As they know it will save them a lot of pain in the long term. Second, I would ask why you are were using OpenBSD 4.2-current? As this is really for system developers, the crazy brave, and fools who've not read the OpenBSD installation guide. Third, chroot is a security feature, if understand why you want to use it, or if you'd prefer not to use it then use a operating system more in line with your computer skills. Finally, not RTFM (reading the manaul) of the software before installing it wasted your holiday. OpenBSD can be installed from CD onto a blank HDU, working, with Apachectl, MySQL, PHP (including PHPMyAdmin) easily in less than 1 hour (including coffee breaks). But then I can also see the woman in the red dress. ~ Learning can sometimes be painful, but don't give up! ~ First, I would say OpenBSD is for more expert system admins/power users then your average computer user, people who have had enough experience to read up on the software they are about to install before they install it.
