Hi All,
Presently, I have FreeBSD installed and happily coesisting with DOS.
(Hats off th the FreeBSD team!) But I still have a couple of questions.
1. I installed using the floppies dated 9/13/93. Is there any thing
differnt on the 9/16/93 floppies that I need? e.g. newer kernel.
2. I've installed several of the packages. (Easy as pie.) but I don't
recognize all of the package prefixes. While emacs-19-19 it obvious.
What are these packages: sup_*, info_*, jed_*, gic_*, vim_*?
Thanks, Adrian
