Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4jjok5$2sh@news.bridge.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ppp-mia1-42.bridge.net X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4 I just installed FreeBSD 2.1 and cant seem to be able to save the device settings. I boot up with -c and go through removing devices that I am not using and changing addresses of conflicting devies. I save and exit, but the next time I reboot everything is back. I am totally new to this so maybe I am doing something stupid. I am also getting permission denied when trying to access certain directories and when trying to create directories. I am logging in as root with the admin password and login is o.k..... I think....... I have checked out the documentation on the boot disc, but it is not much help. I have also checked out various FAQ's with no progress.... I am trying to set this system up to be able to learn UNIX, so I dont know much about it...Any help would be greatly appreciated.
