The FreeBSD Handbook is priceless.
A lot of effort is put into making it as complete and accurate as possible.
The next time you decide to install FreeBSD as a newuser, i suggest
you read through the handbook at least once.
Remember: The FreeBSD Community and the Handbook Team, to be specific,

Hi Bill:
Sorry you had such a miserable time with this. You may want to get
either of these two books, as helps in installing and configuring
FreeBSD.
FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer,
by Annelise Anderson
Absolute BSD: The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD
by Michael
Hello,
I have spent at least two weeks of my free time downloading 5.3 and trying to

got a lot of error code 1 messages that I never did figure
