There's was someone in staten is. who was posting in the newbie list seemed to know alot and appeared to be willing to teach, if we had a meeting I would want the theme FreeBSD installation. I've read tons of stuff on the web. It's still not making sense to me what is going on w/the: partioning, disk labeling - say what? (no one''s explaining what this is ), slices, (vs partitions, waht's the difference - i'd really like to know_ mounting points - what's this? how files (eg. \ ) are mounted to the partitions ( or is it slices ), why?, how, when ect....... All the tutorials assume unix sysadmin knowledge - that's a stone cold fact. Now, the speaker and menber at a linux meeting i went to, knows alot about freebsd, so i'm gonna try emailing him as well posting to the questions group again - it's still not clear to me what is going on w/the partitioning.
