It is so geared The above is clearly draw out of frustration (I know how frustrating computer stuff can be--I've been using FreeBSD for almost 5 years now and there are still things I don't know about it). As one other person said, perhaps you could try and look around the website more for some more information before continuing. The following URL is a bit out of date, but not too bad: http://www.freebsd.org/~rpratt/31/index.html The most frustrating thing for people (I've found) is getting slices and partitions on disks done correctly (and setting things up correctly for dual-booting into Ebola '98--which you didn't say you were doing). Once you get past this, the basic installation should be the "bin" package (and probably the kernel source) along with X windows. Try reading through the entire URL above as it's pretty good (we just need to update it with 3.3 stuff--which isn't much). -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds CEG, CCE, Next Generation Flows, HLA | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
