A couple of months ago I put up the things I learnt from configuring my FreeBSD box on a web page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/ It deals (among other things) with configuring the CD-ROM/RW/DVD devices. > > I'm pretty sure that searching google a little bit can help you with > > UNIX basics. >=20 > there is a lot of stuff out there, i agree. making sense of it's another > story though. You might want to have a look at the Handbook that comes with FreeBSD, especially chapter 3 (UNIX basics). There are also several good books on FreeBSD available, see Appendix B of the Handbook. You can find the english version of the handbook by pointing your browser at /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html. It is also available in plain text format; /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.txt Roland --=20 R.F.
