However, this file does not exist [...] What I did was use /dev/ttyd0. This should probably work for you. I have a couple of questions myself. (1) I seem to recall when I was reading install procedures that it would be better to set my clock to UTC. I can't seem to find the reference anymore. Does such a reference exist, or did I hallucinate? Why would setting the clock to UTC be beneficial? (2) Has anyone gotten authorization to work with their X server? I can't seem to find the magic incantation for xauth to add the right display to the .Xauthority file so that X will work. I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5. Thanks, -- James
