What I suggest you do is a minimal install for now.. the bin/ and manpages/ bits only.. and then install the remaining parts you want (X, etc.) once you've got your FreeBSD box online. It's usually easier that way instead of doing it in one big chunk. - jim -- - jim mock - walnut creek cdrom/freebsd test labs - jim@luna.cdrom.com - - phone: 1.925.691.2800 x.3814 - fax: 1.925.674.0821 - jim@FreeBSD.org - - editor - The FreeBSDzine - www.freebsdzine.org - jim@freebsdzine.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
