Crampton) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: FreeBSD 2.0 Date: 23 Sep 1994 21:44:02 -0400 Organization: Virginia Tech Computer Science Dept, Blacksburg, VA Lines: 22 Message-ID: <360092$7a6@csugrad.cs.vt.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: csugrad.cs.vt.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I've read the FAQ's on FreeBSD, but being new to FreeBSD and relatively new to UNIX, I'm still a little baffled. - Is FreeBSD 2.0 the current release version? The absolute latest full release? - I have DOS on this machine now. In the process of putting on FreeBSD, I understand that I boot from a floppy to get things installed from there. Are there some exact docs that tell me what to do? Is FreeBSD really hard to install? <grin> - What window managers are available? Feeble? - Is there a list that denotes ALL the archives I should get for a full FreeBSD installation? If this information is in a FAQ that I have missed, please direct me to where I can get it and all the other files necessary for an installation. Please reply via e-mail, too, thanks! ecrampto@csugrad.cs.vt.edu
