> I just got done doing a fresh install of 3.0 and had a few problems. > [These comments are from some jotted notes, and may be incomplete]: Thanks for these; it would of course have been nice to hear these back before the release, but I guess we can alway try for next time. > 1) I have an "Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+" and was trying to do an FTP > install (via a cable modem).

This is one that Jordan will have to field; it looks like something has forgotten the unit number somewhere along the way. Definitely bad. > 3) I installed the "netscape-navigator-4.07" port, and when I try to > execute it, I get the following error: > > ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXt.so.6.0" I don't think that the a.out X libraries get installed by default. (I could be wrong about this.) If there's nothing in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, then that's the problem. In that case, we'll need to provide them too. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
