I installed from a cd which came with "the complete reference, freebsd"-- greg lehey. I am a newbie :) I got it installed, but don't have the sound working/cdrom working. I have a /cdrom dir, but nothing gets listed when I try to list the contents. Do I have to mount it? How? Do I have to compile the sound support into the kernel? Help will be appreciated. Finally, I am trying to connect to the internet. I used kpp which comes with KDE. I can connect to the internet, get my dyn. ip etc. But, I can't access any site at all. What haven;t I done? It can't resolve any hostname I think, and it waits indefinetly for a response when I type in an ip address in netscape's location bar. Also, I tried to setup apache, but it wouldn't start saying that it couldn't recognise the local machine's hostname. I had to add the "ServerName localhost" directive in httpd.conf to make it start. Yet, I can't connect to localhost. Sorry for the long mail. I would really appreciate help.
