I have a technical support question and need help. I installed FreeBSD on 2 old Pentium based PCs about four months ago to run applications. Now we were given 2 new Pentium II machines to replace the old ones. I installed FreeBSD on the new PCs. As with the original Pentium PCs, I had to build new kernels on the new Pentium II machines to add support for a second network card in each machine. This was simple enough to do. All that was needed was to add a line to the kernel. The applications that I was using on the old Pentiums were sent by ftp to the new machines. Logged in as root, the owner and group properties were changed to root and wheel, respectively. The execute permissions were added to the owner of the applications, which is root. (This is the same setup as the applications on the old Pentium PCs.) Now, I cannot run any of my imported applications on both of the new PCs. For example, if I try to run an installation called "install-mkchart", the response given is "install-mkchart: command not found" . This does not make sense because, as root, I am in the same directory when trying to run the script. I can run the programs from the old machines without any problems. Is there any other configuration that should be checked in order to run my applications on the newly installed PCs? Thanks for any help you can offer.
