Hi all, Perhaps I was a little hasty when I used the adjective "clean" back there. When I shutdown everything was fine but when I booted again I got an error ... it would not boot. So I told it > boot /kernel.last and up came FBSD again. All working and okay. I shall have to copy kernel.last into the boot file. I was surprised when X work first time. I am having a little trouble installing a window manager, I have tried to get Afterstep in using /stand/sysinstall but it gives me an error trying to read xpm-3.4k. I have xpm in a directory on the DOS drive from where I have been installing but installation program does not see it. I need to be able to mount the DOS drive and get at the files. It's a bit daunting to have this OS, the best in the world I'm told, like a large blank canvas and not knowing what to paint on it. I think I should set myself a few targets and work slowly towards them. For example: get the printer working, mount the DOS drive at ad0, get the ethernet link working so I can mount the modem. Anyone out there doing the same kind of stuff? Stuart.
