I am new to FreeBSD and to UNIX in general. Browsing my 3.0-RELEASE CD, I evaluate packages (X11-fm, file managers). I list the packages and the problems: asfiles - how do I run it? explorer - hardly no functions are working. Not implemented? jafm - generates lots of windows after browsing for a while, eh? offix-files - how do I run it? q3dmenu - beatiful but not useful, eh? workplace - starts sometimes, but crashes every now and then with the "** ERROR **: sigsegv caught" message. xfm - works OK, but maybe a bit too simple for my taste. Any alternatives? Another question is about StarOffice 3. 1 (also on the CD-ROM): Typing 'swriter' at the prompt, I only get the following message: Trying to initiate User Install required before swriter3 can be run, please wait... /usr/local/bin/swriter3: /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/setup: not found Can't find initialisation script /root/.sd.sh, User Install must be completed before swriter3 can be run. Any ideas about this error? A general question about packages: And how do I find out where they are installed and which command to use to run them? (It isn't always mentioned in the info given by pkg_info.) I would appreciate a CC to kuuse@quik.guate.com as I'm not subscribing to the list at the moment.
