You guys have done a great job of making the installation a lot easier. Once I figured out that I had to turn off the PnP features of my Network card, it was a snap to install over the Net. Thanks to everyone involved. I've got a couple of quick questions: 1) I selected emacs for installation during the initial process. I also selected the development option (I think there was one). When I tried running emacs, it complained that it couldn't find libgcc.261.0.so or something like that. I couldn't find that library anywhere. I don't know if I missed a package or what. I ended up just rebuilding 19.34. I thought there might be a problem though. 2) I've successfully configured my FreeBSD machine as an NIS client. I can successfully query our SGI Master NIS server, but there seems to be some weird behavior. First of all, I can't seem to get netgroup access control to work in the hosts.equiv file. Does that not work yet or was I probably missing something? Also, I have yet to be able to get NIS-based logins to work at the console (I can rlogin as myself, but can't rlogin as someone else either). I realize that is probably a pretty basic question, but I'm out of ideas on the matter. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. 3) I realize this isn't FreeBSD-specific, but maybe someone has experience with the default settings in the package: Should the Apache Server support cgi-bin scripts out of the box? The default conf files have ScriptAlias set up properly and all that, but I just couldn't get cgi-bin scripts to work until I put a link to /usr/local/www/cgi-bin from /usr/local/www/data/ and enabled ExecCGI for that directory. Any thoughts on that one? In any case, thanks again and congratulations. Please send any responses, chiding, suggestions, etc. by e-mail.
