Minimum base and X footprint
Lo all, I recently obtained a 486/75 toshiba satellite laptop. It has a 300MB HD in it. I have debian installed on it currently with basic networking tools, nmap, netcat, dig, whois, traceroute, tcpdump, etc... I also have X, fluxbox Epic4, Links, ssh, vim and a few other progies. I was wondering what the minimum footprint I could get for a base, basic networking tools and X install. I'd rather run free on my lappy cause I'm sure it'll be much more responsive that way. How much can I shoehorn on a 300MB HD in FreeBSD and will my 28M memory give me any unexpected issues? thanks l8tr2000 __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

HowTo repair my console fonts/kbd ?

How to install gnucash in Gnome2 environment
I have successfully installed Gnome2 and have got a majority of my applications going. However, I want to continue to use gnucash. On doing a portinstall of gnucash 1.8.4 I noted that gnome1, and gnumeric1 was being installed as dependencies. I aborted the install process expecting that to continue would corrupt my gnome2 libraries, as the two are incompatible.

diskless: FBSD 5.1 fails, 5.0 and 4.8 do it
Hello. Our setup for a cluster and a bunch of diskless terminals utilizes a DHCP and NFS server to do the job. Each client boots via PXE (Intel NICs) and then mounts its root filesystem via NFS. This setup works now for a really long time but it doesn't with rcNG!! Using the new style setup with RCNG exclusively the cient boots its kernel and then fails working on the rc-scripts. I figured out that the client does not recognize whether it is diskless or not. Doing so with the old style rc.diskless scripts works perfect. I became aware of the problem when changing the setup from old style rc scripts towards rc_ng. After mounting root FS, the client operates on /rootpath/etc/rc script and should then recognize it is diskless and therefore switch to rc.d/diskless and rc.d/initdiskless. These two special scripts should then merge conf/base/etc. conf/default/etc and conf/IP/etc together. This worked in 4.8 and 5.0 and it still works when using the old 4.8/5.0 rc.xxx script stuff together with the new 5.1 binaries and kernel. But nothing works with rc-ng only. No memory disk gets created, no merging is done, no diskless tasks are performed. The process remains in the read only root filesystem and fails. I am sure the RCNG script does not recognize a diskless operation while with the same kernel the old style rc-system does. has anyone the same problem? Can anyone help? What's different with the new RCNG system to get it working? Thanks in advance, Oliver -- MfG O.

For starters, you only need to download the first iso. When you burn it onto a CD-ROM, you have to use the burn as an image option. All CD burners will do this.

From what you've said you have natd enabled,instead of redirecting with ipfw you shoud redirect with natd!man natd On Mon, 16 Jun 2003 09:41:05 +1000 Andrew Thomson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, Jun 13, 2003 at 09:47:09AM -0400, Bill Moran wrote: Yes.

Moving users
Hi, I need to move users from one machine to another and keep their passwords intact. I've added a test user to Server-Source and a test user to Server-Destination and copied the password hash from /etc/master.password on Server-Source and pasted it into master.password on Server-Destination, but the login fails. I've also searched the archive with no luck. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: UNIX programming platform
Dear list, I would like to hear your opinions about your favorite UNIX programming platform. *nix;) The kind of programming I am more interested is system and network programming. Pick one that is accessible to you and dig in. I've found myself liking the BSDs more than the Linuxes, but I am looking for some time to dig into Debian. (Vine and Miracle Linux are presently in use in my office particularly because they provide tools useful in a Japanese environment. Many of those tools are available in freeBSD, but not yet quite as accessible as they are in Japanese-built Linux distributions. We also use Solaris, but that's kind of expensive, and you would likely need no one to suggest it to you if you were in the position to use it.) I am looking for those details that will make my life easier or harder. Then I'd suggest Mac OS X. (This is not your father's Macintosh.) But if you already have an MSWindows box that you want to put to good use, freeBSD is fairly straightforward to get started with, and has a lot of tools/toys to work with. netBSD seems to be good with odd-ball hardware, but you have to know quite a bit about what you're doing to take full advantage of the tools there. (They have some interesting cross-architecture tools, for instance.) If you are already comfortable with installing and configuring, and what you really mean by details is a lean-n-mean system and a tight focus on networking and security, check openBSD out. That's probably the standard take on the more prominent players in the BSD world, but it doesn't do justice to any of it. Start with the one that's handiest for you, but play with the others when you get a chance. (System and _network_ would imply more than one computer, anyway, right?)

Can I delete a partition (or is it a slice?)
I have a chance to get my hands on a 4-GB hard drive that's being replaced by a 40-GB drive. My other machine really needs more space (it also has a 4-GB drive), and I'd like to move the /usr/home slice (or is it partition?) to the new(er) HDD and delete the /usr/home slice from the older drive. I presume the space would then be available to the /usr partition (the two are adjacent and /usr/home was created after /usr). Would deleting the slice cause my partition table to be rewritten with disastrous results? Or would it be better to set up three slices, for /, /var, and /usr, on the new drive, transfer the data from the old drive with backup and restore, backing up the contents of /usr/home to a tarball on the new drive, then repartition the old drive with a single slice, /usr/home, and copy the backup tarball? Also, since these two drives would be on the same cable, would using tar to transfer the data be faster than backup and restore? -- Roger ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
key barriers
Hello, I have a friend who is a Debian Linux user and I have been having a discussion with him about using FreeBSD. He wrote me a list of his concerns with changing to FreeBSD. I don't want to give him any incorrect answers or incorrect information. So could someone more knowledgable than me please give me some precise answers on the following points. Thanks! from email I like that a certain *BSD is getting funding from DARPA; the enhancements I was reading about sounded impressive. The key barrier to FreeBSD is java. I go to http://www.freebsd.org/java/ and the main text says FreeBSD supports 1.1.8, which isn't good enough for my needs. However, there is also a 1.4 link on that page, but that page says the FreeBSD version is currently missing features. This is the second key issue. I know of someone who runs an old open-source OS (about 3 versions behind the current), who doesn't know how to patch his box unless he downloads 4 or so CDs. That box was recently compromised and the fix that person performed was to rebuild the machine with the same old OS, and recover data from tape. I like being able to browse to www.debian.org/security and to know that on certain days as many as 5 patches are released. And that with a single command I can apply all the patches I need. Now, FreeBSD has a similar page freebsd.org/security but it doesn't list as many bugs. Does that mean FreeBSD has fewer holes? Or does it mean it takes longer to fix them in FreeBSD? Or that people are not testing the security of BSD as much as Debian? I don't know. At the top of the debian security page is directions on how to apply all relevent patches. There is no such information on the FreeBSD security page (that I could see, correct me if I am wrong). Instead the directions are attached to the Security Advisory, and involve recompiling your operating-system/kernal and rebooting (at least it did for the two I checked 'openssl' and 'syncookies' SA for 4.8 /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\\ AAFE Audio, Amiga and FreeBSD Enthusiast :p \ http://www.fastmail.fm // ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
VESA modes inexplicably not available on Matrox p750 ?
There is a new matrox card (with triple head support) available - the Matrox Millenium p750. Forget the triple/dual head features - I have not even loaded X yet - I just want a reasonable test console mode to do console work in. Unlike many ATI Rage cards (especially in dell laptops ?) this card does indeed have full VESA support. So, my kernel includes: options VESA options SC_PIXEL_MODE options VGA_WIDTH90 but when I boot up, I see this in my dmesg: # dmesg | grep vesa module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xc034e8a0, 0) error 6 So ... thatisnt good. And when I try to go into theVESA mode, : # vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600 vidcontrol: cannot activate raster display: Operation not supported by device So, if I kldload vesa (grasping at the straw here): # kldload vesa module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xc7fb5620, 0) error 6 # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 14 0xc010 396560 kernel 21 0xc0497000 4a30cacpi.ko 31 0xc7fb2000 5000 vesa.ko So I get the error again, but it is loaded as a module. I try to go 800x600 again: vidcontrol: cannot activate raster display: Operation not supported by device So what is the problem ? I am ready to have 800x600 console support now, so this certainly isn't a problem to wait on. thanks all of you - and let me know if there are addditional data I can post to you about the problem. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Can I delete a partition (or is it a slice?)
Hello, You could simply format the new disk and mount it as /usr/home. However, you would have to mount it elsewhere temporarily to move the real /usr/home data to this new partition. I would really have to see your fstab file to see how you got it set up, but even if you have an existing partition for /usr/home it could be renamed and used for something else. Hope this info helps. Sincerely, Scott Kupferschmidt On Mon, 16 Jun 2003, Roger Merritt wrote: I have a chance to get my hands on a 4-GB hard drive that's being replaced by a 40-GB drive.
