Dear folks, I have installed 9.0 - BETA 2, and I had no x, when I typed startx, some folks have suggested to check if I have xorg-server, I will do that as soon as I get to my machine on Monday. Also I will check if I put into /etc/rc.conf, hald_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES" as well, otherwise startx will not work. But my question is as follows, How do I get kernel sources and base installed? I tried sysinstall and used configure -> distributions -> kernel + sys + base as outlined in http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-install-kernel-source-code/ Did not work, got mirrors but timed out errors, I went through most mirrors in Japan, Sweden, USA, and it appears not to be found. I tried bsdinstall and reinserted 9.0-BETA2-amd64-dvd1 into drive and it would not mount and would return an error. I have read about using cvs or something like it, but I have not used it and would like some pointers on how to use it, or other form that would work to install kernel sources so I could try nvidia-driver since X was not working and nv driver is too old and might not work as one would like it to. Thanks in Advance for comments/advice/suggestions. Regards, AntonioReceived on Sun Sep 18 2011 - 12:00:41 UTC
