I am a new user of FreeBSD. I encountered some trouble to install FreeBSD. I run the XF86Setup after installing FreeFSD 3.1, after selecting the card I am using(Diamond Fire GL Pro 1000, 3DLabs Permedia2), then a message at the bottom of the screen appeared, telling me that the XF86_3DLabs is not installed, and tell me to install it first. But I am totally a new user in the Unix world, I don't really know how to install the "server" for 3DLabs, althought I found the file I want in the CD in windows98, but I can't find anywhere to install it in the installation process, can anyone tell me how to do that. And I have a couple of questions more, how to use the CDROM drive, "mount" it? but what's the ID of my CDROM,it is the master of my secondary IDE channel, I think I can install thevideo server by accessing the CDROM, right? Is the file .sh like the dos .bat file? If I can setup it, I think I will switch my working platform to FreeBSD instead of the easily halt windows, the only thing I worry is the XWindow, is it that easy to use and with a high performance. And because learning unix command is hard(at least I think), are there any command list for me to read on the internet? I am a lot of questions, really thanks for answering.
