Hi, Apologies if these are trivial questions but I couldn't get any information regarding these issues (or couldn't find any): - I installed FreeBSD 4.0 manually on a Thinkpad 600X. The system boots fine and I get to the login message. - I installed and configure XFree86 4.0 and this also works fine. However I can not boot directly to X. Which file do I need to modify to start X after init time (my /etc/defaults/rc.conf correctly included a local_startup option pointing to rc.d and the file in there contains xdm but that doesn't work.) - I have two ethernet card. A Xircom realport modem + ethernet and a realport 2 ethernet only. I got the complete FreeBSD book and to my amazement the author mentions that pccard configuration is not discussed in the book. Bummer! BTW, the book is not really good. I learn more on line than what I can find in it. I don't recommend it. I tried to setup a /etc/pccard.conf by duplication the pccard.conf.sample. There are a couple of entries for xircom cards but none seem to be the ones I own. Should I leave the sample file alone or do I need to remove all entries but the card(s) I insert in there. When I insert the card, there is a message stating no entry for "")"". And running a verbose on pccardd shows only the first card in the sample list (Aeronet). Are both realport and realport2 supported in FreeBSD 4.0? I read somewhere that ethernet doesn't work with these cards. If not, is there some hope in the future? These cards seems to be pretty popular with IBM and DELL computers. Where can I find more info on setting up host and dns and network config for my ISP? I set up the hostname and a bunch of params as well as a resolv.conf file because I don't want to run a dns server on my machine. I would really appreciate if someone could give me a hint on this.
