Cool, FreeBSD in Saudi Arabia! > I tried to install it on my computer , but always the configuration of > XFree86 - X window system failed . I get the message ( ..... XFree86 > configuraion seems to have failed .....);and I tried again these days Make sure you know the specifications of your monitor. You need to know the horiontal and vertical sync rates. They'll be something like 50-150 30-85 If you don't know yours you can search for your monitor model in google or something and often find the correct specs. Or you can boot with knoppix and copy the config file to a floppy then copy it to the same place in FreeBSD. Download a mini ISO here, burn it to a cdr and it should boot just fine for you: ftp://ftp.es.debian.org/pub/miniKnoppix The config file is in /etc/X11 good luck, Tim
