It has already been done. The modern installer is called sysinstall. It covers many actions: It does not only install the operating systen, it furthermore helps installaing applications and configuring the system, its services, network settings, security and so on. It can be used from a serial console, from the text mode, and from an X terminal. It's very straight forward. For maximum easiness of operations, it's controlled via the keyboard. As I mentioned, this can be a local keyboard, or one of a serial terminal (a real terminal in hardware or a connected terminal emulator). At the moment, this modern installer is available in the english language, which is the main communications language of the FreeBSD operating system. English language is a mandatory language for any serious IT bizniz, so it's no problem at all. If you think the FreeBSD installer lacks a specific functionality, then feel free to report to the mailing list or contact the FreeBSD developers.

tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log | awk '/192.168.1.100/ {
system(sprintf(echo %s | mail m...@email.address, $0)); }'
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Can't fix most mistakes, need to redo the install Hmmm... I think this is where the user learns first think, then do on a good basis. - Does not make the difference between base system and packages obvious. Yes, especially when adding functionalities like Linux compatibility, the installer installs some additional packages at this given moment. I'd prefer an installer which acts in two stages: Stage 1: Make all the settings; this would maybe include the option of having a back button, or much better: Instead of a linear structure, a hierarchical structure with direct access (as it is now) is much better - in this case, you don't need a back button. Stage 2: Download (and install) the system and the packages that are required by the settings made in stage 1. Personally, I would like a text installer using a previous/next approach that would give me options like: Forgive me my ignorance, but personally, I completely DISLIKE this linear approach.

This is what sysinstall already provides.

You can select Exit this menu (returning to previous one) (I think cancel too) in the distributions list without making any selection at all, and it still goes on and install (what?). Pressing CTRL+C at most parts of sysinstall will give you a menu to abort or restart the installation program. On restart, most of the times it will fail creating (slices or partitions) or formating filesystems. These are just a few problems I remember now.

I have simply copied over the freebsd-update script from a 7.0 machine and it seems to work fine just as on the 7.0 machine.

The partitioner will allow you to create more partitions than the FreeBSD partition table will allow. Rather than giving it the name of a special file in the /dev/directory, it will name it just X.

MySQL without Innodb
Hello, I'm trying to compile MySQL 5.1.34, but I can't find options to not compile in innodb database support. Have these been removed? And, if so, why?

Can't comment on if/why the options were removed, but adding skip-innodb to your my.cnf file will turn off the innodb engine at runtime and reduce the memory consumption of the MySQL server processes.

From my experiences, the tar filesystem is the best one to do this. You can transfer the tar archives (and add compression if needed) between different operating systems using FTP or any Internet means as well as via optical media, even the use of floppy disks (if you still know them) is possible.

But i'd have to somehow upload all of the mail currently in my outlook express. I'll also need some kind of spam functionality as I get a sizable amount of spam.

Firefox3 and dependencies on firefox2,libxul,xulrunner
Hi, I uninstalled firefox 2, installed firefox 3 and use it. Later, portupgrade of librsvg2 began to build firefox 2 (I aborted it with ^C). Then I specified graphics/librsvg2 = WITH_GECKO=xulrunner, in MAKE_ARGS in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf . Now I'm trying to portupgrade mplayer-plugin, it also tried to build firefox 2. I tried www/mplayer-plugin = WITH_GECKO=xulrunner, but that gave an error message (xulrunner isn't an option). So, I tried www/mplayer-plugin = WITH_GECKO=libxul, then: === libxul-1.9.0.7_3 conflicts with installed package(s): xulrunner-1.8.0.4_15 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). What to do - to allow firefox2 to be installed along with firefox3? Will they conflict? Is Gecko a really necessary dependence of librsvg2 and mplayer-plugin if they are invoked only from firefox3? For what? 7.1-PRERELEASE (Oct 20) i386, linux_base-f8-8_11.

The original question included no reference to Outlook but Outlook Express. Forgive me my lack of knowledge, but I've never used one of these products (as I have not used any product by MICROS~1). Not even close. I've been told so. And while I personally would not pick Outlook Express as a POP/IMAP client, it is pretty standards based. Outlook talking to an Exchange server is an entirely different matter. It wasn't clear what solution the poster initially expected, but more and more I think IMAP would be the way to go. So there's not much responsibility on the MICROS~1 side (which is good). An IMAP system is quite easily set up with FreeBSD, and there have already been good advices which programs to employ for this purpose. The client on the user's site doesn't matter much, as long as it does the IMAP communications. At least that was the lay of the land the last time I was forced to pay close attention to Microsoft e-mail clients. As I said, I never payed any attention to them, because I don't consider them mail clients, but a bad excuse for not being one. :-) -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I experienced this the other day, and have been meaning to file a bug

Yes, this is a long standing problem. On one or both of {Open,Net}BSD,
the number of possible partitions per slice is higher. I'd really wish
FreeBSD's bsdlabel(8) would allow for more partitions. The problem
here is not with sysinstall though. From bsdlabel(8):
The partition table can have up to 8 entries. It contains the following
information:
# The partition identifier is a single letter in the range `a' to
`h'. By convention, partition `c' is reserved to describe the
entire disk.
Take away 'b' for swap, and 'c' for the whole disk, you can only
use 6 partitions per slice (including the root partition) on the
bootable slice. That's clearly not enough, esp. on big disks, and
with complex setups. :-(

Usually, slides should accompany and complement a presentation. I understand that much, and I have at least one file of preamble chatter per section. Some sections have 4 or 5 preamble mumblings that offer the user///reader a clue re my thinking. One thing I never forgot was that we all take away a slightly different set of concepts from what we read or see on the tube. Even from a painting or photo. My chatter/mumblings are only my ideas, my guidelines. I was surprised when my daughter drew something completely different from one thing I wrote. If the document must stand alone (no speech, etc), and the content is of any complexity, I would advise not using slides.

here is not with sysinstall though. From bsdlabel(8):
The partition table can have up to 8 entries. It contains the
following
information:
# The partition identifier is a single letter in the range `a' to
`h'. By convention, partition `c' is reserved to describe the
entire disk.
Take away 'b' for swap, and 'c' for the whole disk, you can only
use 6 partitions per slice (including the root partition) on the
bootable slice. That's clearly not enough, esp. on big disks, and
with complex setups. :-(

Apparently, it's already in 7.x. I have no spare disk right now to
give it a try. Would it already support 8+ partitions on RELENG_7,
or do we have to wait for 8.0?

Hi Annelise,
It seems you are running mergemaster with a new kernel but with the old
make(1) binary across a major release update. Since part of the update
process spawned by mergemaster depends on `make' and the `/usr/share/mk'
files, you have to installworld before you can use the new megemaster
script.
The pre-buildworld mode of mergemaster (`mergemaster -p') should run
fine even with an old userland and old `/usr/share/mk' files. But you
should install everything before you run a full mergemaster update of
all files in `/etc'.
