Dear friends,
First, Please forgive me if this is not the place to question about my
problem. I just have installed freeBSD for the first time. I have been in
Linux for several time, so i am not completely blind about un*x variant
OSes.
Second, The problem is :
1) Is it true that there is indicator meter that shows you how much in size
for packages
you have selected before installing them ? To prevent the possibility
selecting packages
with size > total space available ?
2) I see that many of basic / most needed utils like X window and WM is not
dependable,
and we have to config everything manually. Is this true ? Under linux
distribution
though they are not doing 100 % for us, but they simplify things by using
default script
3) I don't want to install all sources, but kernel only. How much space i
need for installing
kernel sources and under which package name ? I need to build my own
kernel.
4) When I want to mount_ext2fs, it said ext2 filesystem not available. What
does it mean ?
Third, I am using K6/200, 32 Megs and 2.2.6 FreeBSD 4 CDset
Please forgive me if what i ask already on the FAQ and HandBook.. I read
most of them, but I might miss them.
Thank you
Regards,
Leonard Ong
