Hello,

The FreeBSD ports system is a far better way of doing this.

are your own problem

This is because you guys make it so complicated to operate that when an
UNIX newbie wants to use your product (which is a good thing)he usually
backs away when he sees very complicated stuffs and
='mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /usr/mnt/cdrom; cd /usr/mnt/cdrom; ls;'
Now type 'cdrom' and see what happens.
There is a better way, but it doesn't involve changing the system. It involves
engaging your brain to solve problems constructively. It is as easy or difficult
as you want it to be.
