Downloads
Hi, I've downloaded the 6.2 files. When I burned a CD with the boot file it didn't make my laptop boot off it after powering up with it in the CD drive. The *disk1 file burnt to a CD gave the same results. I tried the *disk1 file using ftp through a browser and also command line ftp set to binary. I checked the boot order and CD is first. If I put a Windows boot CD in there it will boot off of it. Any ideas? I've got a Compaq Presario 2500 laptop with XP on it now. Thanks for the help in advance, Jim P. Need Mail bonding?

Remove FreeBSD Boot Manager
How can I remove the FreeBSD boot manager? My disk is full with an NTFS partition or slice and there was only room for 7 meg of anything else. The only thing that is installed now is the boot manager that asks if I want to start in Windows or BSD. I'd like to get rid of that until I can figure out how to shrink the partition.

GUI
Any tips on how to make FreeBSD start with a GUI login screen? I chose gnome and X-Windows in the install and they run in a weird limited way if I start them up after logining in to a command line. But it doesn't start in a way that allows a login to a GUI as the initial login screen. Plus, when I try to execute xterm I get Can't open display even though I've set DISPLAY and display environment variables to :0.0 and localhost:0.0 and ip_address_of_box:0.0. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Jim __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
