I have a basic install completed but can't seem to do anything with the system now. I boot it up, maybe display some files with the ls command or start X with xinit. What I would really like is to get my network adapter configured & talk with the rest of my lan. I would also like to launch a Netscape session. It would be really nice to get Apache running. I can find all kinds of info for installing FreeBSD, but nothing when it comes to setting up and launching applications. Can you give me some pointers?
