1. next ques. is again connectivity. the other box in my little ethernet is
a winnt4.0 workstation box. what's the simplest way to get the FreeBSD
server and the nt client - mapping drives, dragging and dropping files ect
via ethernet. Is Samba the ticket?
2. when i installed ( sysinstall ), i said the box was not a leaf node, but
actually it is - i have no gateways right now, i have just two pcs - local
nodes. Is this leaf node setting any big deal? What exactly - what services
are affected w/this setting.
3. the packages/ports, there are so many of them, is there any descriptive
reference, that can give me info on what they are, maybe recommendations?
4. Durring the install i got an error message or two:
Adding of package XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3 aborted , error code 1.
Loading of dependent package XFree86 aoutlibs-3.3.3 failed
Any thing i should loose beauty-sleep over?
Thanks
