I am a very newbie to FreeBSD, and UNIX in general. I hope you do not mind me asking very simple questions. I suppose, that due to the three I have now, I can deal with them in a single post. First. How can I use my Ethernet card to configure an asdl connection? I have spent a good deal of time in KDE looking for some way and I simply do not find it. Second, my computer has a burner and a DVD, and the installation program spotted both all right, and I can mount them all right and everything is fine there. Problem is, the floppy is missing, nowhere to be found. And thirdly, can I use Linux packages in FreeBSD, and how do I install them? I have no sound, but that seems to me a more elaborate question I will deal with separately. Thanks to all those who can give a hand. Teilhard Knight The Extraterrestrial Who ate my sandwich?
