panicking newbie with dj-plans
Hello boys and girls! I was introduced to freeBSD some time ago by a friend who then became less of a friend since an argument we had shortly after he installed the os on my computer and got me started with it. Since then I've only used the computer for basic things like downloading music, downloading more music, listening to music, drawing a bit and internetting. And now I need to use it for amateur dj-ing on thursday. Panic! I dont even know how to move files really and wouldn't know how to work with an external harddrive with other people's music files on. And most definitely I don't know if I can use http://mixxx.sourceforge.net/ and how then to install it. I'm starting to read all these newbie guides and I'm thinking of getting a hold on some books, but I need some emergency help just for now. Will someone help this confused and panicking youngster new to unix as well as BSD? Pleeease.. ^^ (I hope this list is an ok place to ask for help like this) /Linnea ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now you have a good excuse to go kiss and make up. If your friend is willing to help with your computer again do less arguing and more listening :) And now I need to use it for amateur dj-ing on thursday. Panic!
