I have installed PC-BSD on a netbook. I have not played around on it a
whole bunch, so I'm definitely not an expert. They really did a good job
with it, PC-BSD has a more compelling visual experience. For a novice
computer user it's a great way to have the experience of true Unix without
ending up resorting to angry language on the mailing lists. For more
experienced users it seems like it would be a robust platform for such as
scientific research, medical systems developers, manufacturing control,
process coordination and shop floor machine operation.

On my Eee Pc Netbook I had some difficulty with the X configuration tool,
which must be run in order to launch the desktop. I chose to install the
Xfce desktop suite of the several choices available in the selection. The
prompt display was pristine, yet the X test suffered some malfunction no
matter which setting I tried. When I was able to launch the desktop, the
display was off kilter and extremely difficult to navigate. This obstacle
was overcome by manually updating the X configuration file. There are
numerous resources available online for troubleshooting these kinds of
problems.

The system seems to be solid, so I'd be surprised if it offers the thrill
of compiling your own operating system. But there are compiling tools
available so one could presumably pull the source and do a build.

Building a PBI package does indeed seem to be much more involved than
making a package. A package build is straightforward and takes little
effort to create a Makefile in the case that your intended software does
not happen to already be in the ports collection. Also, the package system
offers a way to easily synchronize software updates across many machines.
After a package is built an

Sorry for offtopic, but for Ivan to know three things:
1) building software (and/or packaging it using PBI/tbz) is WAY more
complicated then just downloading distfiles from some mirror.
2) PC-BSD is BASED on but not EQUAL to FreeBSD and has it's own
mailing lists which can easily be found here -

basically (i suppose) should begin with FreeBSD's Handbook which
carefully explains what ports are and how to use them. This page is a

I'm not sure how building PBI files is going to help with your 135G of
files from Russia that won't seem to fit on your drive, however there is
some pbi software in ports for you to check out..

ports-mgmt/pbi-manager
sysutils/pbimaker
x11-fm/pbi-thumbnailer
sysutils/easypbi


I've experimented a bit with the software on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT and
PC-BSD 9 machine - but I'm not an authority on the subject ;-) ... pbi
could prove to be a good way to test out stuff that needs newer glib, gtk,
etc, to avoid royally dorking up your system, like for example GIMP
development sources from cvs, as an alternative to building in a jail and
running the display through an X 'remote' connection.

I assume it's better to ask PBI-related questions in PC-BSD's
web forum as those are not exactly "native FreeBSD things".

Binding IP adress to opensmtpd

2012-09-08 Thread carlopmart

Hi all,

 I have installed opensmtpd on my FreeBSD 8.3. All works ok, except I 
can't bind smtpd to specific IP address ... In this box, I am using 3 ip 
aliases, but smtpd sends all emails using the first IP.


 Is it possible to configure this?? I have tried to fix with hostname 
option, without result ...


Thanks,

Well, basically, you can mount your usb HDD as distfiles directory
under /usr/ports.
That would be something like
mount -t YOUR_USB_HDD_FILE_SYSTEM /dev/YOUR_USB_HDD /usr/ports/distfiles.
Also note that not only distfiles are required, your ports tree must
be in sync with distfiles directory (same versions, names and
sizes/checksumms).
Cheers.

Re: FreeBSD Install Problem

2012-09-08 Thread Devin Teske
Not saying your suggestion won't work but…

The last time I had to flip the SATA mode in a BIOS to Compatibility (sometimes 
labeled "Legacy" or "IDE" mode) was when I was installing FreeBSD-4.11 on an 
Intel S5000PSL/R.

I don't think I've come across a machine that required me to change the SATA 
mode before installing FreeBSD 9.

The OP may have said he tried sysinstall approaches but unless he specifically 
said he tried Druid, it actually implies he was comparing FreeBSD 8 media to 
FreeBSD 9's. This is naturally not a fair fight because both install media are 
using different kernels.

That's why I recommend that you try a sysinstall based installer that's 
actually built from/for 9.0-RELEASE. It will boot with a 9.0 kernel and use 
sysinstall to automatically set up the system.

Trying FreeBSD Druid will put the two installers (sysinstall v bsdinstall) on 
the same ground using the same kernel, so we'll be able to tell if its your 
hardware or the installer.
