You can't just take out a floppy in unix. See PicoBSD >5. Do I have to have XWindows to run Netscape on FreeBSD? Yes. Just like you need Windows to run Netsape in DOS. >6. Which version of Netscape should I run on FreeBSD? 4.04 from the FreeBSD ports collection. >7. Do I have to have XWindows to run WordPerfect on FreeBSD? Yes. >8. Is there any charge if I use FreeBSD in a commercial application? No. This is the very cool thing about FreeBSD. >9. Suppose I have a special graphics card.
