Hi Doug, >> Okey, so I should completely forget my knowledge about Linux >> during the installation? ;) > > Maybe. It depends on how stuck you get, if you get stuck :) Well, after a couple of attemps I got through the installation. But I have a couple of questions. Where is your shell defined? I've checked both the passwd and the master.passwd file, but it doesn't seem to make a difference what the shell statements are here? Another thing, I have configured my XFree96 exactly the same way as I did with the latest slackware, but when I try to run 'startx' it starts up the server and the screen goes blank - and the machine restarts? I am using a Pentium Pro with a Matrox Millenium 2 mb. Any suggestions? A last thing, when I am using the /stand/sysinstall program to install packages, I run into a problem, since I am installing from an msdos partition I only have 8.3 filenames, and the installation program is expecting long filenames, and it therefore can't install. Is there anyway of 'cheating' the program or do I have to install everything manually? > Certainly, let us know at questions@freebsd.org.
