Install Problems
My actual computer, an AMD Duron is actually split on three OS: Windows XP, Mandrake Linux, Slackware Linux I want to check the FREE BSD 5.1 on it but, before, I tested it on my old PC - That is a Pentium based P133, 16 Mo memory, 3 G dd, Windows 95 I firstly gave all the disk to BSD and starting the install. You mention that you need at least 5 Mo for install and 4 Mo to work. It could be in theory. With my 16 Mo after some 17 hours I gave up. The font75DPI package is one that never lasts. So I decided to make a compatibilty test with Windows 95. I made a new partitioning, some 800 Mo for Win95, the rest for BSD.I installed Win95 I choosed a "minimum" install, I was trapped choosing Linux applications, quite long, ending with an error. I re-started, avoiding Linux appli. Install operated in a reasonable short time. -- But, my actual problem is: After install and rebooting I could'nt access BSD neither Windows. I tried, after reinstalling Win, all the modes of booting. MBR, does'nt work in neither OS No change of boot area: freeze all systems, a message displayed : error in intializing OS. The best results: SBR. It displays on booting F1 Dos, F2 BSD But function keys F1 and F2 are simply "screaming" and do'nt have any effect. Frozen. I'm working with an AZERTY keyboard. That's my real problem, the long install pb is obviously due to memory size. And second question: Why Install does'nt make an emergency diskette boot facility ? You have BSD installed, no way to make it work because a BSD problem.

Re: Anjuta and libtools problem
Christian Schüler wrote: This problem may be related to the problem reported in this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-June/049088.html When trying to Autogen a new project, the configure script bails with the message: ... ./ltconfig: Can't open ./ltconfig: No such file or directory configure: error: libtool configure failed I then created an empty ./ltconfig file inside the Project directory. This fixed the Autogen process, but the build is nevertheless broken. When I build a wizard generated test project, I get the following message: ../libtool: Can't open ../libtool: No such file or directory I do believe him that there is no ../libtool. So I tried to change ./ltconfig to contain a line emitting where I have libtool installed, like so #!/bin/sh echo /usr/local/bin and another version #!/bin/sh echo /usr/local/bin/libtool15 however, to no avail. I also tried symlinking libtool to different versions like libtool13 and libtool15, and also copying a libtool executable to ../ relative to the project directory, nothing works. Now I am clueless. Has anyone running Anjuta-1.2.2 on FreeBSD? Might be worth noting that I run xFce, not the complete Gnome package. -chris Greetings! I'm the one that posted the original inquiry regarding my libtool problems, and I think you're experiencing a different kind of problem. It seems to me that your Anjuta does not properly create your project. Why this is, I do not know. Did you install Anjuta from ports, or did you download the sources off of its website? If the latter is true, it may be that whatever generates the scripts (or maybe even the scripts themselves) have hardcoded linuxisms in them. After creating a fresh project (any error messages notwithstanding), what's in the project directory? Could you give an ls of it? And where do you place your project directories? ~/Projects is the default, if I recall correctly. I'm thinking that since the files obviously aren't created it might be a permission problem. Just exhausting the possibilities here. :-) I did find the solution to my initial problem, by the way. I posted a follow-up in reply to myself, but I guess you've already read that. I also have the same problem that you say you found the solution to but i dont know how to pass the cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel argument to the configure script. I get the error that you mentioned in your script when i try to create a project. So at that stage how come there exists a configure script? And also you said autogen.sh creates the configure script. Isn't that file (autogen.sh) also created only then, when i create the project? I dont know much (about anything) about the auto* stuff so that's why my questions could be really stupid. I would also want to configure everything from the gui if possible to make it as painless as possible if you know how.

wine
Hello list, I have been trying to play some games using wine: Counterstrike, Broodwar and Zap (www.opentnl.org) but i've been having some problems. I cant run them in full screen is the first. I think this is because i dont have de XFree86 DGA extension. I am pretty puzzled that i found almost nothing when searching info on the DGA extension as i have the impresion that it's important for aplications to be able to use the entire screen. I use freebsd as a workstation so security is not sole concern. I looked in the XFree86 port Makefile but i did not find any way to compile the DGA extension in my X server. The second problem that i had is more wine related. In all of the 3 games i mentioned i was unable to connect to any network games or host any games that other could see. I posted these problems on the wine mailing list too but it seems that not many freebsd people use wine or play games. This is odd as from what i heard freebsd's power is in it's speed, something that i noticed for my self by using it for desktop aplications. ---- Radu Molnar Babes-Bolyai Comunication Center ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I dont know about you guys but computer games is how i got in touch with IT and i see that is still hapening with kids nowadays. The only reason i still install windows on my desktop is to play games. I would gladly give up the microsoft products and most of my friends would do so too if it wasn't for the reason mentioned above. You may say that games are not important but i must disagree. How can one claim to make an OS for workstations if you can not play games in that OS. Games are the peak of multimedia aplications. Just take a look at the slashdot.org site and you will see that every day the GAMES section has the most new news. If we want an alternative to windows (we wants it) than maybe we should concentrate our energies on making a desktop. But these are just the rambling words of a guy that is frustrated of having to use microsoft operating systems, having to pay a lot of money for them and then getting the quality that we all know. whatever ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

instalation problem (urgent)
I have a problem with FreeBSD instalation. I tried 5.3BETA5 5.2.1 and 4.9 all with the same result. When sysinstall starts i choose custom and proceed to creating the slice and partitions(only one slice and one partion plus swap). I tried two ways. I go to Partition, create the slice on the entire hard drive press q and choose BootMgr. Then i go to label and create my partion and swap. (in both these steps i dont write changes) I choose my distributions and them commit. When i press commit the computer instantly reboots without anything beeing done. After restart i see the slice and partitions but i cant install as get errors. The second way is to write changes when i make the slice and partitions. When making the slice there are no problems. I create it press w and get the message "Wrote FDISK partition information out succesfully." Then i go to label and create the partion and swap. When i press w i get the message "WARNING! Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s1b: Device not configured. This may couse the instalation to fail at some point if you dont have a lot of memory" and then "Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a!

Well, this probably isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but personally I still keep a Windows partition for this explicit reason (games and sound production).

I don't like Windows, but some of the best games will only run on it. It's sort of a pain to reboot just to play Medieval: Total War, for instance, but once the game is over I can reboot into fbsd and have my workstation back, which I sort of like better than having a one-size-fits-all setup. In fact, I'll probably end up building a separate box with a Win installation just for gaming and sound, so I can concentrate on the hardware that will work best for a workstation and some servers using FreeBSD. - jt I tend to agree with this view - i.e. use the right tool for the right job. ``Usually'' this means using Windows for games ...

Symbios scsi and too large ata
Hello I a computer wich has a Symbios scsi controller and a 40G ata drive. Because the computer's bios is too old it does notdetect the 40G drive. So i tried to install FreeBSD on this box and failed miserably. 5.3BETA5 would freeze on boot. Only prints 2 lines or so. Then i tried 4.10. This one booted but doesnt see my scsi drive, only the ata one, on which ofcourse there is no point on instaling the system because it wont boot. I read some documentation and saw that Symbios scsi controllers are supported in both 4.10 and 5.2.1 so i realy dont understand what the problem is. In scsi bios utility it sais that the device uses irq 9. When doing kernel configuration on CLI mode i saw there is a device sio3 that uses the irq 9 but it is not enabled. I also booted OpenBSD on this box and it detected my scsi drive as sd0. But would really prefer running FreeBSD to Open so if you have any ideas pls tell me. And if it is not possible to install the system on the scsi drive maybe some suggestions on how to boot the sistem from the ata drive which doesnt boot(some floppies or smth like that) thanks Radu ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I hope this is the right place to post this.Sorry if it isn't Just some stupid newbie questions: 1) I have an alias made in my .profile alias vi='/usr/local/bin/vim' but the alias is not made when i log in X. If a log in console or using ssh from a remote host the alias is made but when i log in x it is not. Anybody know why? As shell i use bash. 2)In /etc/syslogd.conf i have comented the line #*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console so that i wouldn't get any logs on my first console. But there are some logs that get printed on the first console. They're printed in bright white :) and they appear for example when someone tries to scan for opened ports on my computer. My question is who makes these logs? 3)Why does pine say: [Folder vulnerable - directory /var/mail must have 1777 protection] these are the rights on /var/mail/taipan where taipan is my user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]# ls -l /var/mail/taipan -rw--- 1 taipan wheel 11089 Apr 9 11:08 /var/mail/taipan and alsoe the rights on /var/mail: drwxrwxr-x 2 rootmail 512 Apr 9 11:07 mail That's about it for now.

speed issues
Hello list I have a freebsd 4.9 on my computer wich is conected to a 100Mbps network. When downloading or uploading files from this freebsd using ftp a have decent transfer rates (above 5 MB/s). But in this network we also use DC for file sharing. And using the DC protocol i only get rates below 1MB/s for upload or download. I also get these messages in my first console: Limiting icmp unreach response from 268 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 277 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 268 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 273 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 264 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 272 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 270 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 260 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 264 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 265 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 267 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 246 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 208 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 209 to 200 packets per second Limiting icmp unreach response from 204 to 200 packets per second i tried modifing the value of the sysctl variable net.inet.icmp.icmplim from 200 to 1000 but it had no efect. Do I have to restart for changes to take efect. Or what is the solution to my problem?

Foxconn WLL-3350. So far it's been working very well although I haven't had time to fully test it. It comes with an external antenna, unlike the picture on newegg. hi, can u tell me the brand name of the card is?? thanks!!
