It went ok. I did not install xf86 like the book suggested. Now I went to chapter 7 and want to install ports but could not make it work (make was asking to fitch some files) I installed all the ports cd /usr then tar xzvf /cdrom/ports/ports.tgz. I could make readmes. When I wanted to make ports using make and make install. 2- When trying to add package emacs-20.tgz it said unable to open table of contents. 3- when I went to chapter 7 no luck at all. First there is no dists on the disk there is /cdrom/xf86332/servers and when I ran it it said wrong zip format. 4-when doing mformat A: it said not files. I really like to get help and add me to your list. But please let me know what is going on.
