when I startx, my usb and touchpad mouse are no longer found. The
mouse works in terminal mode, and hald and dbus are started in
/etc/rc.conf.
I rebuilt x11, but that had no effect, any ideas on what I might
do to get the

I have a two disk system, and I'm trying to install FBSD6.2 on slice 2

I'm using the Standard installation, select the second disk (ad1)

What is the fix/search term for 6-release??

I'm trying to install RELEASE6 on a BSD machine, and the
install fails in the mergemaster stage with:
mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BIND.chroot.dist -p
/var/tmp/temproot/var/named
./dev missing (created)
./etc missing (created)
./etc/namedb missing (created)

Thanks, my understanding was mergemaster before installworld.
But that appears to be wrong.

Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-stable under VMware Workstation 5.
When I run date it replys Sat May 6 09:19:53 EDT 2000
Now everything is ok except it's Fri 2005. When I check the
clock on the windows side it reports the year correctly.
Anybody know why BSD thinks it's 5 years earlier???

Hi,
In order to save the internet address space, my cable co has setup their

Yes, the default gateway and leases are passed, but the network connection

If you just do a dhcp setup, do an ifconfig -a, netstat -r and paste the
