Please pardon their ignorance as I am new to this ballgame. 1) Silly me, I did not install the kernel sources (I guess most of the /usr/src/sys area) and now I gotta recompile the kernel. I couldn't find concise info on installing packages and I couldn't figure out what exactly I needed to swipe from the FTP site. How do I get these quite necessary parts of the directory tree onto my machine so that I can recompile? 2) Wanting to work at home and telnet to my FreeBSD box at the office thru my ISP dialup, I've dicovered that I "cannot login on terminal ttyp0". What do I need to reconfigure so that pseudo terminals can login as easily as physically connected terminals? Hopefully that is all for the moment. I appreciate your stooping to such a simple level to help a New Guy. advTHANKSance, J. Scott Northcutt -- AD4JR snorthcutt@1stresource.com
