Please someone please guide me on what to > do, Im an absolute newbie to FreeBSD. Here's how it works for me with FreeBSD 4.4 RELEASE. After running /stand/sysinstall as root, go down to Configure Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD and press the SPACEBAR to get the next screen. (Note that you should use the SPACEBAR to select in these menus. Accidental use of the enter key can give unexpected navigation results.) Go down to Distributions Install additional distribution sets and press the SPACEBAR. Now go down to [ ] src Sources for everything and hit SPACEBAR on it. In the next screen, use the SPACEBAR to select [ ] sys /usr/src/sys (FreeBSD kernel) then press TAB to highlight "OK", and press ENTER. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
