Hi,

to start with?
Thanks

Start again, this time install FreeBSD 6.1 instead. Then proceed to
http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html .

DSW> A number of us suggested that he start conservatively, Mike, based
on what his needs would be. I wrote him a long e-mail that discussed the
pros and cons of each RELEASE stream, and he's made his choice. Since
you yourself are having some heartburn with RELENG_6, perhaps you can
sympathize with someone who doesn't need the grief while trying to
learn? ;-]

Mihir, the Handbook is also resident on your computer in

/usr/share/doc/(en|your language)/books/handbook

I suggest that you read everything in books and articles first (assuming
you've loaded the package or port for a web browser like Mozilla or
Firefox), then type 'man man' at a prompt. More precise finger-pointing
will have to follow more detail as to your desired usage, but let me
suggest that freebsd-questions would be more appropriate for such
discussions. This list is for technical discussions related to ongoing
bugfixing and upgrades to the system.

Another good resource is http://www.daemonnews.org, and the online forum
there is also a good place to ask for suggestions.
