I actually have not even made it past the installation program. I can enter it and get to the part where you make a freeBSD partition. When I make it, it has no room. It is a zero meg slice. I can't figure it out. I am sure I will have further questions after I begin to use it, but for now, could you just give me a couple hints on the install part. when I finish, it says that no root partition was made...something like that...and there was not one for swap. what does that mean? then it will say installation is complete with a few errors, and it puts me back at the screen where you choose the type of installation you wish to do. is it suppose to do this? how do I begin to use my x-windows? well. thank you for your time. sincerely, jason(s0n1c) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
