You have to tell amd what devices to automount and where by creating a proper amd.conf file. See the amd.conf(5) manual page: $ man 5 amd.conf > 1) Trying to search for a file I get the error: > > 127# locate mysql > locate: database too small: /var/db/locate.database Your 'locate' database is out of date or is empty. Try logging in as root and manually firing up the script that periodically updates it: # /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate Then you'll be able to use "locate" as expected. This should have already run if you kept your machine up at least a week, but you probably haven't so run it manually ;-) > 2) I deleted the installed package xfce4, then added it again but xfce4 still > won't start.

Have you gotten your FreeBSD workstation to connect to the network yet? If yes, you can install `portupgrade' and use it to update all your packages/ports to their latest versions. This is probably not why xfce doesn't work though. The sysutils/xfce4-utils package installs a command called "startxfce4". AFAIK, this is the program that fires up xfce. When you install that package (as part of the dependency list of xfce4) you should be able to use xfce4 as your desktop by editing your ~/.xinitrc file and making sure that the last command it runs is: exec startxfce4 If the .xinitrc script already contains other 'exec' commands, for instance to start Windowmaker, like this one: $ cat -n .xinitrc | tail -2 49 50 exec wmaker you might want to comment out or delete those to make sure they don't stop startxfce4 from running. > 3)I am trying to install Apachetoolbox-1.5.70(it may well be a > BigApache for BSD :)) - but I get the errors "Command not found" > trying to run it: > > 127# pwd > /usr/ports/distfiles/Apachetoolbox-1.5.70 > 127# ls > CHANGE MIRROR bin etc src > INSTALL README contrib install.sh > 127# ./install. sh > ./install.: Command not found. > 127# ./install sh > ./install: Command not found. > 127# ./install > ./install: Command not found. This is not the proper way to install ports or packages in FreeBSD.

Yes, read the Handbook for instructions on installing ports/packages :/ - Giorgos
