[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi There, I just got into FREEBSD and so far I am amazed at the result of your operating system. I am DOS and Windows (3.11, 95, NT) guru, but when it comes to Unix - I am still in my nappies - so to say. So far I have two problems. Number one I have installed FREEBSD (2.2.6) and I am trying to add the other items by saying /stand/systeminstall after login - it goes into the SETUP, and when I try to install from a DOS Partition it says it can't find the MANPAGES or DOC, etc. I have put it in like this : C:\FREEBSD\BIN C:\FREEBSD\DOC C:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES ETC. What have I done wrong? The second problem is I am having tremendous difficulty to mount my SCSI CD-ROM drive. I type in <mount /dev/cd0 /cdrom> but that doesn't work. Is there another type of command that I must use in order to set up my cdrom drive. Oh and one more thing, how do I add a user? If you could help me in this I would be most grateful. I have set a goal for myself that by the end of the year I wan't to be very proficient at Unix (essentialy I would like to help in the further development of FREEBSD). Many Thanks, Quintin Roux [-- Attachment #2 --] <html><head></head><BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p><font size=2 color="#000000" face="Arial">Hi There,<br><br>I just got into FREEBSD and so far I am amazed at the result of your operating system.<br><br>I am DOS and Windows (3.11, 95, NT) guru, but when it comes to Unix - I am still in my nappies - so to say.<br><br>So far I have two problems.
