another issue I have run across is that system boards in some Netvista's are bad (the test they gave is a visual, look at the capacitors and if they appear to be swollen more than likely this was the problem)
Hey,
I've downloaded different ports (xfree86,games,etc) from the Freebsd website, burned the cd's and tried to decompress the .gz files. I tried various switches, however, I always get xxxxxx is a read only file system (xxxxx is the name of the file trying to work with), I did use the -fc...
