Is there a rule? If this pc is *not* connected to the Internet just make up a name and enter it in /etc/rc.conf hostname="fserv.my.domain" And then make sure to add that to /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost fserv.my.domain > Also my cd-rom driver doesn't work properly.

You'll need an entry like /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 in /etc/fstab. That's a SCSI CD, an IDE is wcd0a (I think) Dan -- Dan Busarow 949 443 4172 Dana Point Communications, Inc. dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
