I need a mentor please. Are there any people out there willing to help. a few months back, I was given the freebsd disks as a gift from a gentleman i met through happenstance. I am becoming a bit frustrated now that I wish to install packages like ntop that has dependencies upon dependencies or packages in the /usr/ports/graphics directory, such as gd, when ntop is looking for gd1 directory ...argh....... I am using freebsd 5.0. I do not have any programming or compiling experience, past what i have done, ps, i have actually installed packages using the pkg_add -r commands. for an M$ guy that knows nothing, it was a feat!!!! i pretty please need someone who can explain the concept of this OS. ie how things work, and has experience in helping complete dunces like myself. thanking you with this regard. once again, you guys are all great from my last set of questions way back in january....... yours sincerely adam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
