As you progress during the install continue to read the instructions/ help files. Note, that the cd doesn't have the des encryption stuff, so you can't install that, even though it is in the install options. Also, to install xfree86-3.1 you will want to run the extract.sh script from in the XFree86-3.1 directory by hand, because it doesn't work correctly in this version of the release. Gee that doesn't seem to hard.. Steve PS: As far as installation systems go, freebsd's install isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. I personally found the Linux slackware 2.1 MUCH more annoying than the freebsd one mostly because you can't tell it to just install everything without worrying it will overwrite somthing you need, and answering all those damn questions is time consuming. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Jorgensen | Khoral Research Inc. steve@khoros.unm.edu | 6001 Indian School, Suite 200 (505) 837-6500 | Albuquerque, NM 87110 ------------------------+------------------------------------ This Space for Rent. | URL: http://www.khoros.unm.edu/ -------------------------------------------------------------
