I am a college student at HLG college. I am a Computer Information
Systems major and I have chosen to present FreeBSD to my class as a
final project. I downloaded version 6.0 from the freeBSD Site. I made

seemed
to have went ok, but when I go to put a password in for the root user
nothing happens. When I type letters the insertion point (cursor)
just
stays in the same place as if no letters are being typed. When I turn
it on now it seems to boot up fine. After I type in my login name and
password I am unsure of how to install or run an application, which I
am required to do for the project. I have tried finding a basic
tutorial on the internet, but have been unable to do so. Please
Help!!!
You can get a printed manual both user and admin volumes from
www.freebsdmall.com.
Also No Starch Press publishes a book titled 'Absolute BSD' by Michael
Lewis.
It is available through the O'Reilly publications site, or from stores
like Barnes and
Noble. There is also a book called FreeBSD Unleashed, but it may be out
of date
as it seems only to cover versions up to 4x. None of these cover
changes in v6,
specifically xfree86 has been replaced by x.org. This might throw you
off, it did me
but I learned that there doesn't seem to be a significant difference.
The only difference
I found was the X windows configuration script name, xorgconfig.
Hope this helps;
JK
