I am sorry.. but I did not know who I could send this to... I just recieved my FreeBSD CD-Roms a few days ago and I am currently trying to get things setup. I have gone through the installation, which seemed to go pretty easily.. however there are a few things that I can not seem to do. I am trying to access the Handbook.. if I go to my /usr/share/doc directory, there is no handbook there. I have tried to reinstall the INFO and DOC distributions.. and it appears they are installing correctly. Also.. I am trying to run a few ports. I have gone in and installed them and I can see the skeleton for them. However, when I type MAKE INSTALL it tells me it cannot find the file. When I look in the /usr/ports/distfiles directory.. it is empty. So.. I then looked at the handbook on your Web Page (back in win95 now) and I read about linking the cdrom. so.. I tried to link it but it tells me that /cdrom/ports/distfiles does not exist. When I looked at the cdrom.. it is correct, there is no distfiles on the cdrom.. just one BIG file of ports. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanx, Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
