The only time I ever thought of searching the archives etc was if I had a specific term like search install , xwindows XSERVER , sendmail, ... I didn't think of searching for error messages at all. I am new to all this and I do try to get the answers on my own. I have the docs handbook etc ....installed and have used them.....even gone to the website to get answers ,,, I didn't mean to cause any problems I appreciate FreeBSD and these lists. I have learned quit alot as well. Enough to have landed a job as a systems operator/admin. I can get around on a UNIX system and some people even think I know what I am doing. I don't but it's sure fun learning this stuff. ;-) I am looking forward to one day be able to contribute to FreeBSD in whatever way I can. Really Thanks alot !!!!!!!!!! Thank You ! Stephen A.
