Heeelp!! System spec FreeBSD 2.1 Jan 96 486DX4-100, PCI motherboard AMI Bios, 8Mb ram, Cirrus 5430 Graphic card, IBM 10baseT Ethernet card, IDE Hard drive on primary port of M/B, with CD Rom (Wearnes) set up as SLAVE to drive. What I want to do To create a cheap Intranet webserver/mailserver with connectivity to DOS Windows MAC and Acorn Before taking delivery of FreeBSD I had never any experiance of Unix. I have to say that I do not think it is as difficult as some would have it, although perhaps its early days yet. BUT my Problems (have read FAQs) CD Rom is recognized from boot floppy ie ATAPI driver present but when system installed, not. With network settings installed but no other station on our network setup to talk to it, our new BSD server takes several minutes to boot to the login promt. Message immediatly prior to login promt is unix.glces.com: bad value I am impressed with the quality of this software from a novices point of view and I know from my reading that that even Unix gurus regard it highly. I am on a very steep learning curve so bear with me if my questions seem nieve. -- Mike Curtis
