Hallo FreeBSD-Advocacy,
i write to you this mail hoping i find a solution on how i can use
this program which i've heard many individuals saying it has no
competitor on the market. well, sometime ago, i designed a plan to
open up a small VoIP project and i contacted one Interxchange company
who told me that i'd to install FreeBSD OS. without wasting time, i
downloaded the latest FreeBSD 6.2-i386. i even went to much extent by
ordering some two CDs from UK but then the major catastrophe faced me
on how the program works. after installation and also making a user
account i logged in but there was a message telling me to check for
newer errata files. i'm confused because first i can't see a desktop
despite me seeing how the desktop looks like at
[1]http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major
what should i do and why are this endless errata messages coming my
way? how am i going to be able to see the desktop and work with the
program? how am i going to be able to install any other program on my
pc? do u've any solution to all these obstacles?
thanks alot with regards.

It seems like you have a huge misunderstanding of what an OS is.
What are you trying to do? You said you are "opening up a small VoIP
project", so do you know what specific program that you need for your
project?

Also, "yahya wafula" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, a better mail list to ask
newcomer questions is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/freebsd-questions.html
whereas this list
freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org
is for use of those planning advocacy campaigns, strategy , media etc.
Here's a list of mail lists
http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/
I suggest a good Long browse starting at top of
http://www.freebsd.org/
which should at least tell you what FreeBSD is.
Oh & http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html
