The system asks for the target file of "make" and also says there is no entry for the index. It will be greatly appreciated if some kind souls give me a detailed direction for the successful installation of the FreeBSD-2.1 and resolving the fore-mentioned problems. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration and assistance. Yours, Kazem
