Okay, I figured out how to install 2.2.2, it's up and running and not doing a lot just yet. I'm feeling kind of lost. I'm pretty much a Unix newbie to begin with, and the available documentation is either non-tutorial (man pages) or kind of not really terribly helpful for a novice (handbook). I generally have a good idea of what I want to do, but no clear idea of how to get there. A sampling of the questions/problems I've had so far: How can I login as root from a remote location? How do I partition and format a 2nd hard disk? Is there an easy way to create a new account? Can FreeBSD support my old Thomas-Conrad 5045 Ethernet adapter? How do I get Apache running, since sysinstall can't find it? If anyone knows of a good way to start learning this stuff, I'd like to hear it. I'd love to get my hands on something like a big, heavy, 1000-plus-page Unix system administrator's guidebook, if anyone cares to recommend a title. "Unix for Dummies" I can do without. :) Thanks, -Scott
