Stop In any case, you are missing the Makefile which tells it how to install netscape, so you would want to copy it back off the cdrom in /ports/net/netscape. However, netscape is an exception since the port is out of date. Instead, go get the netscape archive yourself from netscape home (grab the i386-unknown-bsd version), extract it somewhere, and copy netscape to /usr/X11R6/bin. Then su to root and do this: cd /usr ln -s X11R6 X11 This makes a symlink from X11R6 to X11. Then run netscape. If it complains about missing keys, look in the readme and copy the nls/ directory to the indicated location. I think that covers it. Theproblem is the port is built for beta2 but b2 isn't around anymore -- it's up to beta5. > Also would like to find help in setting this machine up to be a Web server > (multi home style) with Apache. Any ideas, the documentation is unclear to me. Make the apache port (it's on the cd in /ports/networking??/apache, copy to /usr/ports and do make all install in apache's dir). Then check the web sites www.apache.org for more info. The basic config info is NCSA's, look on hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu. I'm being quite general here, if you want more / detailed info drop me a line.
