My name is Chris Thain and just recently I installed the 2.2.6-Release of FreeBSD. I have to tell you that I am extreamly happy with my new operating system. I really like all the features that FreeBSD has (well all the ones that I have played with so far :) It is a very powerful and useful operating system. I have a couple of questions regarding accessing files via. my CDROM drive and my 3 1/2" floppy drive. I have looked through most of the topics on in the Handbook at www.freebsd.org and but I was unsucessful in finding how to access the devices. If you could email me back a breif description on how to access files on these drives or send me information on where I can find help for this I would greatly appreciate it. I have also had trouble with setting up a User PPP connection. I have read all through the Handbook and I think that I have all the configurations for the connection set up correctly but each time I use the "dial" command in PPP ti says: "Error: OpenModem failed: /dev/cuaa1: Device not configued" Again if you could send me information on how to configure my modem or send me information on where I can get help for this porgram I would greatly appreciate it. Thank-you very much for your Spectacular operating system and for your time! Chris Thain.
