> Deep DISSAPOINTMENT regarding the FreeBSD 3.0 Release from Walnut Creek:

If you've actually got 3.0-RELEASE on CD then I encourage you to read
the RELEASE.TXT file which is very explicit about the target audience
that version was intended for.  It is obsolete now.

You probably really want 3.1-RELEASE or later.  Even so, 3.0-RELEASE was
quite serviceable for its intended uses.

You are mistaken.  Please try covering the material in the handbook
at http://www.freebsd.org again. If you continue to have problems
then feel free to email me directly.

Good Luck,
