Hi!
I am new to freebsd, and I recently bought the CD to learn more from it.
I have 2 questions concerning setting it up and using it, however.
1) I have a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and I am currently trying to install
FreeBSD 2.2.2. It's registering a conflict in the port address between the
keyboard and mouse device, and I can't find a way around it. I need a mouse
to use XWindows, but I can't get past this step. If it has something to do
with recompiling the system, please walk me through it. If you don't want
to walk me through it, that's fine - I will figure it out.
2) I have trouble logging on as super-user using any of the normal user
accounts I created during setup. I get an error of something like "Not in
the correct class to su root". Please help me. Also, I can't press
backspace and erase any mistakes I type when I log on as a normal user,
because it prints ^ and a character when I do so. When I log on as root,
this doesn't happen.
I appreciate your helping me. I am a beginner at UNIX and greatly
appreciate any help you guys can give me. I know my questions sound like
they come from an imbecil, but I am taking a brave new step in a new
frontier. Thank you very much for having a tech support line.
