--------------0F32576DF6C14CF1BC33AFE0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear people, I have installed for the first time FreeBSD on a pc where also Linux runs, und I use the Linux Loader to boot FreeBSD. In Linux there exists a configuration file (lilo.conf) where one can choose out of possibly many kernels with which one, one wishes to boot Linux. In this file I simply name until now the partition(slice) on which FreeBSD is installed and all the rest happens by itself. Of course I read that the FreeBSD loader can support mohr than one kernel versions, what happens but if I don't boot with BTX? I just wanted to try a new configuration of the kernel! Another question I'd like to pose: I have installed gnome and I start it with enlightenment & exec gnome-session in my initrc file. I'm afraid I don't start it right because not the full functionality of the graphical interface is there and I permanently get the error (by starting) that another window manager runs already, though with ps only enlightenment is present. Any suggestions?
