Hello All,
In basic: "What am I doing wrong?"
Downloaded the latest DVD. Installed per the documentation in the handbook.
Some of the commands mentioned in the handbook come back that the command is not installed. doing as root.
I am using the X-user distribution set.
One of the commands so far that pukes is: "make buildworld"
Another issue: Once I use freebsd-update I get a p3 after the system name, and all port build attempts or adding software after that point beefs about being the wrong version.
Coming from many years with Linux, but wanting a more standardized and supervised OS like FreeBSD attracted me.
I am old now, and have had a series of small strokes, so please forgive if the above is an ignorant queation.
Oh....One more question. I am after a desktop system that's easy to maintain. Being an old ENIAC guy, command line prompts don't bother me.
So now the actual Q: Putting FreeBSD on a desktop. Is that a round beg in a square hole? Or is that ok?
Thank you sincerely,
Dave Babb
