I was just wondering if you can download FreeBSD on DVD ISO, rather than cd images. Quinn. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ACPI
Hello list. I am running FreeBSD 5.3 AMD64. It however, won't boot when I leave ACPI installed. Is this a bios issue? (Epox 8kda3+ AMD64).

Partitioning
Help! FreeBSDamsel in distress. I'm just starting out with this OS and already running into a problem. Initially I installed FreeBSD onto a seperate hdd but that died. I have a 120gig drive, that i want to partition into two 10gig drives, one for windows, one FreeBSD 1 gig for BSD swap and the rest ntfs data space. Anyone got a quick guide to this?

There don't seem to be that many people uploading it from me at the moment. I'm impressed, .nbco Why do you download with bittorrent as opposed to FTP?

HDD space
Hello all. I have a 120gig drive i'm trying to install freeBSD onto the end of. i have two 51gig windows slices, and one unformatted slice of 10gig. FreeBSD is reporting this as only about 5 gig, after it recommends its own settings. I have tried to set it as per the BIOS, but this doesn't seem to help. Any ideas.

Re: WIN2000 FreeBSD
At 11:06 PM 28/06/2003 +0400, you wrote: How can I install WIN2000 and FreeBSD on one machine. The reason is in this: the FreeBSD loader cannot see WIN2000 fs, and WIN 2000 loader can't see FreEBSD fs. If you can, send me your reply in russian :) Firstly, freebsd can see NTFS, but not write to it. You need to partition up your hard drive, 1 for windows, and several for FreeBSD (Read more in the Handbook). I have them on two seperate hard disks, and use the 'gag' bootloader on my primary drive, with windows 2000, which will reconises both partitions and loads the appropriate one.

New Motherboard
Hello all I recently purchased a new motherboard for my computer (epox 8rda+), and being that I am just learning how to use FreeBSD, didn't think about the necessary changes to fstab. FreeBSD asks when it's booting for the root partition or something, and would like me to enter it in manually. How do I go about finding out the address I'm meant to give it. Any help / articles on this matter would be appreciated. Regards, Quinn To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Can someone point me in the right direction for help on email? Just a nudge in the right direction would be most helpful. I am in the same boat, and just use my ISP smtp and pop3 server through kde's KMail, and leave setting up a mail server to those who would use it. And there's no need to apologize for using your choice of email client.

Adding hardware for driver developers
How does one add a piece of hardware to the list of ones for developers to design drivers for. I know FreeBSD supports similar chipsets from this company, and cards, but not exactly my one.

Generally hardware support is added by users of the hardware. --Adam I have no programming skills, and am just learning FreeBSD as an alternative to other evils. I tried to email this list before, buy my email never showed up for some reason. I have just purchased a Videologic SonicXplosion, which is a rebadged Terratec SixPack. It uses the CS4630 chipset, which doesn't appear to be supported, or mentioned in the documentation. The csa bridge driver allows the generic audio drivers including pcm(4) to attach to the following PCI sound cards: o Crystal Semiconductor CS461x/462x Audio Accelerator o Crystal Semiconductor CS428x Audio Controller Some onboard CS4610 chips accompany with not CS4297 AC97 codec but CS423x ISA codec. Such the configuration is not supported by csa yet. Regards, Quinn Ellis To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Asus Message LED
Asus boards have a System message LED. It says in the manual it requires an ACPI OS. (I am using an ASUS a7v I was curious as to whether or not this could be done under FreeBSD, and whether or not people have got this working under any other OS/programs.
