I just booted a laptop that I intend to ru FreeBSD on in Knoppix, and as you said, perfecy X setup. However, since It's booting from the CD, where would I find the X config file? Do I need to isntall Knoppix to have access to this file? If so, how do I do thta, since so far I've only figured out how to _boot_ from thier CD, not install :-) -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
