SanDisk FreeBSD 7.2 p1 install
Aloha, Thanks for the help from the list on installing FreeBSD 7.2 on a Sandisk USB Flash drive. I was able to install the basic FreeBSD files and it rebooted. I used the 7.2 that Manolis created. However there were errors with trying to load the install for xorg. This new xorg is the same version that I have not been able to get to work on my test box either with a regular HDD. That said everything else seems to be there as expected. Thanks for that p1 version for speeding up a default install. I have the test box trying to load an xorg from the main server to correct this issue for me. I will report on if that cures the problem. On the download of 7.2 p1 it said CD-DVD iso. but I think the file is too big for a CD. The only errors were about xorg and associated libs. Can anyone enlighten me on this?. Again thanks to the FreeBSD list support we are making progress. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: n...@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol ___ 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"

I was able to install Xorg and xfce on the HP Mini under FreeBSD 7.2 Sysinstall from main FreeBSD server. Mouse (touch pad) works as root just fine on the screen under Sysinstall tester, but not as user under Xorg. Anybody had success with getting touchpad mouse to work on a netbook. This HP Mini is similar to Ausus EEE. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: n...@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol ___ 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"

If you set hald_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf it finds and sets the correct settings and the mouse works. Hal is improving nicely. Thanks. I discovered that in the HP Mini netbook FreeBSD 7.2 unfortunately does not recognize the Nic's either hard wired or Wlan. Anone know how to find what nics are in this HP MIni? There are no instructions about this with the unit. And I have had no help on the HP Forums. Any body know how I can detect these chips under FreeBSD 7.2.

Yes, that works and shows I have BCM4310 wireless controller. I am new to wireless nic's . How do I load the driver or set this to work under FreeBSD? This FreeBSD is working from a Flash Drive USB using the 7.2 down load that Manolis made for us. The main drive has linux on it and it works with the wlan so I think it will work once I figure how to make FreeBSD see and use it. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: n...@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol ___ 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"

I only have FreeBSD computers here so I havent looked at the CD that came with the Mini. It doesnt say what os it is. It is a HP Mini 1000. In that case you probably want to look for your exact model on this page http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_lang=en&h_cc=us&cc=us&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_pagetype=s-002&h_query=HP+Mini+1000&submit.x=10&submit.y=9 though I checked a few and they all seemed to end up at the same driver so maybe exact model doesn't matter. ndis wants drivers for Windows XP It runs Linux (Ubuntu Debian Hybrid for HP) I am working out of the office today so I will take a look at the suggested links when I get back. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: n...@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol ___ 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"
