Lloyd,
When I was learning to install and configure FreeBSD for the first
year or so I always defaulted to using /stand/sysinstall. This allows
you to configure your input devices (mouse and keyboard), video card,
and choose the desktop you would like to use (Gnome/KDE).
If you are using a
One other thing you can do besides /stand/sysinstall is to use XFree86
-configure.
After you boot simply type the above command. After that command is
finished it will prompt you with another command to test the
configuration. Simply type the command shown on the screen and you
should see an X
I am pretty sure the only way to do this is to have a FAT32 partition.
I have not done this on FreeBSD but while playing with Xandros Linux
I was able to get read/write access using a FAT partition.

I have been playing with Linux and BSD for about 3 years. I have
landed on the following.
1. FreeBSD is great for non-cluster server install bases.
2. FreeBSD is great for a workstation if you really really like
compiling and hand editing config files.
3. Linux is best for a workstation desktop
Did you try fsck -y?

Hey everyone,
I booted my system up and it gets an error and goes into single user mode I
think. It gives me a /bin/sh question. So, I press enter.
I run the command fsck

I have tried the following on earlier version of BSD. I had a
specific need for MP3 jukebox features.
Juk with KDE
Net-Rhythm Jukebox (currently broken)
Juk was functional and did a good job at organizing my small mp3 collection.

You can do a simple dd command to read the entire disk. If bad sectors
are found during the dd you should see ATA error messages spewing to
the console and written in /var/log/messages.

Hi,
I have one harddisk installed
Tom's Hardware wrote a good how-to on this for Linux. I am assuming
the tool to convert outlook to evolution is in ports. If not you can
install linux, savi the .pst file to a network share, then install BSD
with evoltion and away you go.
I would like to be able to do the following
1. Create a / partition of x size
2. Create a swap partition of x size
3. Create a /usr partition of x size
4. Create a ufs partition of the rest of the disk but it is not mounted at boot.
What I have thus far is:
# label disk 1
# IDE
ad0s2-1=ufs
an installation package that sets
noauto for the label.

Anyone know how to make /usr100 not mounted at boot time?
Edit /etc/fstab and add the 'noauto' flag to the appropriate line
