Opera browser native FreeBSD (was Re: AbiWord)
Browser-based apps are what I do, all day. And Opera is the best, by far: http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/?platform=freebsd FreeBSD native. Fast. Small. Wonderful font-rendering. Totally HTML/XML standards-compliant, etc. If you use the web all day, it's worth paying the $39 USD to these nice people up in Norway who made this great browser.

4.8-PRE upgrade to 5.0 problems
Hi. I cvsuped to FreeBSD 5.0 and i followed the instructions given in /usr/src/UPDATING. buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel went fine. Ok, i had to do a lot of changes in my kernelconfig to get it built and installed, but it went without a major problem. So, i switched to single user mode to do a mergemaster -p and an installworld. With "installworld" i got these errors: [So that was my fault, i misunderstood UPDATING and thought that i have only to switch from multi user to single user (i did not see the "reboot" ;))] Checking to see if your booted Kernel is fresh enough.. /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/sh/sh -c 'echo "Testing installed kernel fpr new sigaction(2) syscall"' pid 60424/sh),uid0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) Bad system call (core dumped) ***Error code 140 Stop in /usr/src ***Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src Well, ok, i read the first line and booted my machine, so that the new Kernel can boot. Also if the machine will not boot correctly i will fall to single user mode. This happend. Back in single user mode i did a second "installworld", and, surprise surprise, it worked without errors. Ok, i rebooted the machine. So, now on bootup i get these messages: link_elf: symbol lminor undefined link_elf: symbol splhigh undefined And if i want to login, i get these: login: $MYNAME login:in openpam_load_module(): no pam:skey.so found login:pam_start(): failed to load module I cant login. So, does this mean, some modules are missing? And how do i get the system back running perfectly? And, a third error message appears on boottime: Warning: userland calling deprecated sysctl, please rebuild world Well, i booted the machine back in single user mode, mount all the devices, and did a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, mergemaster and installworld again. The result? The same errors, plus something other i did not recognize the first time (but was there): When i use /usr/sbin/mergemaster -p i cant scroll the passwd down with the arrow keys. If i open a config file with the vi, it looks a bit strange, i cant move around in there and the config stuff is not one by line, it looks a bit shaked. If i run /usr/sbin/mergemaster after installworld, i get an error "can't cd to /usr/src/etc". Strange. So, any help out there?

I have licenses for both the native and Linux versions. Another reason to use the Linux version is that there are more plugins available for Linux than FreeBSD. You can also try the Linux version 7 preview, which is not yet available in a FreeBSD native version. It's a preview, so not all capabilities are working, but it does have a perfectly serviceable mail and newsreader in the 4.7MB download.

loading ipfw module without default-deny
Hello, I want to: kldload ipfw.ko but I am not near the physical machine, and cannot type in an allow rule after loading the module - by default all traffic will be denied. How can I load the ipfw.ko module but not knock myself off the network ? My only thought was to put an `ipfw add` rule into a cron job to run one minute after I load the module, but that seems silly :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

How about a shell script that does the kldload and then the ipfw add to allow all traffic from your machine? That's how I used to reload ifpw rules remotely.

kw:printing, usb, epson photo stylus 1270...
Howdy, folks. I'm wishing, I am, to get an Epson Photo Stylus 1270 working on a USB port. I know the connection is working due to output. However, the output is not what I want. It's garbage. I created a simple printcap entry by cloning an existing entry and changing the parameters appropriately. However, I am not doing any filtering before the signal goes on the wire to the printer. (It's been a while since I last got this working under FBSD and Linux and I can't remember what I did. In fact, I can't find my notes either which I'm pretty good about keeping.) So,..., when I print from GIMP I would get pages and pages of junk rather than a graphic image. I setup the GIMP to print to appropriate device (Epson Photo Stylus 1270), paper quality, print quality, etc. And viola. Junk. Now I print to file and examine contents. Well, it's sure not Postscript. I send this to the printer directly by copying it to the USB port. Junk. Okay, now I trying sending a plain text file to the device. Nothing. Now I'm wondering if I should be filtering the output before sending it to the printer. You help, of course, if more than appreciated. It's invaluable. Thanks.

I will attempt to do a buildworld now, and I can actually understand why this is. I can also see that I *should* have a backdoor prior to installworld. In the meantime, I did (thankfully) find a 4.3 cd that the previous admin had left (with no label or anything of course) and have installed it onto a scrap unit. It is in cvsup mode right now, updating source. I am going to gamble on the buildworld on my production amanda box first, as this is at least not mission critical, and I can afford to lose this one for a day. Things are looking very hopeful for my first real attempt at upgrade, and the things I am learning about the src structure and the way the FreeBSD source tree works is great! I recently built a cvs server for my own production, but now I actually understand cvs and branching at a whole new level! Tks again for such great user support and for an OS that nothing can even compare to.

SmartCards
Good day/night I have been wondering if there is any SmartCard RW support in FreeBSD and is some body using a SmartCard RW at the moment (would be nice if he could tell me the brand) since I wan't too set upp a "secure" logging thing that will need a 1024bit auth key (located on the SmartCard) to logging in (I had this wacky idea ;) Well anyway if there is SmartCard support, and somebody is using a SmartCard RW on FreeBSD and has the time too let me know wich brand it would be neat.

In the DNS zone file for error domain, there is an MX record pointing to your localhost. If you are not sending mail from the machine DNS is running on, it will surely fail. I don't believe this is related to this specific issue though. I am assuming that trinity is a host in the the-matrix.net domain. If this is the case, you need to create an A record in your DNS for this host. If you can't do that, try putting the FQDN inside of /etc/hosts with it's ip. This should be done on the box that sendmail is running on.

you have config your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to masquerade a FQDN. the only thing I can tell u to add and try is: DMYourFQDNhere eg: DMhotmail.com you'll get your email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] if your Unix user is b1henning. if this doesnt work, search for how to config your sendmail.cf's version for masquerading, old versions require more options at the bottom of the file in the envelope rewriting options.

Re: 4.3 -> RELENG_4
IAccounts wrote: I may be wrong, but ... Do this order: make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel reboot make installworld I am going to attempt the above in order as stated. I have read UPDATING, have the handbook open. One thing I am confused about: The next line after my new text states that this should give me a new config. My understanding is that buildworld will build the system, but not install it. Am I correct in saying that if the world is not installed, then the new config will not be installed either? I apologize, I'm forgetting things and giving you half-correct information all over the place. First off ... the handbook is your authoritative reference on this, if anything I say conflicts with the handbook, I'm most likely wrong. buildworld builds everything except the kernel and puts it all in /usr/obj, thus there are no changes to your running system. buildkernel is similar (it builds the kernel and puts it in /usr/obj) but it uses the utilities that are in /usr/obj instead of your running sytem, that's why you must always buildworld first. At this point, nothing on your running system has changed. You can buildworld and buildkernel on a live system without affecting its operation. When you installkernel, it copies /kernel to /kernel.old, then installs the kernel it built with buildkernel as /kernel. It also installs kernel modules in the /modules directory. At this point your system has changed ... but getting it back to where it was involves copying /kernel.old to /kernel and /modules.old to /modules ... not too hard. The changes don't take effect until you reboot, though. If, apon reboot, things don't look good, you can backtrack easily by booting the kernel.old and doing the copying described above. If everything looks good, you do installworld. Installworld copys a lot of stuff to it's proper place. I have no idea what all files are altered, but there are LOTs of them. Reverting an installworld is a LOT of work! But it is doable ... I've done it, so don't think that all is lost if something goes wrong, it's just that it's probably easier to reinstall the system and restore from backup. There's a step that I left out: mergemaster. Mergemaster creates a temporary copy of the files that belong in /etc. (make a backup of /etc before running mergemaster) and then allows you to selectively install whatever files you need. It goes through each file that should be in /etc, compares it to what is currently in /etc and tells you whether it needs updated or not. This is the most difficult and easiest step to screw up. If you install the new /etc/passwd, for example, you'll lose any users you've added, so you'll probably want to merge that file in. Some other examples are /etc/printcap, /etc/group, /etc/hosts. On the other hand, there are some startup scripts in /etc that you almost always want to update, such as /etc/rc, and everything in /etc/defaults. This is why it's so important to backup /etc before using mergemaster, so you can easily back out of a mistake. Using mergemaster is important! Don't skip this step. Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion I created. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

HP ScanJet 4100C and FreeBSD
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've recently set up a FreeBSD box for my father to replace his old windows stuff. Everything worked fine until i got to setup his scanner, a HP ScanJet 4100C. It is an USB scanner, and i can't get FreeBSD to recognize it :-( The USB ports in the computer are working fine as far as i can tell. I can plugin a webcam in either port and it gets recognized both by the kernel and when executing usbdevs. But when i plug in the scanner, usbdevs only reports "addr 0, should never happen!". After a short while, i get the error "uhub0: Device problem, disabling port X". When the scanner is plugged in during bootup, the kernel hangs for a few seconds after detecting the USB hub and then continues after printing the exact same message. But, though i have since been unable to reproduce it, yesterday i got it recognized for a very brief moment. I plugged the scanner in and it correctly got recognized as an Hp ScanJet 4100C, and i even had a message that uscanner0 was assigned to it. A few seconds later, it stopped working again with "device problem". I searched the web and some mailing list archives and found one message back from 2001 when someone reportet the exact same problem. The only reply he got was something along the lines of "FYI: My USB->serial converter does the exact same thing" . I should mention that the same scanner works perfectly in windows, so the device itself can't be defect, nor the cables, power supply etc. Can Anyone help me ? I am running 5.0-RELEASE on this box (recently cvsup'ed) and have compiled my own kernel with all necessary USB options. The behaviour was the same in 4.7-RELEASE, though... both with the respective GENERIC and my own kernels. Any help/solution/workaround would be greatly appreciated, since my father NEEDS his scanner and i can't just swap it for another device. And i would HATE to revert back to a M$ solution. Thank you very much in advance ! Please put me into the CC: line of any answer as i don't subscribe to this list.

To my knowlege, yes. Lets say you had a server called www. You would just give it two addresses in your domain configuration files. www IN CNAME 12.34.56.78 www IN CNAME 9.10.11.12 www IN CNAME 65.4.3.21 The DNS standard will give out a different address for every query. To get the address 12.34.56.78 twice, you would have to make 4 unique queries for the server records. One good example of this is to look at www.yahoo.com in nslookup.

anon ftp
Someone previously posted this URL in response to a question on anonymous FTP: http://www.freebsddiary.org/ftp-anonymous.php But the article requires SUIDDIR which is warned as being a potential security risk. Is this a big concern? It also outlines a way to prevent uploads from being downloaded - I do not necessarily want to go this far. What I'd really like to do is to allow the current/actual uploader to do anything to his uploaded files and directories, but to allow only downloading by all other anonymous FTP users (including himself on another connection). I see I can set various flags on ftpd to disallow uploading and downloading for anon users altogether, but that's not my goal. Anyone? Thanks.

Re: IP Aliasing in rc.conf
I think you want this instead: ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.0.201 netmask 255.0.0.0" ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 10.0.0.211 netmask 255.255.255.255" On Thu, 06 Mar 2003, Martyn Hill wrote: > Hi all > > Can someone confirm that the following is the correct way to implement one > IP alias (same subnet) on a single fxp NIC in rc.conf (for the purposes of > running a "dual samba/samba-tng" installation): > > ipconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.0.201 netmask 255.0.0.0" > ipconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 10.0.0.211 netmask 255.255.255.255" > > Regards > Martyn Hill > Network Administrator > St James Independent School > London > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Thanx! Hiho! :-) First of all, sorry for answering that late, i forgot about your mail for some time and remembered it just recently. You need both dummynet (the freebsd traffic shaper) and ipfw (firewall) to do this. And i strongly suggest that you do a "man ipfw" and read through it, else you won't really understand what the firewall rules do :-) If you have not enabled both of them in your kernel, you need to do so. options are: options IPFW2 (might be obsolete in 5.0) options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE (optional) options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100(optional) options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT(optional) options DUMMYNET options HZ=1000 I'd also suggest to do a "man ipfw" and read through the whole thing, its really worth it. After you've installed the new kernel, you need to create a config file for ipfw which tells it to give high priority to the small ( < 64 byte) tcp packets. Mine looks like this: pipe 1 config bw 132kbit/s queue 10kbyte This creates a dummynet pipe which bandwidth is approximately equal to the max. adsl upstream, the "queue 10kbyte" part tells it to create a 10kbbyte packer-buffer for that pipe (I'v not really figured out yet what the optimal buffer size is, this size works fine for normal traffic but you might run into latency-problems if you play online games). queue 1 config weight 50 pipe 1 add 597 queue 4 ip from me to any src-port 41000-42000,21,20 out This creates a dummynet queue which is linked to a pipe and is used to give certain priority to the traffic sent through the pipe linked to the queue. The priority is given through the "weight value" command. "value" can be anything from 1 to 100. The higher the value, the higher the priority. Traffic piped through this queue has a high priority (50), so this is the pipe that will be used for the small tcp-packets Ok, now you need to create a second queue to pipe the "normal" upstream through (ftp traffic, p2p, whatever other traffic there is :-) ). Naturally, you want to give this traffic a lower priority than the tcp-control-packets. (i gave it priority 1, but i believe higher values up to 10 would also work). queue 2 config weight 1 pipe 1 # ftp traffic out Ok, now comes the tricky part. You've to tell the firewall (ipfw) which kind of packets are to be sent to the queues. add 550 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 46 out add 551 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 47 out add 552 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 48 out add 553 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 49 out add 554 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 50 out add 555 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 51 out add 556 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 52 out add 557 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 53 out add 558 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 54 out add 559 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 55 out add 560 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 56 out add 561 queue 1 ip from me to a

It should be metioned when its attached in dmesg. But other thing to do is type "mixer" to see if something exits. http://www.matsonic.com/faq.htm#Sound%20Pro%20Audio%20FAQs suggests your sound is a CMI8330 which is mentioned in /sys/dev/sound/isa/mss.c and would be supported by /modules/snd_mss.ko. However, its in the ISA catagory which means you have a PnP issue between your MB, BIOS, and FreeBSD. Its not called "Plug and Pray" without cause. You don't say whether the sound works under Windows? Look for an item in your BIOS config for "PnP OS". Try changing it to whatever it currently is not. Look for a setting to disable the sound card feature on the MB. May be labeled "AC97".

Re: Mirroring/load-balance two servers
The only problem with using DNS round robin like this, is that, in this scenario when 1 server is down, on average 1 in 3 requests to the web server will fail. But as previous posters have commented DNS should respond with the same 3 addresses, but it will rotate the order each time, in the version ( named 8.3.4-REL Sun Feb 9 01:23:18 GMT 2003 on 4.7-STABLE of the same date ) I am using it appears to return the addresses in some sort of random order at least it does for me in my test.

I'm using FBSD native mozilla for this reason alone because FBSD native jvm works. This problem has persisted for a long time and I'm not sure if it ever got fixed.

pom(6) doesn't accept date arguments whereas NetBSD's does
I've compared the versions of pom(6) on FreeBSD and NetBSD (which is also the one installed on Debian GNU/Linux), and the NetBSD one accepts a date argument. Why hasn't this version been imported into FreeBSD? I can see nothing in terms of licensing (or anything else for that matter, including a mailing list archive search for relevant issues) which would prevent it from being directly imported, without any changes to anything else in the build system. I've used it as a drop-in replacement on my system without difficulty. I've also thought of making a separate port of it, but it'd be much easier to just have it as part of the base system (no, it's not installed by the freebsd-games port). For those who are curious, the NetBSD version may be obtained at ftp://{MIRROR_SITE_URL}/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/games/pom/pom.c .

installation question/problem
I wrote an earlier thread with regards to installing via CD-ROM. Unfortunately I think I have a hardware technical problem that's beyond my intellect at this point. (Get a FAILURE error when the boot process starts - the CD hadn't even started humming yet) I've started the installation process a couple of times with the floppies. In fact, I must have something on the computer (meaning FreeBSD of some sort) after having used the 'kern' and 'mfsroot' disks. My question is, "Do you need to load all the distribution files when it asks you to, or is the OS actually on my system at this point, and I just don't know what the heck (censored) I'm doing. My problem with the distribution downloads is I apparently have a couple of bad disks, and each time the system finds that it can't access one of the files, it shuts down the loading process. I've finally gotten smart and have vtty2 on the monitor so I can see which disk goes awry, but this doesn't make the process go any easier, since when the loading stops, I have to start the distribution download all the way from the beginning again. Is there anyway to start the distribution download process where it last left off? (This is why I was hoping the CD-ROM route would work - unfortunately NOT!!) I hate beating myself up over this process, but I'm beginning to feel like the ULTIMATE NEWBIE with this. Someone toss me a preserver.

Hi Recently I installed xemacs-devel-2.4.8 from binary package(STABLE) in my FreeBSD 4.7. But after starting it I discovered that some very important display options such as "Blinking cursor" and "paren hightlighting" are grayed and aren't accessible. What's going on? __ Do you Yahoo!?

This is becoming a FAQ. 5.0-RELEASE was never designed as a supported release. See the early adopter's guide again: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/early-adopter.html Then see if your problem is fixed by trying -current. No one wants to spend time figuring out problems that are already fixed. (as yours may have been.) So check out: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html and follow the advice there. Anyone else interested in having a quick FAQ written up for this that we can reference? I'll write it if anyone cares to mark it up. And I'll be really nice in the FAQ writeup too ;) Tim btw, Anish, your specific question is not a FAQ, just the general topic is. > the smb device working (it worked with 4.7).

Re: bandwidth prioritization
Hi, Thanks for the tips. I made a modification to the rules as follows: #My Max Upload Speed ipfw pipe 1 config bw 21Kbyte/s queue 10Kbytes #high priority queue ipfw queue 1 config weight 100 pipe 1 #low priority queue ipfw queue 2 config weight 1 pipe 1 #speed up small packets - priority queue ipfw add queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 40 out #secondary queue ipfw add queue 2 ip from me to any src-port 20,21,80,49152-65535 out While having these rules are better than nothing, I don't see the speed improvement that the ACK method with ALTQ has. When my rules are off my download drops to about 10kBytes/s. With the rules on it's not as bad, but still only 40kBytes vs 150+ during zero upload. Note, I got the iplen 40 by looking at my rules and playing around with lengths. For me during transfers iplen 40 is the most common so it simplified my rules. If anyone knows how to improve this ruleset... :) - Will - Original Message - From: "Pascal Giannakakis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pascal Giannakakis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "William Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 3:45 PM Subject: Re: bandwidth prioritization > Pascal Giannakakis schrieb: > >>Hi there, > >> > >>I read this and I was wondering if anyone has done this with ipfw & > >>dummynet. > >> > >>http://www.benzedrine.cx/ackpri.html > >> > >>Thanks, > >>- Will > >> > >> > >>To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > >> > > > > > > Hi there, > > > > i haved asked this question some time ago and got a reply to my personal > > account.

RE: Moved anonymous ftproot, any security concerns? (Is there a reason why my question went unanswered?)
I recently reinstalled FreeBSD and i am afraid i didnt think to take the fact that i wanted to mirror freebsd isos and the ports collection into consideration. I also forgot that i had a personal library of a few gigs of ebooks. (i started a bad habit years ago of keeping my www root in /var. I have yet to kick that habit because all my configs and web scripts point to /var/www/html. heh. In short, i made var quite tiny and bit myself in the butt.. =[ [labs] /# df -m /var Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1d 3671 2840 53884%/var [labs] /# awww sh*t. I moved the ftp directory previously in /var to /usr/ and i edited master.passwd to point ftp to the right dir and did a pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd.. Ftp seems to be working just fine. My question is, is there some reprocussions of this that i should be weary of? Security issues? I have two 120 gig maxtor drives that i can move ftp too, but /usr isnt all that full cause i made it huge because i mirror the freebsd srces too. and i will never use all that space so it makes more sense to keep it in /usr if i can. keep in mind also this is anonymous ftp we are talking about. thanks. - Free, secure and stable email from UnixHideout "The UnixHideout network" http://www.unixhideout.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
dd *very* slow (0.5KB/s) from IDE to SCSI - longish
SUMMARY: I'm trying to transfer a working 4.7-RELEASE from an IDE disk to a SCSI disk using dd, but transfer of <3GB will take ~16 hours :o( uname -a: FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 9 15:08:34 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 (PII 300MHz Digital 3500 workstation, 384MB RAM.) Some device details: IDE: ad2 Western Digital 3GB (couldn't route cable to primary IDE) ata1-master UDMA33 acd0 Toshiba CD-ROM ata0-master PIO4 SCSI: ahc0 Adaptec 2940 Host Adapter (ID7) sa0 Sony SDT-5000 3.31 (DDS2 DAT drive) 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8) (ID6) da0 Western Digital 4360 4GB hard disk 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15), Tagged Queueing Enabled (ID0) The original install was done on ad2, then I came by the SCSI drive and wanted to do a Ghost-style replication and just use the SCSI disk. After performing a full scan and low-level format of the SCSI disk from the adapter BIOS, I started a CD install (to quickly auto-setup the partitions/slices), and then aborted (system reset) once the partitions were defined and the disk was bootable (I think), and transfer of the OS from the CD had begun. Now I'm booting to my IDE drive again (no probs). I had hoped to mount the slices (partitions?) one by one on ad0 to /mnt, delete any contents the install had written before the abort, and copy the files over from ad2, but I couldn't mount them (errors either 'incorrect super block' or 'Operation not permitted'). I dropped that idea, but I'd read a post somewhere about dd, I tried... dd if=/dev/ad2 of=/dev/da0 ...now the IDE activity LED has been on solid for about 4hours The dd command was run straight after boot, top says: uptime 4hrs; dd TIME 3m40s (and slowly rising); dd STATE ~95% in PHYSST, 5% RUN; dd CPU steady around 0.9% (only other running process is top) iostat -w 1 da0 ad2 says: 0.50KB/transfer at 120 tps for da0 and ad2 (Steady, exact same figures for both so the data *is* moving). Impractical, so ctrl-c dd: 1825499+0 records in 1825498+0 records out 934654976 bytes transferred in 15275 secs (61185 bytes/sec) ...about 900MB has transferred Can you tell me... 1) Why the transfer is so slow? 2) What the process state 'physst' is (some kind of wait state)? 3) A better way to 'Ghost' the drive? (Couldn't get g4u diskette to boot; and even if dd works I'll have 1GB unused on da0, I think?) Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hello ! I tried to install FreeBSD on my computer, but I failed in the worst way I could: I didn't take serious your advise to back-up my data... Well, I tried to install FreeBSD on a partition on my IDE drive. I must say that I had 4 partitions on a harddrive with 20GB. I used fdimage to make the two floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp). I started the intallation process with kern.flp, then with mfsroot.flp and I entered in sysinstall. I begun a standard installation and I created a slice (after I made unused a DOS partition). Then I installed the FreeBSD boot manager (this is the only thing working know) and I tried to install the minimal distributions from a DOS partition. I downloaded from ftp server the entire subdirectory "base" from the 5.0 release directory and I copied into C:\FreeBSD. The installation ended soon with this message: "Error mounting /dev/ad0s3 on /dist: operation not supported by device(19)" After I clicked on OK buton, another message appeared: "Unable to initialize selected media. Would you like to adjust your media configuration and try again?" Another thing: the first kernel configuration menu did not appear; that's why I did not configured any of the drivers. My questions are: "What should I do ?" "Is there a list with all the files (and what are they doing) and directories needed for installation?" - I must say that all the documentation (the handbook) I downloaded is gone...and I'm using just a dial-up connection.

bootup without keyboard connected
I am trying to build my kernel on v5.0 as I did on my v4.5 so that it can bootup without a keyboard connected and wont unload the keyboard driver. This is so I can connect a keyboard on the running system and it will work. I successfully did it by removing the flags for the atkbd which forces the unload if no keyboard is found. But the new kernel configuration on v5.0 is different and I can't figure out how to accomplish the same thing. V5.0 doesn't seem to be documented much and therefore I wasn't able to quickly figure out how the new configuration works. I'm sure it has to do with using the *.hints file though but my tries didn't work. Help! = - Grant Conklin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.conkkids.com/ - __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

You can always find out the version of the installed tcpdump and libpcap by running: % tcpdump -V The first two lines should tell you what you want to know. The 3.7.2 fixes were imported to FreeBSD -STABLE on March 3 by Bill Fenner. If you CVSup and rebuild your system from sources after that date you'll be set to go. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Auto-sizing is not perfect for everyone, especially people running large mail servers or database servers which require lots of space in /var. > We need to reallocate space from ad0s1f and give it to ad0s1e > preferably with out rebuilding the machine. > > I am thinking of paxing /var to /usr/var, then unmounting /var > and symlinking /usr/var to /var as an interim step What is your main consumer of space in /var? One trick I've often done is create a /usr/var2 directory, move stuff from /var into /usr/var2 (such as /var/log and /var/mail) and then symlink the directories from /var over to /usr/var2. > But I would like them to remain on separate better sized slices Then your only choice is to backup, re-splice and restore. -- Matt Emmerton This Email has been scanned for Viruses by MailMarshal.
