question about FreeBSD installing
hi I have a problem when I try to install FreeBSD as client OS on a Linux OS. following the instruction I find that I can't open the website of www.fsmware.com to finish some download work. it seems that the dns server don't support the address in China Mainland. do you have any way to solve the problem? -- -thanks -yuehui ___ 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

FreeBSD is an operating system, not an application. following the instruction I find that I can't open the website of www.fsmware.com to finish some download work. If you want to learn how to install FreeBSD you should start with The Handbook: English: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html another alternative: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/zh_CN.GB2312/books/handbook/index.html You may notice there is no mention of any downloading from www.fsmware.com. Perhaps the instructions you are trying to follow are incorrect? The Handbook might be better as it is the official documentation for FreeBSD. it seems that the dns server don't support the address in China Mainland. do you have any way to solve the problem? Nope. It is a problem with government politics in China and not FreeBSD related. -Mike ___ 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
Re: question about FreeBSD installing
Hello! I presume you are talking about running FreeBSD as a guest OS in Xen or the like. Let me point you to this URL, it contains a lot of useful information on what you're seeking. The fsmware.com website seems down, and has been for awhile. The documentation is just out of date. http://wiki.freebsd.org/AdrianChadd Take Care! - Don 王跃辉 wyh1...@gmail.com 04/21/10 10:21 AM hi I have a problem when I try to install FreeBSD as client OS on a Linux OS. following the instruction I find that I can't open the website of www.fsmware.com to finish some download work. it seems that the dns server don't support the address in China Mainland. do you have any way to solve the problem? -- -thanks -yuehui ___ 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 ___ 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

Uhm no idea where the www.fsmware.com domain comes into anything,... sorry cant help here. Nope. It is a problem with government politics in China and not FreeBSD related. Actually nothing to do with Chinese politics, the http server attached to the hostname www.fsmware.com is genuinely down. ___ 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

It's mentioned in several places, including the Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html Download the FreeBSD domU kernel for Xen 3.0 and disk image from http://www.fsmware.com/; I'd be happy to host the files that used to be on that site if it would help - it would be good to get the broken links fixed because I came across the same problem and ended up having to create a Xen image manually. -- Bruce Cran ___ 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
