Dear Sir/Madam,
I am striking a difficulty when attempting to
make a dial up PPP connection. 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.
