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\MAN= PAGES
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
