I just loaded FreeBSD Version 2.0
I loaded just the bindist and man packages.
I have the following questions:
1) I am not able to mount my dos partition, even though it shows up as
/sd0e on the fdisk program. What is the proper command to mount
this partition.
2) I created one user during the install process. I tried to run
VI and i get the following message "log db: Permission denied"
Is this a permission problem with the VI program or my data file?
Is it trying to create a temp file and cannot?
The user has read/write/execute permission to his /home/ directory.
3) When I type in "mount" am i supposed to see my swap file as a
filesystem? How do I know if i have a swap partition (other than
seeing it during the install)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if I load Xfree do I need to unzip it before the install or will
that be done automatically.
Thanks,
