Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I've recently installed 2.0.5 from a floppy distribution of bin.aa-bin.cp. After the initial installation, several questions were asked about configuring many aspects of the system, but each was looking for other distributions (e.g. compat1x, etc). I've downloaded several : manpages, games, compat1x and compat20. Now what? I've looked in the FAQ, but I can't find how to access the floppy. I'd check the manpages but... Are there other distributions I will probably need? What about XF86312? Is this XFree86 ver 3.1.2? I'll almost certainly need some of the packages listed in that directory. How should I proceed to install them. At this point I could start over with 2.1.0 I suppose, without much headache, but downloading those 70+ bin.[a-c][a-z] files wasn't fun. Is there a better approach to upgrade to 2.1.0? I don't know if my CD-ROM will be recognized yet. I have downloaded the atapi.flp just in case.
