I am getting the mount filesystem thing down. However I have two main concerns at this moment. First is sound cards. I have a creative live value pack pci sound card. The system doenst recognize it from the Generic kernel, which I understand. However I can't seem to find the specific command I need to either mount the sound card as a device and/or what is the specific command I should input into my own kernel. The complete freebsd mentions isa sound cards but not pci. Second is window managers. I was using kde as my desktop but it doest seem that stable, locks up easy, doesnt handle adding new packages well. I know this is likley a matter of choice, but can you folks recommend a stable windows manager that would be good for a newbie to latch onto? Last I have been told from people that I choose to difficult of a unix system to learn on and that I should switch over to linux Redhat. I dont want to, but would that be better as a Newbie. Thanks again, and I am determined not to give up:) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
