Any suggestions? a really simple answer is to get the book by greg lehey "teh complete freebsd, 2nd edition". i used this resource as my guide to setting things up, greg sets out in chapeters 19 to end the things you need to do to get what you have described up and trotting .. after that, well, hard earned experience and asking questions in freebsd-questions and other such places. please note, teh relevent chapters in cfbsd, are not a step by step tutorial, rather a how to in teh linux sence of the 'how-to' concept. best wish for christmass and new year. regards jonathan -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia =========================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
