I downloaded the FreeBSD SnapShot version, and installed it in my system. I later found out it's better for me to go with FreeBSD-Current :) But, I was curious as to why(and people are asking on IRC, too) they took out /stand/sysconfig in Snap shot version 3. There also some other things about it that I find challenging, but unusual! One of them was the fact that you had only 4 ttys when you first installed, and had to make 8 from doing a "/dev/MAKEDEV vty4", all the way up to vty7 and add them to /etc/ttys. I also don't know how to get rid of the devices that show up in startup that say they aren't assigned to any port address(they give the specific addresses, which I like about FreeBSD). I think FreeBSD, however is the best OS that came out of them all. If you don't understand error messages then don't use Unix! :) Even though I am going to install the current version, I am curious as to what changed! Thanks and please reply to as much as these questions, as I also see these issues related on IRC(mostly concerning the FreeBSD2.2 and up). :) P.S. Btw, is FreeBSD Posix compliant?
