Greets all,
After much poring over of the FAQ file and the Handbook on the web
site, I find that I still have the following questions. 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,
