One way to approach this is to follow the links on http://www.freebsd.org/newbies.html to information that can help you. Also on that page you'll find the address to write to if you have further questions about the installation after reading through the instructions. Let us know if you have any comments on that page. While we can't offer help to each other directly as newbies, we like to be able to steer each other to the best sources of help. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
