A few things: 1) Learn to hit enter every 72 chars or so. 2) it's kernel, not kernal 3) it's FreeBSD, not Free BSD. 4) FreeBSD is an Unix descendant, and Unix is not similar to DOS or Windows, although you can use some DOS and Windows software under FreeBSD, it is not meant to do so. 5) This is the documentation effort mailinglist, not the ask questions, get answers list. I cc:'d this email to that list. -On [19991118 22:19], Dipen Shah (kamdip@cetlink.net) wrote: >I purchased Free BSD 4 cd set in amazon.com acutions. According to >instructions on the cd cover.
