Hi guys, I recently aquired a copy of FreeBSD 4.2. I attempted to install it on my computer. (I made this computer and had all the books with the component specs handy) I selected the Gnome and Enlightenment packages along with the Xwindow ones. I got all the way to the part where it tells you that you have successfully installed FreeBSD and I could even see the partition marked as such using Partition Magic 6.0 in Windows on the other disk. (I installed this to a second hard drive running as "slave") To make a long story short, after login I typed "startx" and it replied "cannot find "x" Went to "xf86config" and set up the monitor and the card and when I rebooted and started X, it ran a large amount of data past me on the screen and then said "cannot start X"... it froze here. and I had to reboot. I was never able to get past this. The monitor is a Samsung SynchMaster 753DF 17inch screen running 1280x1024 video card is ATI Radeon AGP with 64MB memory motherboard is Asus CUV4X -E with a 1ghz Intel Processor and 512 RAM I have 2 physical hard drives 1 60GB (C:) and 1 40GB (D:) -- I attempted to install on the D: drive. Any ideas or help you could give would be great (boyfriend wants to run Windows Advanced Server :-P ) marianne mailto:uddane@aol.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
