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.
