How do i get to this >operating system?, and not just the "$" prompt??? Welcome to UNIX. The shots you saw were of XFree86, a X-Windows system that provides a GUI. You would need to install and configure it. Run /stand/sysinstall and do a post-install configuration and install XFree86. Refer to the handbook at www.freebsd.org and the info at www.xfree86.org as well for more information on installation and configuration. > > Thank You for your Time in reading this, and I look forward to your answer... It would be easier to read and you'd be more likely to get an answer if you used a better mailer. -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
