Hi Giorgos et al,
thanks for your patience.
I have enclosed the output of dsmeg, ps, XF86Config if it helps in
understanding why my system runs slower than W2000 & why I cannot connect to
the net via my broadband connection.

Thanks for that. I have ipfw loaded okay(I hope). After reading 14.8.3 from the
handbook regarding IPFW, I was a little worried.
"14.8.3 Enabling IPFW on FreeBSD
As the main part of the IPFW system lives in the kernel, you will need to add
one or more options to your kernel configuration file, depending on what
facilities you want, and RECOMPILE your kernel."

If I understand it correctly after reading the handbook, if I add
'firewall_type=open' in my '/etc/rc.conf' file, will it make all
incoming/outgoing ports open so I can connect to the net with sysinstall to
download packages ???

Legend. Got this script working now :))
...Except...All modules seem to install okay Except for "mod_perl".
I get the error:
-----------------------
[-] 16) -Mod Perl 1.29
Choice [?] 16
LWP::UserAgent not installed!
HTML::HeadParser not installed!
Type "perl -MCPAN -e shell" to start the perl CPAN
shell, then "install LWP::UserAgent" to install the LWP::UserAgent module!
Substitute LWP::UserAgent for any perl module.
------------------------------
I don't understand what I am supposed to "substitute" (above) ???
Other problems(Doh!):
1) For automount, I edited /etc/fstab.
It was easier & more logical than the editing amd(/etc/amd.conf & /etc/amd.map)
Problem: There has to be a CD in the CD drive & a floppy in the floppy drive
otherwise the drives don't automount & the bootup faulters !!
- This is annoying. Is there a way around this so I can automount at bootup
without a disk being in the drive ???
2) I ran xf86config & generated a new config file. It broke X & I was not able
to log in. Thankfully I saved a working one to floppy.
Any suggestions as to what I can change in my XF86Config file(attached) so that
all the hardware is being utilised & that the screen is being used fully
instead of only 80% ???
-------------------------
My Monitor Specs(If this helps):
viewsonic pf775
1600x1200 @ 77Hz
1280x1024 @ 90Hz
1024x768 @ 118Hz
800x600 @ 149Hz
Frequency f h: 30~97kHz; f v: 50~180Hz
---------------------------
3) I tried to intstall the login client for my broadband connection so I can
use sysinstall to download & install packages.
The program fails on make & make install!
Screen Output
-------------------
127# make install
Makefile error: there is no COMMENT variable defined
for this port. Please, rectify this.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/distfiles/login.
-------------------
Makefile
-----------------------------
PORTNAME= login
PORTVERSION= 2.0
CATEGORIES= net
MASTER_SITES= http://
DISTNAME= login
EXTRACT_SUFX= -2.0-unix-src.tar.gz
GNU_CONFIGURE= yes
USE_GMAKE= yes
post-extract:
$(CP) $(FILESDIR)/login.sh $(WRKSRC)
.include <bsd.port.mk>
-----------------------
Any suggestions as to what "COMMENT variable" it wants defined ???
4) I am taking your advice & am trying to connect to the net with sysinstall so
I can download packages/ports & hopefully find an easier way to install apps.
However when I go through the steps to install a package & select a freebsd ftp
site, at the end, a prompt comes up saying something like "cannot resolve
ftp... name server, network needs to be configured..) ... or something like
that
Q: Do I need to get my broadband login client working to connect to the net OR
can I login to my ISP from a terminal within BSD ???
Q: Do I need to login to my broadband ISP via my login client to enable
"sysinstall" to be able to download packages etc ... ???
Q: Like tracert on W2000, is their a command I can use in BSD to see when I am
connected to the net ???
Kind Regards,
DK
