I have just put on FreeBSD from a CDROM installation. The problem I am having is that I can't get startx to run. I don't know how to make the symbollic links. I have tried all evening to run /stand/sysinstall and when it asks if I want it to make the link I answer YES and then tell it no for the first location but yes to the second. Also, how to you get the mailer to send mail to the outside world. We are connected to the Internet via Ethernet. I can ftp and even http but I can't send mail for some reason. I have tried Pine and Elm but nothing seems to work. Well, thanks for reading this and for any advice which someone might be able to help me with. Our URL is http://www.cybertouch.com Lanny
