For exampel : i can't find any doc that says how to bring up your ethernet card ?! Nor how to set the IP, route and netmask etc etc I see these thing like vital things ... Can't you put up a "step by step" thing ?! Like first you learn the commands; syntax, why using them etc etc and then exampels on how to use the commands... My biggest problem is that i can't get my NIC to work And i think this is the most important on a freebsd machine ?! In the begging of the installation i walked through the "kernel settings" (almost the beginning of the inst.) where I could choose NIC and set the port of the NIC .... I was never able to get back to that setting-page so I had to reinstall over and over and over again .... That's all .... (i'm a really newbie to unix ... i know :)) /schilling To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
