Re: cvsup syntax questions... and what's the difference between branch and release tags?
Why did you add the _0_RELEASE at the end of your src-all, ports-all and doc-all tags? FWIW this is what I use for 5.1 Release and never had any problems except I occasionally change the mirror name if the connection seems bad with one in particular: *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_5_1 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all *default tag=. ports-all doc-all. Good luck!

Re: 3c905b-tx not working
Rather odd. I ONLY use 3c90x NICS on all my machines (FBSD 5.x included) and they work great. What output do you get from running /usr/sbin/ifconfig at the command prompt? You didn't specify whether you were running the GENERIC kernel but I assume this is so. When you installed (assuming you did so through CD-based sysinstall), did you by chance skip the chance to set up network interfaces? If so you can either run sysinstall again (don't need to reinstall the whole system, just choose to set up networking from main menu) or you can do it manually by adding one of these to your /etc/rc.conf: if using dhcp: ifconfig_xl0=dhcp if using manual addressing: ifconfig_xl0=inet your ip address netmask your netmask defaultrouter=ip address of gateway Hope this helps, VS On Wed, 3 Sep 2003 20:48:09 +0900 Steiger, N.

Re: 3c905b-tx not working
Oops. that should have read /sbin/ifconfig not /usr/sbin/ifconfig. Sorry any confusion :) On Wed, 3 Sep 2003 09:00:43 -0400 Val Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Rather odd.

Re: Why people are not satisfied with FreeBSD?
Uh, you're assuming everyone on the list use only one type of machine. For instance, I'm writing this on a Linux box, but have 3 FBSD servers I administer, as well as a small handful of Windows servers I'm responsible for. I also use windows 2000 and XP as well as FBSD and more than 2 distros of Linux at the desktop, from various work and home locations. After hanging out here for six months or so I believe (but can't ultimately prove) that a significant number of people on this list work actively in heterogenous networks.

PMTU discovery?
Hi, I have a quick question and hope it isn't too newb :) Does FBSD support PMTU discovery on ethernet interfaces and, if so, how is it enabled? I've looked in the man pages for both ifconfig and xl but could only seem to find reference to manually setting MTU, not autodiscovery. I know how to set this with windows registry but want it for a FBSD 5.1 workstation as well.

Re: Sound oddity in FreeBSD 5.1
Not sure if this will actually help you but I recall thinking my sound wasn't working after a recent KDE install. Turned out that it was simply installing the desktop without explicit sound assignments for system events (so it merely seemed like sound wasn't working, yet no pop up errors when KDE first started - not what I was used to with default RH installs in times past). First verify that arts is being started automatically (under control center - sounds/multimedia - sound system) While there try the test sound button. Then if everything looks okay go to control center - sounds/multimedia - system notifications and assign/test specific sounds for whatever events you want. Hope the answer to your problem is this simple :) VS On Wed, 02 Jul 2003 03:13:33 -0400 Kosh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I've been using FreeBSD since 4.6 and I just recently upgraded to 5.1 and got curious to see if FreeBSD would support my sound card (Sound Blaster 16) I recompiled the kernel after adding in device pcm in the CUSTOM kernel I first created.

Re: free?

You're essentially free to install it on as many boxes as you want; no draconian product activation nonsense here. Got programming skills? Modify part or all of the OS to suit your needs. Aye it's a thing of beauty...Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. I'm a bit confused -- your website clearly states that freeBSD is a free OS, yet each of the sites that offer the CD charge money for it.
