Thanks, Erik -- Erik, 1) If you're using a laptop that supports booting from a USB device, you might temporarily install windows on a big, big thumb drive for the purposes of installing your bios update. 2) On the off chance that your update runs under DOS, you can get what you need to create a DOS boot disk from http://www.bootdisk.com/. 3) Bootdisk.com has other boot disk version up to Win XP. Heck, they're free to try 3) Sadly, there's no "Knoppix" version of Windows that boots from a CD but you could temporarily connect a hard disk as a worst case...

Getting Source Code after Installing the Software
I installed FreeBSD on a couple of computers without installing any source code. Now (naturally), I want to get a hold of the kernel source so I can re-compile and enable support for PIM and Multicast Routing. However, I can't figure how to get the source off my CDs. I downloaded the ISO's for Disk 1 and Disk 2 of FreeBSD 6.1--RELEASE. Can anybody tell me where I can find the source code on these disks so I don't have to run a re-installation just to get it??

Multicast/IGMP Join in FreeBSD 6.1
Can anybody tell me how to configure the multicast groups my computer will attempt to join? I when my computers boot, I can see a IGMP join request for 224.0.0.9, but I would like to add more. Any suggestions?

Probably a simple question but...
I believe this is a simple fix, but I sure can't find it. I set up 2 FreeBSD boxes as dual-stack network routers and I'm using them to test an application capable of generating both TCP and UDP messaging. The TCP part of this equation is working great -- my message fly around the network just like they should. However, my routers appear to be eating my multicast UDP packets. The packets are addressed to 225.0.0.41 and static routes for that prefix are defined in both rc.conf files (I only use 1 multicast address, so I don't see a reason to use a multicast routing daemon). Obviously, I don't believe the static route is defined correctly. Can somebody clue me in to the proper method for configuring a FreeBSD computer, functioning as a network router, to accept all packets addressed to 225.0.0.41 on either Ethernet interface and forward them out the other?? (they're RL0 and RL1, lower case.) Do I need to define 2 static routes? Do I need to switch something else on? Thanks for any help, Rich Mayo P.S. It may be significant that when I installed the OS on the computer, there was only 1 NIC present. I added the other one after I got the software running, so it occurs to me that there may be a switch relating to forwarding that's not "ON", but I have no idea where to look for that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Beginner Questions
I'm setting up a FreeBSD box for the first time, so naturally I have a bunch of questions. I'm sure these are addressed on the web somewhere, but I'm not having any luck finding anything so here goes: What file controls the way Xwindows sets up after I log on? I got the graphical login screen, but now I want to start Xwindows with kde rather than twm.
