My names Josh, I recently installed Freebsd 3.4 Release on my computer. I downloaded everything from the ftp site and and installed it through a dos partition. After installing FreeBSD i tried to install the ports. That didn't want to install because it said that it wasn't found on the dos partition, but it's there because I see it everytime I am in windows. How can I get the ports to install? Also I have another much more important question. I tried to configure the XFree86 and it seems that it will not be configured right. I tried to run the XF86Setup but it would not work. Everytime i tried to run startx to see if it would work i would get the message "(errno2)" what can I do to solve this problem? I live in Grand Rapids Michigan and it seems that there are not many people here that know about how to configure Xwindows or that even know what UNIX is. I would appreciate all the help that you could give me. Thank you for your time. Josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
