The purpose being to use it as a file server bridge between two Win95/NT subnets. I ended up with one hardrive running Win95 and one running BSD(finaly), and a boot manager that works. NOW I am trying to get samba to run. right. When I follow the instructions in the book; cd /usr/ports/net/samba make install it waits for a little while then tries to get about 10 ftp sites and then prints lots of errors. ok, i installed the ports collection - i can see the Makefile there - it just wont WORK! when I try to directly install from the cd by going to /cdrom with the CD in the drive, there is nothing there ls = zilch. fellow newbies; WHAT AM I DOING WRONG THIS TIME!!!!! greg kinney ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
