install it said the
package isn't installed and after I installled it ...it still says
the smae thing...any
ideas?...Also how do I configure my sound card...?...and
modemdo the smae
linux commands work(most of them?)...how do I see a list of
binaries I have
installed?...
Thanx a helluva lotJudSiegberta
lo
O.k., great that it worked out finally. Now it`s time to look in the
handbook. I don't know how you installed your system (CD? Network?),
which version you have chosen exactly and what you installed besides the
base system, so it could be already on your disk, but for sure it is at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
It will cover many of your questions, e.g. X, sound, modem
configuration. Look especially at chapter I.4. . There you will find how
to install applications. If your X isn't installed yet, that's the way
to go. You normally find the relevant files in /usr/ports/x11/XFree*
depending on what video card you have and if it is supported by version
3 or 4 (most modern cards need this version) of XFree86. To answer this
question have a look at:
http://www.xfree86.org/support.html
Binaries, which belong to the system, are installed in /bin /sbin
/usr/bin /usr/sbin.
Binaries, which are installed by the ports system, are installed in
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin.
Type
man hier
to get more information about the directory layout.
How to see them all at once depends on your shell. Note that the
standard FreeBSD shell is tcsh not bash, like in Linux. If you want you
can install bash out of the ports system, of course.
HTH,
Siegbert
