[-- Attachment #1 --] I purchased the FreeBSD 2-cd set a year or so ago and it has worked fine with one exception: When I install ports into /usr/ports they don't actually run. I just get a directory with the same name as the port I was trying to install with sub-directories like CVS, pkg, files and the like. I have tried to MAKE the program, but I always get the message that the file is up to date. I have also been unable to get the Boot Manager to activate when I install it from a Windows 95-based system. Any suggestions? Please respond to this address as I am not subscribed to any FreeBSD mailing lists at this time.
