Booted to motd page but can`= t get to the directories. You sound as if you need to learn about the unix basics -- commands like ls, cd, more, cp, mv etc. There's a bit in the FreeBSD handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics.html but you might find the "Introduction to Unix" course from Ohio State to be more to your taste: http://wks.uts.ohio-state.edu/unix_course/intro-1.html Cheers, Matthew PS. Why are you using such an old version of FreeBSD? 2.2.8 came out in December 1998, and it's way out of any active support. Unless you have a specific need for 2.2.8 (eg. specific hardware support) I'd strongly suggest updating to an up-to-date version -- 4.10 is probably your best choice -- certainly if you're going to put that system on the public internet. --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA6p/FiD657aJF7eIRAtVFAJ9jcJS/aUxyt74NicZSzCQlAmbzcwCeJybH 2GyAXsf+IicaxiqicSQ60xo= =UTv1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq--
