Installing x11
Hello, After reading freeBSD's handbook on installing x11, I have some simple questions. I'm running 5.2.1 and wish to get xorg running. /usr/ports/x11/xorg does not exist. pkg_add -r xorg Just tells me that the file cannot be found. I've tried to upgrade to a newer version that comes with x11, but everytime I chose Upgrade I can never find a passive FTP server that has 5.2.1/release available. From my position, what is the easiest way to get xorg running (not XFree86)?

FreeBsd , I REALLY need some help :-)
Hi, I'm trying to install freebsd on an old i486 (75mhz) with 40mb ram I have two harddrives 260 and 349mb. I am booting with the kern and mfsroot floppies. I can get everything right and working following the documentation on the site up to making the root,swap,...etc. But when I finish this and the installation begins I get an error about no such device or media. It appears that the program can't find my cd-rom drive. It is a rather old 24x mitsumi cd-rom drive and it is set as slave to the primary harddrive. I cannot find a solution on this site. What should I do,where do I begin. Have you got any other suggestion considering my pc. By the way what kind of userinterface will I get with a minimum install??

RE: Hi Quick question
Try ls | less Nic Eric Murphy Is there a command to browse files by pages? When ever I ls in a big dir, I can't shift page up for some reason. This is very annoying =( ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe it is because when freebsd boots up it didnt see a valid partition on the drive so it was not configured at boot time. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
