understand. Saying it's an operating system is not enough. After all, they call their GUI DOS shell an operating system, and it installs right over DOS. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
