Prasad, I'm glad to see that you have taken an interest in FreeBSD. Unfortunately the -CURRENT branch is a development branch. This means it it known to have many many bugs and is garaunteed not to be stable for everyday use. As an example, I installed the -CURRENT software two days ago and have had crashes every few hours! This branch is to help develop the next release of FreeBSD. I would recommend you install the -STABLE branch (the most stanble) or -RELEASE (fairly stable with the probability of a few bugs here and there). Instructions for this and a lot of other good documentation on getting started with FreeBSD can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook I hope this help Avleen Vig US, originally UK, nativally India also :P On Tue, 25 Jun 2002, Prasad Iyer wrote: > Sir, > I have recently downloaded freebsd Current Version.
