It is perfectly possible. Depending on what you want to do exactly you will need a base system + samba installed. I'd suggest you go to http://www.freebsd.org and check at the very least the links under "Documentation". A good start would be learning how to install the system and then get it done, there is nothing like a hands-on approach. > spence in texas > Manuel Garcia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
