Hello Victor, On your place I'll just create msdos partition and install FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/) there.

As a user of multiple operating systems..Freebsd, Windows 98, 2000, XP and XP 64, Linux and apple I thought i might throw in a remark or two which is intended to help a newcomer to a freebsd world. First lets think of the MS windows user. As a newcomer to a unix OS, such as freebsd, you are faced with two very large sets of challenges or, as I would like you to think of it, educational opportunities. Because the vendor of the operating system is also the vendor of major applications, including its most commonly used browser, office applicatiions and compiler systems non-technically minded users do not easily have a clear grasp of the distinction between the roles of an OS and the role of applications. To use any Unix system effectively a clear and reasonably detailed understanding of the way applications interact with the operating system is essential. For its own commercial reasons Microoft are keen to blur that distinction in the minds of its users to maintain a false notion that only MS windows can fulfill its user's needs. Secondly because MS windows operates in a commercial environment it fosters a dependency culture in which you pay for your OS, you pay for your applications and in return you EXPECT a level of support and therefore users are not encouraged to extend their capabilities beyond understanding the applications they use. In the freebsd world most applications and utilities are there for installing without charge. The users include people who develop and everyone partakes in a foem of voluntary mutual support. It is a world in which expectation of support is anathema and in which a combination of striving for greater personal comeptency and voluntary sharing of knowledge and responsibility is the dominant ethos. So if you plan a move to the unix be ready to learn to build a greater understanding of how the operating system works, how applications are installed and maintained and above all to realize your basic needs will not be fulfilled in the same way as they are fulfilled in MS windows and that that you will need to put in a lot of effort to understand how to benefit from the much greater opportunities provided by OS's such as Freebsd. So your first first set of educational opportunities are to learn how reconstruct your expectations and to construct a set of relationships that will work for you in a unix world. The second set of educational opportunities are to study the practicalities. You need to decide the basic things you need to get on board freebsd. You need a browser.. that is no problem there are many to choose from .. you need office tools well there is a complete office suite. Whatever you need there will be a tool for you and the choices are a rich but usually free!!. The draw back is being faced with the challenge of learning how to choose. That is daunting challenge and those of us who are familiar with unix system, and accustomed to communicating with other freebsd users, are often guilty of failing to understand that people who come from an MS Windows find the terse ways in which we tend to communicate to be abrasive. My suggestion to you would be to proceed without risk. Dabble with freebsd alongside your MSWindows system until you reach the point at which you are ready or not (as the case may be) to change over completely. You do not need the latest hardware to get started. Freebsd is much less bloated and, in that respect, more efficient than MS windows. Follow the instructions and play with the system and see where you want to go with it. Like countries all IT systems and applications have their own language. MS windows has its own language !! Every territory has a language needed to discuss its inhabitants understandings. If you use the pejorative term jargon to describe a language you will need to learn you will never learn to adjust. I recomend you treat this adjustment process is an educational opportunity. If you are not willing to learn the words that describe how a world that is new to you functions then, like a immigrant in a foreign land, you will not feel you understand either the practical systems or the cultiure of your environment. You will not find anyone here wanting to sell you the system!! The unix world does not work like that. Those of us who have used unix since before MSDos was developed do not easily realize just how difficult the adjustment can be for those whose experience

it is a 6.2-Stable.
They have a great Package Manager who takes care of all dependencies and other

mysqldump/gzip shell scripting question...
Hey all, First off, I don't care if you send example in perl, php, or sh, but we're not a python shop here, so those recommendation will not be useful... I'm trying to write a shell script that scans our databases for tables starting with archive_ which are created by other scripts/ departments, etc. This script needs to perform a mysqldump of that table, and then gzip it. It's MUCH quick to pipe directly to gzip, than perform the dump, then gzip that. The problem is, this table to filesystem dump is also going to drop those archive_* tables. We would like to know that the mysqldump worked before we do this. The problem we're having, as I'm sure others have run into (at least according to Google), is that a command such as the following leaves no apparent easy way to capture the exit status of the mysqldump command: # mysqldump -u $USER -p$PASS $DBHOST $DATABASE $TABLE | gzip $TABLE.sql.gz Anyone have any good recommendations?

Thanks! Eric Crist perldoc DBI if you want to access the database info directly from Perl (as opposed to mysqldump). Honestly, you're going to have to dig through some information in the API, and fish out the MySQL interfaces, but Perl or some other structured query API is probably a decent bet for what you want to do (unless you have a lot of data, in which I suggest using C equivalent methods or maybe Python if you want to stick with a scripting language), because it provides you with information and return statuses that straight mysqldump may not provide. Plus with Perl (at least) you could pipe file reading through an alternate method to ensure that things passed by searching the output for particular keys, etc. PHP also supports DB access methods though. Bourne/tcsh shell equivalent solutions would be kludgy and ill built for what you're trying to accomplish IMO.

Unless you're dumping an unmounted filesystem, add '-L' and '-h 0'. The
first is for dumping a snapshot of a live filesystem, and the second one
is to honor the nodump flag for level 0 dumps.
Does zipping the dumps cause any headaches at restore time?
Nope: bzcat date_filesystem.dump.bz2 | restore ... -f -
(I currently dump 5 servers worth of data to a raid 5 array, and am about
20% away from running out of disk space).
Does gzipping a file give a decent compression ratio?
Depends on what you're compressing, but generally yes. bzip2 generally
compresses better but takes a lot more time, CPU and memory at compression
time.
Some time ago I did some tests. Compression with gzip saved 50-60% on
dumps of /, /usr and /var. However, the savings for my /home partition
which contains a lot of digital camera pictures in JPEG format was only
11%.
While bzip2 did 8-10% better (except on /home), it takes a _lot_
longer. So at first I decided to stick with gzip.
Later I decided to skip compression altogether. If the backup medium
becomes corrupted, you might still be able to restore the dump for a
large part. Corruption in a compressed file makes the rest of the file
unreadable.
If you don't compress the dumps, it's easy to split them in multiple DVD
sized parts. The size of a dump is given in kiB, and it must be a
multiple of the block size, which defaults to 10 kiB. A DVD is 4.7 GB =
(4.7e9/1024//10)*10 = 4589840 kiB. The following command creates
a dump of /home in multiple DVD-sized chunks;
dump -0 -B 4589840 -C 8 -P 'cat - home-vol${DUMP_VOLUME}.dump' -h 0 -L /home
You can burn these chunks to DVDs with growisofs, e.g:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=home-vol0.dump
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=home-vol1.dump
...
In this case you do need temporary storage for the dump files. You could
conveivably modify the argument of -P to burn directly with growisofs.
One caution for backups though. Use only programs that are available on
a install CD or in /rescue. Your restore process should not depend on a
port that you need to install first!

Share folder over internet
Hi All, Here is a problem that I cannot solve. I have two offices with two file servers (FreeBSD 6.1). Clients are accessing files over samba and nfs (on the local server). I would like to share some directory structures between the two offices. Originally I was thinking about sshfs (mount_sshfs) but I cannot compile fuse from the ports. NFS cannot share subdirectories, only whole filesystems and it is not secure to use over the internet. Security inside the LAN is not important. Most of these folders are put everything into it type, e.g. anyone can do anything with them. The users usually store doc, pdf, xls/gnumeric and txt files in them. I'm not interested in solutions where the end user needs to use a special program to access the files. For example, gftp is not an option. This is because these users sometimes does not know what a file is. I need nautilus integration, and mounting/mapping so the files can be opened from any program using file/open. What should I use?

The Elephant file system
Hi, I was doing some research for file systems at work and came across some semi-technical papers on a file system called elephant. Since this paper mentions that the designers first tried their implementation on FreeBSD 2.2.7, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has ever heard of this file system. If so, is this something that is available in FreeBSD or is this just an interesting academic exercise? If this isn't is use, why? Also, if not in use, is there another file system (by another name) that does something similar? This file system sounds like a great idea.

Re: Share folder over internet
Unless I'm very confused, BSD NFS can export directories and directory trees in addition to filesystems. See export(5). Internet security should be attainable with an appropriate firewall configuration that allows the servers to only talk to each other. IMHO you can export directory trees (-alldirs option), but if you do that then you can list each file system in /etc/exports only once. So it is impossible to export some (different) directories from a filesystem, but not others. But again, this is not a big problem when I use a VPN connection between the two file servers only. Coda is looks VERY interesting! :-) Two key features: high performance through client side persistent caching continued operation during partial network failures in server network Promising.

I hope the documentation has improved. Note the client runs on the local file server, so you don't need to change anything on end-users' workstations. If it really has client side caching then it can be better than NFS. However, I just found this on their official website: snip There were several sweeping changes in freebsd, and in the case where the developers didn't exactly know how to solve it for Coda, they just removed the related code. For instance, they don't support vget with a device/inode number pair anymore, so they simply removed the complete coda_open codepath.

I hope the documentation has improved. Note the client runs on the local file server, so you don't need to change anything on end-users' workstations. If it really has client side caching then it can be better than NFS. However, I just found this on their official website: snip There were several sweeping changes in freebsd, and in the case where the developers didn't exactly know how to solve it for Coda, they just removed the related code. For instance, they don't support vget with a device/inode number pair anymore, so they simply removed the complete coda_open codepath. As a result it is impossible to open any files or directories in /coda with the current fbsd kernel module. /snip Like most of their documentation, that seems to be out of date. According to their codebase, that particular issue was fixed a few months ago. But I certainly wouldn't trust Coda (on ANY platform) for production use without a bunch of testing. Which is too bad, it seems like a neat solution looking for problems to solve.

Swap size
I was reading tuning(7), and I found that I should size my swap double the size of my physical memory. AFAIK that was true some years ago, when memory was not as cheap as now, and following that guideline I should set my swap to 2GB, which seems far too much for swap (at least to me ...). I will never need this much memory as 1GB RAM and 2GB swap. Is it still correct ? How can I resize with bsdlabel if I already used all my disk space during install ?

How can I resize with bsdlabel if I already used all my disk space during install ? With a bit of work you can grow partitions (see growfs), but you cannot shrink them.

TIA, ngw From what I understand, the reasoning behind the math is that, if you have a kernel dump, there's enough room in swap to put the entire core into swap (so it's there when you've rebooted), and that there's enough room left in swap to allow the system to reboot, so you can debug. If you're not worried about your .core files, then I wouldn't worry about the math of 2xmemory.

vlc won't play region encoded DVDs
Hello, I'm running VLC 0.8.5 on FreeBSD 6.2. I was under the impression that VLC ignored region-encoding when playing DVDs, but this is apparently not the case on my BSD box. Most of the American DVDs I try to play gets a region encoding error and quits. I have no problems with foreign DVDs (from other countries). Is this standard behavior for VLC on BSD or am I doing something wrong? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hi Laszlo,
search the archives of this list - there are several threads explaining how to
get either linux-firefox of firefox running with both flash and java. Once
you've read them and attempted the steps described, if you have any other

Skype does not work
very well with FreeBSD, only in linux compat mode etc.
net/skype is skype 1.2.8 for linux works fine - within the limitations of what
skype had back @ the 1.2 version.
net/skype-dev is the latest linux beta from skype themselves. It works fine
except for sound, as it supports only ALSA. Again, search the archives (I think
either here or in multimedia@ ) for references to this.
It is hardly the freebsd community's fault that Skype / Ebay doesn't create a
FreeBSD binary. Actually, the linux compatibility layer is one of the great
things in FreeBSD. Of course, you may be having other issues we can't know
about until you kindly tell us (on a separate thread pls...)
