Well I've moved over from Linux and I have a few questions. 1) the /stand/sysinstall file won't run now that the system is installed, I get a incorrect media type error? Is there a way to fix this. I would like to be able to run this so that I can add stuff to the system without d/l everything by hand 2) This is silly but I kind of miss the color menus from Linux- is this availible fro FreeBSD? 3) I d/l the sys source and I have a lot more than I expected, do I nedd the src for anything except /sys/i386 to rebuild the kernel? 4) Is there a simple terminal program like Minicom for FreeBSD? The PPP term is not that great IMHO and seyom is a pain. Thanks for any help you can provide- Jeremy
