First off, welcome to FreeBSD. To add to what the others have stated, take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/announce.html Basically, you would use the DVD image or if you only have a CD drive, just 'disc1.iso'. If you need additional packages and don't have an internet connection on the machine you are installing FreeBSD, then you may want to get disc2 and disc3 as they contain other, third party, packages ready for use with FreeBSD.

You can't kill a process with a D flag. Google for uninterruptible sleep There is a rare exception that doesn't always work. But you can find processes that have locked onto that mount point and kill those. Then try unmounting or killing that NFS mount. Get lsof in /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof and see what's keeping that mount point open. Then kill those processes. But again, this may not work.

Re: How to Update my Freebsd packages kernel and Core
First off, welcome to FreeBSD. As the others stated, FreeBSD is quite different in that there is a distinction between installing/updating 3rd party software (called ports), or the base operating system (kernel and system). There are multiple ways to update the base system and kernel as well as the ports. You can choose to do binary installs or build from source. I prefer building from source when installing ports or updating the kernel/system since I like to control everything. One great thing about FreeBSD is that there are multiple ways to do things so find what you feel best suits your needs and use it. The handbook is the best place to start: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ I recommend you look at the following sections: Installing and managing ports: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html Updating ports and the operating system (kernel/system): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html -- Jacques Manukyan Panos wrote: Hello I'm new to Freebsd and I would like to know if there is anything like apt-get for upgrating everything in my Freebsd.

Re: 2 - more ftp accounts into same folder
This sounds like a permission issue. Each user on the sub-folders (folder1, folder2, etc) need to be able to get into the /mnt folder within the OS. What is the permission on the /mnt directory? Try setting it to 755 and see if that works. Also, you can start pure-ftpd in debug mode to capture the actual error. Look at the pure-ftd.conf file or add the -d option to the daemon for debug information. -- Jacques Manukyan Vasadi I.

Re: 6.x - 7.1
There shouldn't be any problems with the upgrade. I recommend you read over the following section in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html Also, since this is your first time doing this, I'd recommend you get an extra machine and install your current environment on it. Then try upgrading it as per the handbook.

Re: / partition full
Definitely take a look at the /usr/home directory like Mehul stated. Try something like this to get a list of large files in that file system: find /usr -type f -size +50M -exec ls -la {} \; or find /usr/home -type f -size +50M -exec ls -la {} \; The above commands will print out a list of files above 50 Megs. Also, you might have large log files lying around the file system taking up space. -- Jacques Manukyan Mehul Ved wrote: On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 6:06 PM, Warren Liddell shin...@maydias.com wrote: Thanks that gave me what i needed .. now i goto figure out what i can del an what not to .. never had a prob with / filling up before *g* enterprise# du -h -d 1 / 537G/usr 538G/ Pretty easy to figure out where the problem is.
