FreeBSD 6.0 - install critiques - install issues

2006-01-24 Thread F. Even - fbsd-questions
OK...I've been running FreeBSD since 4.0...and I've always noticed installation issues here and there. Mostly though, I've always been good to go after a good dry run (which I always recommend to everyone I recommend FreeBSD to) and usually on a 2nd run all the options are fine. I've pretty

2003-11-07 Thread F. Even
I am running a FreeBSD 4.0 box. I had never updated the ports collection, so it just kind of stopped working over time. This last week, I got sick of installing some things by src, so I wiped out the ports collection, and did a cvsup to create a new, modern, up to date ports collection. I
