Nothing works

[E. J. Cerejo]

First you should stop with this kind of sarcasm, I
knew very little about FreeBSD when I first started
and today I have no problems configuring it the way I
want it yet yo claim to be familiar with unix and you
are having such a nightmare!  Something is wrong!  You
need to do some reading, not because it's FreeBSD but
because it's freaking unix, anyone would have to do
the same with linux or any other unix flavor.

You bought the wrong book, that book is not for you,
you should of gone with "The Complete FreeBSD" (the
latest one) or "FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating
System for Your Personal Computer" if it has been
updated to 5x.

I'm assuming you were able to install freebsd since
you've tried to install some ports and couldn't, so
the reason it couldn't it's because you're not
connected to the internet, when you run make it tries
to download the source code automatically and because
it can't it fails, no code no candy!  Install from
packages instead, you should have most of them on CD.
