FBSD or PCBSD?
Hello, I have a basic Acer Aspire with Vista on it but I am very unhappy about the speed of work on it. I do not want to wipe out MS system (at least not yet) but would like to give FreeBSD or PCBSD a try. 1. Am I safe by installing FreeBSD alongside Vista? Will the installation not destroy MS system? 2. I have installed FreeBSD a few times but only with console access, never with X windows. Would it be better to install PCBSD on the Acer machine? I have never configured X windows and not sure how long it could take with FreeBSD (actually I mean things like Gnome or KDE). 3. The wi-fi card is probably Acer InviLink 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. Any chance such wireless card will be supported by FreeBSD or PCBSD? Which is a better solution for a home user? Thank you very much for your practical recommendations!

Just make sure you have free space and go. You probably want to use the FreeBSD Bootmanager but I'm not 100% sure about that ( Only running a dualboot system with FreeBSD and WinXP for which the FreeBSD bootmanager is required ) 2. I have installed FreeBSD a few times but only with console access, never with X windows. Would it be better to install PCBSD on the Acer machine? I have never configured X windows and not sure how long it could take with FreeBSD (actually I mean things like Gnome or KDE). Depends on your needs. If you are planning on running an other WM/DE than KDE (Or at least I thought PCBSD came with KDE by default ) and you are familliar with the ports system you are better off choosing FreeBSD. Setting up X is a piece of cake nowadays. In most cases Xorg wil generate it's own configfile at start and you don't realy have to worry about it. If something doesn't work or you want to configure it somehow you can just run 'Xorg --configure' which wil generate a configfile you can edit by hand. On the other hand if you are completely new to FreeBSD, the portsystem etc than I guess you're better off installing PCBSD. 3. The wi-fi card is probably Acer InviLink 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. Any chance such wireless card will be supported by FreeBSD or PCBSD? I don't know in what way it is supported. Google will probably give you an answer.

Freesbie on USB stick + qemu
Good day all, Just recently I discovered a new (for me) way of using Freesbie and I wanted to share it with you. A few months ago the motherboard on my FreeBSD machine gave up, and I had no way of running Unix anymore (aside from my ancient Toshiba that runs OpenBSD). Ive always liked Freesbie, but using it as a LiveCD and rebooting between it and XP is daunting. Googling for linux usb brought me to this site http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ . I tried most of the Linux distros they have on that site, however for some reason or another I was not satisfied, either it didnt have gcc (damn small) or couldnt connect to the internet (ubuntu). Then I remembered Freesbie and decided to give it a try, running it from a usb stick using Qemu. I followed the instructions for Ubuntu http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/01/11/run-ubuntu-710-from-windows/ And the only thing that I had to do was to replace the Ubuntu ISO image with the one of Freesbie. It feels pretty snappy with Kqemu acceleration driver installed. I can even store stuff on the stick; after running the mountdisks script, an ext2fs partition is mounted and I was able to save files on it and they were there the next time I started Freesbie. I am able to connect to the network. The only issue that I have is when running X (startx), the window is tiny (800 X 600 pixels I believe), but its not a big deal.

L2TP over IPSec
Hi Everyone. I'm attempting to connect to my home network (running behind FreeBSD router) using L2TP over IPSec. The client's are Windows XP machines.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Upgrading network card driver on FreeBSD 6.2 ?
Just recently found out that FreeBSD 6.2 doesn't have native support for my network card: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) It does work on machines with the B0 rev. In order to upgrade the driver, is it sufficient to replace the contents of: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/ ?? Or are there other src files I also need to replace? While browsing one of the ftp mirrors I noticed there were 6.3-RELEASEimages available but I'm always wary of using a brand new release.

Re: Anycast DNS - anybody?
Regarding Anycast DNS - anybody?; Ewald Jenisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] adds: Ewald Hi, Ewald Has anybody out there configured anycast DNS (where multiple instances Ewald of a DNS-server run under the same IP-address in different parts of Ewald the network) under FreeBSD? AFAIK, anycast requires magic at routing level. So that user will connect to the nearest DNS server (holding the anycast address). Ewald I'm looking for some hints to get started, but googling around didn't Ewald provide much info on that topic... It has do with routing so you need to investigate on routing protocols, like RIP, etc. 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.1network 10.0.0.2 192.168.1.1 [server1] --- [router1] =[router2] --- [server2] router1, router2 -- redundant routers connecting to different ISPs So if router2 receives packet destined for 192.168.1.1, instead of sending to server1 it'll send it to server2, since server2 is nearest to it, and vice versa. Above is a very simple configuration describing anycast. Since Anycast works only for connection-less protocols, you don't need to keep TCP connections synchronized between two servers, although both servers should behave identically, i.e. return similar records. BtW, I've never implemented anycast ever, so its fully based on my imagination.

It does work on machines with the B0 rev. In order to upgrade the driver, is it sufficient to replace the contents of: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/ ?? Or are there other src files I also need to replace? most probably yes. While browsing one of the ftp mirrors I noticed there were 6.3-RELEASEimages available but I'm always wary of using a brand new release.

KDE won't allow me to logout and restart kdm after upgrade to xorg 7.3
Hi, About two months ago (yes, I'm only now getting around to fixing this), I decided it was time to upgrade my Xorg install from 6.9 to the current. I followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING from 20070519. After the upgrade, everything was going ok, until I logged out of KDE. I ended the session and was redirected to ttyv0. The following was on the system console: Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin: :0[948]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: Display :0 cannot be opened Jan 18 20:22:36 sniper kdm-bin[788]: Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling. I then went to another console and, as root, did: sniper# sockstat | grep x root kdm-bin788 9 stream /var/run/xdmctl/dmctl/socket Which cleared out whatever was wrong and restarted kdm-bin and allowed me to start another session. What exactly is going on here? The reason it isn't too big a deal, and took me until now to mention it is because I'm about the only person who uses FreeBSD here at home and so when I logout, it's usually to shut off the computer. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Andy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

Build server for ports and world...
I'd like to set up a build server at home to save me time when running portupgrade and building world. I've read the handbook on this, and I'm happy with the process of NFS mounting /usr/src /usr/obj and /usr/ports etc.. I've two questions though. First, my home server currently runs 6.2-RELEASE - I update it using freebsd-update and it doesn't have the source for world kernel. Is it possible to put the 7.0 source on this and build for installation on my desktop, or do I need to take the server to 7.0 before I do this? Second, is there anyway of building packages without installing them? I'm not keen to put X and all my desktop gubbins on the server when I only need it to build the packages. Thanks for any help.
