Can you be somewhat more specific about those error messages? It's rather difficult to debug a problem remotely based only on vague hints of what is goig wrong! > Now on the up to date thing, does that mean that it is installed already, > if so how do I know, pkg_info(1) should give you a list of installed ports and/or packages. > and where do you find the smb.conf file that configures it? For the most part, (non-X11) ports live under /usr/local - you should therefore expect to see configuration files under /usr/local/etc. > Also with the 4 CD set, I notice that I can install the entire system from > ONE CD, is that supposed to happen? What are the other CD's for? Speaking under correction, but I believe that the second CD is a live filesystem, if you want to run the OS (mostly) off CD, and the third and last CDs contain binary packages, pre-compiled from the ports. > I've read all the documentation on your FreeBSD help site, but I couldn't > find answers to any of these questions.
