My main PC is a multi-boot system with Win95, Win NT, FreeBSD 2.2.5, OS/2, DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.11. The reason for so many OS's is purely for compatibility. I use Win95 for 50% of stuff, FreeBSD for about 20% and the rest is between the other Os's. This FreeBSD box has two major diabilites, firstly It refuses point-blank to recognise my ATAPI CD (24x) and it also has a PCTel chipset modem which refuses to work on FreeBSD (Or anything apart from Win95 actually), So I have to manually copy files onto my DOS partition which is then mounted under FreeBSD. Due to this all the help given like 'type MAKE and it will solve all your problems' won't work as it can't find my CD-ROM or can't FTP because of my modem's Chipset....... My second FreeBSD box has a MAJOR disability, it won't run the X-Windows System due to a dodgy Graphics Card (Cyrix MediaGX, there crap) so It is pointless putting KDE on that, I can't even network them as the Cyrixx Machine only comes with ONE ISA slot which is used by a non-replaceable 28.8k Modem..... Ain't that annoying....... So I need EXACT instructions of what files I need, where to put them, what to do with them, how to get the god-damn thing to work......... I can't find a port of QT because it doesn't appear to be on my CD and I don't have the time or money to start downloading everything and anything from the net..... I am a 15-year-old, it' my parent's Phone-bill and my ISP account, you do the math...... Any Help Now...... I'll CC this to the list....... Ian O'Friel -----Original Message----- From: Mark W.
