(for one of them anyway) where are the devices? i certainly cant find them! and i cant recompile the kernal, inserting them, cause i cant find the kernel source on the location specified in the book!!! i TOLD the install wizard to install all of the /src but apparently it descided not to! anyway - i am 4 more hours into an instilation that is about 12 hours old and STILL CANT FIND AN IP ADDRESS!!! thanks all 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
