There is no such command "xfree86", but if your system can't find kldload, something is wrong. > and > also when i typed "/boot/" it says permission denied. /boot is a directory. If you just typed "/boot/" it would obviously give you a permission error, since you're not allowed to access directories in that fashon. Try using "ls /boot" or "cd /boot" ... depending on what you're trying to accomplish. I would suggest finding a Unix beginners tutorial on the web somewhere to help get you familiarized with those commands. This one looks decent: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ There are lots of others, do a google search, then read through some of them and try out the commands they try to teach you. > did i do something > wrong? For the most part, no. You just have a bit to learn yet. Although I can't think of a good reason why the system wouldn't be able to find kldload. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
