Reply-to: junkmale@xtra.co.nz X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01b) Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Is anyone else finding it difficult to find information? For example, I went to install apache today. I had to search the mailing list archives to find a list of steps to follow in order to install it. That's great! But then apache reports that I must have DES first. Not a problem. But I've just spend two hours trying to find instructions on how to install DES. I've found nothing. It's so frustrating! I can't be the only one that finds this difficult to the extreme of frustration. I can follow instructions. If only the instructions are there to be found. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I'm off for a bike ride. This is too much. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
