How do I find and mount an NTFS partition on my dual boot Windows 7 and FreeBSD 9.0 system while in the FreeBSD partition? ?.

The printout is in http://pastebin.com/F6CYPgN2 Now I am able to mount; do not know why it just worked. Thank you for all the help.

Progress Yes, gpart list identifies the NTFS portion of the drive as ada0s2. However, in the Xfce4 window manager, when I go to a terminal window, type in su and the password, and the command mount_ntfs /dev/ada0s2 /mnt, I am given the reply operation not permitted I am trying to access the...

I have a dual boot system on a Toshiba Laptop L665. It is Windows 7 home premium and FreeBSD 9.1 release. How do I get an accurate list of the partitions on the hard drive when I am using the FreeBSD half? I have tried gpart show -l but when I try to use mount_ntfs I am told there is no such...

Solved I decided to reinstall freeBSD 9.1 on the Toshiba laptop which is a dual boot system. I then followed the suggestions and have xfce as the window manager and I have chromium as the web browser. My remaining question is: What is a good mail program to run in xfce?

question My question is how do I install from ports a particular browser? I looked for Midori in the /usr/ports/net directory and could not find Midori. As I type this I realized I should have looked in the wm directory too.

what is a decent browser What browser can I install from ports to have a working browser with the Xfce4 window manager?

I pinged http://www.google.com. once before even entering xfce and once after typing in the command startx. Both times I receved a valid IP address (74.125.26.106 and 74.125.131.147 respectively). The command did present the problem that it would not terminate and proceeded on indefinitely.

I have set up xfce4 as my window manager. I have however encountered a problem. Epiphany is the default web browser but I can not seem to get it to connect to the Internet. What can I do to alleviate this issue? Is there something that I should do with the rc.conf file? Moved to the...

A further helpful site When doing an installation of X or some window manager it flashed a site to look at before requesting help: http://wiki.X.org My apologies and thanks.

Successfully Installed The x11/kde4 installed successfully after two or three iterations of going to the specific directory that had the ports for which CHECKSUMwas not ok, running make distclean and make checksum-recursive in their respective directories and running make install cleanfor the...

This is the link that has a copy of the output of dig http://www.google.com: http://pastebin.com/bFu5pYbc It may seem snobbish but I am taking up kpa's suggestion and effectively abandoning gnome. I am trying to strictly adhere to UNIX therefore FreeBSD. I am now trying to install KDE4. I...

No error message There is no error message. The browser will just continue on and on saying that it is loading but nothing happens.

Not as frustrated as I was The browser will not load any pages. For instance http://www.google.com The reason I believe it is an issue with the network connection is that in the Administrative dropdown menu and selecting network the window that opens identifies the connections but states that...

Clarification Do I understand correctly? FreeBSD builds the port. To do this it also builds the ports it depends on. If there is a single error somewhere in this chain the FreeBSD compiler continues but if another error comes up the compiler will announce "Error 1" Is that anywhere near a...

It is most probably the correct ISO. I downloaded on Windows 7 the same ISO and then burned it to DVD. It installed to a Toshiba L775 laptop without an issue. I am wondering if maybe in the process of burning or getting the image there was some sort of corruption.
