I know you've heard it a lot recently, but wow! You guys have done a great job
of making the installation a lot easier. Once I figured out that I had to turn
off the PnP features of my Network card, it was a snap to install over the Net.

Thanks to everyone involved.

I've got a couple of quick questions:

1) I selected emacs for installation during the initial process. I also
selected the development option (I think there was one). When I tried running
emacs, it complained that it couldn't find libgcc.261.0.so or something like
that. I couldn't find that library anywhere. I don't know if I missed a package
or what. I ended up just rebuilding 19.34. I thought there might be a problem
though. <shrug>

2) I've successfully configured my FreeBSD machine as an NIS client. I can
successfully query our SGI Master NIS server, but there seems to be some weird
behavior. First of all, I can't seem to get netgroup access control to work in
the hosts.equiv file. Does that not work yet or was I probably missing
something? Also, I have yet to be able to get NIS-based logins to work at the
console (I can rlogin as myself, but can't rlogin as someone else either). I
realize that is probably a pretty basic question, but I'm out of ideas on the
matter. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

3) I realize this isn't FreeBSD-specific, but maybe someone has experience with
the default settings in the package: Should the Apache Server support cgi-bin
scripts out of the box? The default conf files have ScriptAlias set up properly
and all that, but I just couldn't get cgi-bin scripts to work until I put a
link to /usr/local/www/cgi-bin from /usr/local/www/data/ and enabled ExecCGI
for that directory. Any thoughts on that one?

In any case, thanks again and congratulations. Please send any responses,
chiding, suggestions, etc. by e-mail.

Brian
