Hi, I've been running Linux for about two years, and recently decided to give FreeBSD a try. So far, the experience has been under-whelming! Several questions have resulted from my failed attempts to get a working installation; at least one that is successful in installing the app's I've requested thru sysinstall. The initial install (CD) failed with the proc filesystem getting filled, and then the remaining app's selected failed to install. However, they remain "installed" as far as pkg_add is concerned, so now that I have a working system I still can't go back and install them. How do I get out of this catch-22? Plus, can someone explain why nearly half of the packages in /All are not really there? Is this a problem for me because my CD is an ATAPI? Whether I try it thru sysinstall or pkg_add about half of them fail! Another annoying problem for me is how do I get bash as my login shell? I've put /usr/local/bin/bash as my shell in /etc/passwd, but it still doesn't come up that way when I login! Paul
