Re: Can I Make my own CD ROM bootable from this ftp server: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.1-RELEASE ?

Re: I can not decide because of an old notebook. Need Help

If you want it easy, go to Distrowatch.com and select one of the live CDs there. You should try out FreeSBIE, Frenzy, Damn Small Linux, and Vector Linux. First two are FreeBSD based while the last two are linux-based. You can run them as a live CD or use them as installers. --- Stojance [EMAIL

Re: newbee to freebsd, unix, etc...

Hi Charlie, I am presently trying to teach myself FreeBSD too and the best HOWTO/Tutorial/Book out there for guys like us are, in my opinion, the FreeBSD Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/) and Greg Lehey's The Complete FreeBSD

Experiencing problems with Ted

Hi all, I just installed Ted (2.17) on my FreeBSD 6.1-Release from the ports using make install clean. I experienced no issues on the installation process and have no problems starting the program but whenever I try to change page properties (File--Properties) Ted keeps exiting abruptly. It
