When I get to the stage of having to ALT-F3 to VTY3 session I do so and am met with the error messafe "Can't create /var/run/tun0.pid. No such file or directory. At an earlier point in the Novice install procedure I specify A(uto) to set up the /var and other "slices"?? Is this a cause of the problem. Also it appears when I Esc from my Novice install without completing I am told that the hostname 'ftp.freebsd.org' cannot be resolved. I would like to know if the Host in the FTP setup screen is "ftp.freebsd.org" i.e. primary site or "aone.net.au" my ISP. Could you clarify this for me. IP Shears PS: I believe any loose connections to my modem would not be apparent or influential at this point as I have not dialed out with AT commands. I have been using COM2 ppp0 choice.
