I have just purchased the FreeBSD CD (the new version 2.0) from walnut creek and I have a couple of questions on the installation. I am new to FreeBSD so these will probably be trivial questions for you. 1. I installed the X library (XFree86) but it wont start because it can't find the mouse driver. I used the default /dev/mouse. I am using a Microsoft commmpatable mouse on COM1. I assume that I have to create this device but I don't know how. 2. I have an SMC Ethernet card. How do I install it? I have no other devices in my machine. I tried sticjing it in and on boot-up it gave me a few address conflict messages. 3. Does FreeBSD support streams as in SVR4.2? Thanks for your assistance and for a great UNIX system!! Jay O'Brien ocgrp@aol.com
