I just installed the 'bin' diskset onto a P5/75 w/32MB Ram on a Zappa ED motherboard. I can login in single user mode and mount my fs by running fstab. This allows me to have read/write access. My question is. How do I get the necessary libraries? Also, where is vi and some of the other normal utilities for Unix. What's the FreeBSD syntax for mounting a floppy? Basically, what's the fstype used? How do I install packages? proflib.aa-ad I tried using the config program, but it just says that it can't read the disk, that I don't have all the files. Are there more? This is a test server and will serve as such for testing scriupts and such, then migrated to another similar machine to go onto the Internet, providing I get the damn thing configured and running properly. I'd like to install someother packages, like tcsh, gzip, etc. But haven't a clue how FreeBSD mounts floppies, installs packages. I have no libraries, compilers, nada and don't have a clue right now about how to install them. Getting them isn't a problem except for the libraries. Don't see any that seem appropriate, except the Xfree86 stuff which I also need to install. Once I get all this done, I'll setup sup to keep current. I desperately need some help here to get me over this learning curve. If it's any constellation, I do know Unix, i.e. Linux, SunOS and SystemV, so my learning curve isn't going to be that steep, just need a few nudges. Would appreciate all the help I can get right now.
