Something like this (not even tested, but quite verbose and unelegant) should work: #!/bin/sh NODE=0 for IMAGE in /mount/disc_images/*.iso; do mdconfig -a -t vnode -u $NODE -f $IMAGE mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/md$NODE /mount/office_files/images/`basename $IMAGE .iso` NODE=`expr $NODE + 1` done This of course assumes that you have PROPER file names. In case the ISO file names contain special characters, attention has to be paid for quoting and escaping. Worth reading: http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/filenames-in-shell.html http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/fixing-unix-linux-filenames.html After reading it, you'll easily recognize that I did it wrong in the suggestive script. :-) I'm not sure if you can mount from ISO files directly, but maybe you can try that too.

Hi Ryan, You can put something like this in /etc/rc.conf to get the device files created automatically: mdconfig_md0="-t vnode -f /mount/disc_images/Image1.iso" mdconfig_md1="-t vnode -f /mount/disc_images/Image2.iso" mdconfig_md2="-t vnode -f /mount/disc_images/Image3.iso" Because these devices (/dev/md0, /dev/md1, /dev/md2) will be created before /etc/fstab is processed, you can then add the following entries in that file: /dev/md0/mount/office_files/images/Image1cd9660ro00 /dev/md1/mount/office_files/images/Image2cd9660ro00 /dev/md2/mount/office_files/images/Image3cd9660ro00 Check out the rc(8) man page (http://bit.ly/fuwn5n) for more information about how the startup scripts work, as well as the one that processes the device creation directives above - /etc/rc.d/mdconfig Finally, you can always add your own custom startup scripts to /usr/local/etc/rc.d if you need to do something that the standard startup scripts can't handle.

The chromium port does not require Linux emulation. Generally, I prefer chrome over firefox from the standpoint of performance and reliability, but the security issues in the port have put me off it. Meanwhile, I've become rather dependent on the Vimperator and GreaseMonkey extensions for Firefox, so I'm unlikely to change back to chrome even when its security issues are finally sorted. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://chipsquips.com | http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

One has to remember that USB is just the bus just like pci, microchannel, etc. Even though you have access to the device on the bus you still need a driver for that specific ethernet chip your kernel. This is analogous to having a video card on the pci bus, you still need for the kernel to drive the specific chipset of the card regardless if it can see it on the bus. I have an HTC Nexus One so I may fiddle with this and see if I can help some more here. I am wishful that at least we can get a tty just like other gsm modems and from there it's pretty straight forward using wvdial or alike. If it's only the Ethernet over usb like you mention, then the chipset driver would have to be translated/ported to the FBSD kernel, if it's not already there ? Ok. But I will clarify here: The HTC Android systems uses an "Internet Sharing" feature- essentially Google has coded in routing/nat system into the base OS (probably moding the leftover code already in the linux base), and is trying to allow similar using bluetooth and wifi at a later date as well. The RNDIS is a M$ system that allows sharing anything over USB (network, files, etc- but all essentially operated as network anyway), something they've been playing with for some years- I was looking for an A-A USB cable since around 2003 or so to quickly transfer files when needed. Apparently M$ opened the specs a year or two ago and everyone's jumped on to use it. So where Google started was to start allowing the use of the router/nat via RNDIS USB - somehow this was easier than allowing bluetooth or wifi (probably security and available hardware features). So yes, apparently the phone hooks up as a usb mass storage device, uploads a file to the computer, and disconnects and becomes a network device.

What would be my next step to make this work? OpenMoko have something similar and I tried moding some of their scripts (they've made theirs work with ALL OS- not just linux and Winblow$! Take heed manufacturers!) but it didn't mesh on the Android. I still end up with a generic host. As I mentioned, I tried modifying the cdce driver and the device list but that didn't help either, so when I moded the scripts and devd.conf I figured that was the missing piece of my puzzle. I'd actually pay someone to do this, but I do need to figure this out for myself anyway so I'm diving in deep and going to keep on struggling till I get it.

Banks, insurances, digital signature services etc. Still frequently use Java as carrier for their services. Often this cannot be changed easily as such organizations have long turn-around times and make investments in the long term. Java is still very much alive, and until html5 can validate and run signed code it'll stay that way even on the client. And that is just one of the reasons/scenarios. I'm not using FreeBSD on the desktop for just this kind o reasons. I'm sure it would be a great choice in an ideal world but we are unfortunately living in a real one. So either one takes the time to implement what people _need_ in addition to what you would prefer them to need, or the desktop can as well be ditched and focus moved to improving FreeBSD for servers, where it already excels. /Eirik I've been running FreeBSD as my sole desktop since 5.2.1. I bank and shop online. I do not have either Java or Flash installed. I have yet to find any functionality missing because of the lack of Java. Some sites make accessing them difficult without Flash, but I consider that their problem and move on. FreeBSD isn't just good for servers.
