Hello,

I bought freeBSD 2.0 form Walnut Creek and it works fine, but
I have some questions. 
I have a 486/66 vesa local bus with 1 Gb HD, 16 Mb ram and a 4 
speed Mitsumi CD with its own card.

1) Why FreeBSD doesn't recognise my CD ?
2) in XFree86 how can you set the "click and paste" feature for 
the mouse ?
3) Although it is advertise on the cover, I didn't find LaTex in 
the packages.
4) On the cover of the box the date is January 1995 but on the CD 
it is January 1994 ?
5) How can you use the Xfree fonts ( and there is a lot ) with 
ghostscript ?
6) When I go in FreeBSD from dos without reseting I have pbs 
mounting the dos partition ( lots of cryptic kernel messages ).
7) Does FreeBSD support a king of multithreading ? 

Thanks,

Jerome Christatos
