Dear Sir,

I purchased a Walnut Creek Version 2.1.7 FreeBSD-CDROM last April, but till 
recently I got chance to install it on my PC which is equipped with a Cyrix 
P166+ CPU, two EIDE HDs(270MB and 2100MB),an NEC IDE ATAPI 6X CDROM drive, 
32MB main memory, and 512KB cache. After I installed from DOS partition, I 
have the following problems.

1. CDROM can not be configured. It is said ATAPI CDROM drive support is 
still    alpha version for ver. 2.1.7. Are there still some ways to remedy.
2. I configured XF86Config, but the system can not find the commands like    
   startx, xinit... etc. They are really in /usr/X11R6/bin. My keyboard is a 
   Windows 95 keyboard. Is the keyboard an issue?
3. I can not extract the packages from the DOS partition. There is no       
catpages files on the CDROM. I downloaded them from the website, but it      
still does not work.

With best reguard!

sincerely yours
