Hello --
I am not sure if this is the right place to send this, but here goes:
I have installed FreeBSD on my Pentium, (Gateway2000 P5-90, STB PCI
Video, Buslogic SCSI controller, PCI IDE controller on mthrbrd)
but have run into a few interesting problems (concerns). I am an
experienced UNIX user, but not a system manager!!
(I have completed the bindist install)
(I am installing from the Walnut Creek CD)
1) There is no 'adduser' or 'useradd' functions. How do I create new
accounts? Maybe this has something to do with my mount points:
'/'
'/usr'
Do I require a '/usr/users' mount point?
2) My dos partition does not show up. I called it '/dostmp'. Does it have
to be called '/dos'? This dos partition, does NOT contain DOS, just a DOS
file system. DOS is located on a IDE drive which I disable when I want to
boot FreeBSD (since it is the C drive)
3) When I try to install XFree86-3.1 from CD, it does the checksum
verification, but when it says 'unpacking XFree86-3.1 distribution' it
just hangs...hmmm
4) If I want to install X now without installing everything else, I use
the /sbin/sysinstall script, but when it comes up, none of the mount
points are known (disklabel)... Have I done something incorrectly?
Thanks for the help,
Paul
