Printer: I have set up FreeBSD for printing. I verified that /var/spool was correct. I did lptest > /dev/lpt0 and the printer responded. When I tried to print a file, I got the folllowing: lpr: connect: No such file or directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon I verified that the queue has the jobs. Ports: I would like to load my ports from the cdrom. The cdrom is in the /dev directory but /cdrom is empty. I want to load pdksh but that failed also. Monitor: I have a Dell monitor with a S3 Vision 968 PCI card. I want to load X but I'm not sure which driver to use. Finally, I would like to change the display. I read the manual and tried all the buttons on the front. I wonder if could change it through FreeBSD. I would like 1024 x 768. Just curious. I set PS1 to show my current working directory using pwd. However, when I switch to a lower directory, the prompt keeps the home directory. I wonder if this is because I'm using sh instead of pdksh. So far I have awk working. What a blessing!
