I'm fairly sure OpenWin did not include Motif, at least initially
(although it may have been added later -- my experience with OpenWin
ended with SunOS 4).  olwm had a look and feel all its own.

I stand corrected. Tab Window Manager it iseither way, I use it because 
it's 
just plain simple and I don't really need all the whistles and bells that come 
with the other WM's. I'm still stuck with using Windows because all my business 
is conducted there and it's got all the bells and whistles one would need.

I went by wikipedia to double-check.

I'm right about the original name.  At some point after twm was included in the 
X11 core distribution, later developers decided to rename it to "Tab Window 
Manager" because they'd changed so much code.  (If they'd done it with Tom's 
OK, 
then I don't have any concern; if they'd just renamed it themselves without 
discussion with the original author, well, I'd find that a bit tacky.)

I remember switching from uwm? to twm around 1990 and finding the later vastly 
more tolerable.  But I also largely switched from X11 to Display Postscript on 
NEXTSTEP or Sun's OpenWin (X11+Motif+DPS extension, IIRC) around then.

twm doesn't stand for "Trivial Window Manager"-- it stands for "Tom's Window 
Manager" because it was written by Tom LaStrange on Sun-3_35 or 3_50 hardware

Weird question: Have you installed xterm yet?  Without a window manager

as 
installed from ports, I believe.)  I'm not sure what it would do if it couldn't

I have installed and configured Xorg many times on several different machines. 
When it installs it comes with twm (Trivial Window Manager) which is the 
default, no frills window manager. It should have installed with the Xorg port. 
If you installed via pkg_add I can't say for sure that tvw installs by default, 
but using the ports it will. Without a window manager, you will see nothing but 
a black graphics screen when you run "startx".

There are loads of other windows managers and choices for desktop. I am a big 
believer in the KISS method and prefer not to add in all the overhead that 
comes 
with KDE or GNOME and I just use tvm. I can open any application and it looks 
fine, I can open several Xterm windows with it and spread them across my dual 
monitor setup. It just works for me but I'm sure others will toot their horns 
for KDE and GNOME, etc...

Need Help Installing and Configuring Xorg

[John or Judy Hixson]

I'm having trouble getting Xorg to run on my just recently installed FreeBSD 
7.4-RELEASE(i386) system. I'm trying to follow the procedures in Sections 5.3 
and 5.4 of the Handbook and can't seem to get "startx" to fire up; I get a 
black screen when I try. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Installed Xorg from packages per 5.3. That seemed ultimately to go 
OK.
2. As my Xorg is version 7.5, I next enabled hald and dbus per 5.4.2.
3. Then as I remember, I tried to startx and ended up with a black 
screen from which I could not escape. Had to manually shut off and restart the 
PC.
4. Next I think I went ahead with the Xorg -configure per 5.4.2. and 
ended up with an error saying that "fbdev" was missing. Don't know what fbdev 
is.
5. Somewhere in the mailing list archives I found a similar error 
description that solved the problem by installing fbdev from packages or ports 
or can't remember where. Anyway fbdev seemed to install OK, at least I didn't 
see anymore error messages to that effect.
5. When I run Xorg -configure now and then look at the configuration 
file xorg.conf.new, I can't see any obvious errors but of course I mostly don't 
know what I'm l;ooking at.
6. The Handbook next suggests testing the configuration and gives 
instructions for a modified command for later versions of Xorg. I found that 
the modified command does not work. Fortunately my screen tells me a different 
command to test the server config: X -config /root/xorg.conf.new.
7. OK, so I try the alternative test command but still end up at a 
black screen from which I've found no escape. (As an aside I'd sure like to 
find a more graceful way to recover from that black screen. The procedure 
described in 5.4.2, Ctrl+Alt+Bksp, does not work even when enabled for later 
Xorg versions. Nor does Ctrl+Alt+Fn.)

I'm sure there are logs or files I could supply that would help sort out this 
problem; if I knew what they were I'd send them. As I don't have email 
configured of the FreeBSD machine, I'll have to manually copy those lines. I'm 
so new I don't know any other way to get text off of the machine.

Here's my hardware for what it's worth: SONY Vaio Desktop, Pentium 4 2.0GHz, 
2GB RAM,  GeForce FX5200 256MB PCI Vid Card, 2x IDE HDD's, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, FDD. 
I do have my mouse (Ikari Optical), keyboard (Logitech Wireless), and montior 
(ASUS LCD) running through a KVM, but they haven't had any troubles being 
recognized and operating after bootup.

Would appreciate anyone's suggestions. Thanks. John Hixson

Hello Conrad,

Recently I had a similar problem. My motherboard is:

NVIDIA MCP73

Fortunately, the above motherboard also has an ATA controller. So I
installed an ATA drive and installed FreeBSD 7.x.

Later I tried to patch the ata drivers but didn't get it right. See the
following thread:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=101821+0+archive/2008/freebsd-stable/20080921.freebsd-stable

 
Later on, Andrey V. Elsukov provided a patch. See the following thread:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=206853+0+archive/2008/freebsd-stable/20080928.freebsd-stable


I can now see the SATA drive (thanks to Andrey V. Elsukov) that is 
installed in the system with Ubuntu. But I'm still have some issues 
with the DVD Writer that is also connected to the SATA controller. I'm
getting read errors when I try to view a DVD. I haven't had the time 
to research it yet.

Maybe the above will help.

No, the install process breaks down when I go to the disk 
partitioning screen, as no useable disks are being found at all.

I'll try to gather more detailed info on my hardware and try asking 
again.  Also will try 7.1-BETA, although I'm rather pessimistic since 
I've already tried the latest CURRENT snapshot with the same results.

I could not have said it better myself. While the hobbyist can afford
to spend whatever time they have available on their hobby; in a business
environment, results are what matter first and foremost. Neither
software nor hardware, irregardless of cost, is of any use if it does
not work, and work well. A pseudo elitist attitude is just not
acceptable in a corporate atmosphere.

What the OP described is definitely advocacy; "I've been using FreeBSD
for 12 years and ".

The sooner users and system administrators stop toting this "
rocks!  It's better than yours!  It's better than !" attitude
the more mature and serious said operating system will appear to the
world, and to commercial vendors.

Speaking solely with regards to Linux: it has the upper hand in many
regards.  As someone who used Linux from 1992 until 1997, and switched
to BSD, I have experience in both worlds.  Linux today has:

- More kernel developers that know the innards well.  FreeBSD has no
  where near the quantity of said kernel folks, which means our guys
  are over-worked and stressed most of the time, and if a key person
  goes on hiatus, there's no guarantee issues will get dealt with while
  they are gone (see below),

- Multiple (read: more than one) kernel developers who are dedicated
  to parts of the kernel.  FreeBSD has many very key/important pieces
  which are maintained by *one individual ONLY*.  If that individual is
  busy with their job, real life, out sick, or even death (yes, this
  has happened!), it means that a key part of the kernel ends up being
  neglected for an indefinite amount of time (usually years),

- Full support from hardware manufacturers/vendors.  Linux developers
  are able to get development/test-bed cards (and usually documentation)
  for developing a new driver, sometimes for hardware/chips that aren't
  even on the market yet.  FreeBSD *very* rarely, if ever, gets this.
  We resort to looking at NetBSD or OpenBSD code (and they are in the
  same boat we are), hoping they have support for said hardware.  If
  not, we resort to looking at Linux code (which is immensely different
  from ours).  Vendors often ignore us.  I can expand on why I believe
  this is, but I have no example cases to back my opinions up,

- Turn-around time on fixes or bugs is significantly faster than ours,
  especially in kernel-land.  This is a direct result of having more
  regularly-operating eyes,

- Larger user base.  This means more bug reports, which I consider a
  good thing -- it means more things are getting fixed,

- More "user-friendly" interface pieces.  There are many aspects of
  FreeBSD which require knowledge of C, or require that someone write
  a C wrapper to get certain pieces of data from the kernel.  Linux
  has numerous methods which allow someone using Python or Ruby or
  Perl to access said data.  FreeBSD can accomplish this, there's
  nothing stopping us except time/effort, so it's not really a
  "negative" against FreeBSD; but people *are* picking Linux because
  of this,

- A significantly different attitude when it comes to support.  Back
  when I used Linux, the attitude was *horrible* (which is why I
  moved to BSD), but it has improved greatly in the past 10 years.
  I can expand on this if need be, but you'll just have to trust me
  for now.  One of the attitudes we have which is very unrealistic is
  "you have the source, you can fix it yourself" -- I'd say 80% of
  our community does not have the ability (or time) to do this.  It is
  rude and unprofessional of us to expect this of our users.

This is reality, I'm sorry to say; no form of advocacy, T-shirt-wearing,
or blogging "FreeBSD rocks!" will change it.  In my opinion, it's better
to embrace the above facts (because nothing is perfect, Linux
included!), and try to improve on them.

People will use whatever gets the job done for them.  If it doesn't,
users *will* switch to another operating system, and there is absolutely
nothing wrong with that.  Why?  Because reality states: solving problems
is more important than advocacy or "superiority".

they're committing a sin by using another operating system.  Open source
is about freedom of choice -- if FreeBSD doesn't work for you or get the
job done, and Linux does, then use Linux!  If Windows works for you, use
Windows!  There's absolutely no shame in that.  Blind, one-sided

This information is too vague.  We need to know *exactly*:

1) What motherboard model,
2) What SATA controller you're using ("nVidia chipset" is too vague),
3) If you're using BIOS-level RAID or not,
4) What version of "7.x" you're trying to install.

Please note that FreeBSD often does not support brand-spanking-new
hardware.  For example, there are Asus motherboards out right now
which use a Marvell ATA/PATA controller which FreeBSD does not have
support for.  Linux adopts brand-spanking-new hardware much quicker than
we do.

Finally, these problems are difficult to solve; it's a chicken-and-egg
problem.  Even if you can get into the Fixit CD's "Fixit#" prompt and
type "dmesg", you probably don't have serial console or anything hooked
up, so getting us the dmesg output would be very difficult.

There have been *tons* of changes to the ATA/SATA layer between
different 7.x versions.  I would urge you to try 7.1-BETA (do not let
the term "BETA" scare you away) and see if it works for you:

ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/7.1/
ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.1/

There are some of us which have this problem on CURRENT (8.0).  For
example, in my case, my Promise TX4310 card is not even seen on the PCI
bus during boot-up, while it works just fine in RELENG_7.

I'm not sure why people resort to saying things like this, like somehow
they're committing a sin by using another operating system.  Open source
is about freedom of choice -- if FreeBSD doesn't work for you or get the
job done, and Linux does, then use Linux!  If Windows works for you, use
Windows!  There's absolutely no shame in that.  Blind, one-sided
advocacy only harms open source projects.

Thanks for any advice.


Can u not get thru the install, or do you have issues afterwards?
I make it thru the install ok, but when I upgrade to stable, I have 
problems due to numbering changes.
I'd suggest using google or the freebsd website to search for your 
motherboard model and some other search terms.

You'll probably be told to check the supported hw list to start with.

Help installing openoffice

Hi there,

I wanna install Open Office through pkg_add because I've a slow band width.
But I can't find it in the ports collection.

In www.freshports.org they say I can install it by typing this "pkg_add -r
openoffice.org". But I don't know how to configure pkg_add or fetch to
download the package from freshports.org.

I wanna install Open Office 3-RC if possible.

Can somebody help me with this?

Re: Help Installing Sun JDK on FreeBSD

[triggerme2ice]

Ok so it seems i still have some other issues... :(

I have previously successfully installed the diablo JDK on the official
compatible versions (FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.1) But I need to have JDK installed
in numerous versions of FreeBSD. In this case i need it on 5.0 version

The problem I have now is getting it installed in my FreeBSD 5.0 system
So i tried to pkg_add the diablo-jdk-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz from this 
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml website   (the package
is meant for FreeBSD5.5, but its the closest thing available for the 5.0) 
Like in all the other times I've installed it (on the compatible
versions)... it asked for the XORG libraries and the javavmwrapper-2.0_6. I
managed to install the XORG Libraries manually and it works... so the only
thing i am not able to install is the javavmwrapper which i need

I've tried numerous methods:

Method 1:
cd /usr/ports/java/javavmwrapper
make install clean
The result "make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue"
And yes my ports tree is updated

Method 2:
pkg_add -r
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/Latest/javavmwrapper.tbz
In this method not only does it display the "...is in the future" messages,
but at the end it says
"pkg_add: write_plist: unknown command type -1 (kaffe-1.*)"


Can anyone please let me know how i can get javavmwrapper installed so i can
install the JDK on FreeBSD5.0???

Hi



How about to write like this?



make WITHOUT_MODULES="charset-lite include env setenvif status autoindex
asis cgi negotiation imap actions userdir alias so"
WITH_MODULES="mpm=prefork access auth log_config mime dir"

And after compiling with above command, I am getting this error when running
apache



# /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 41 of /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'Order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration

Even though I have added access, auth modules already in the make
command...

Please help!!!

go to the apache2 dir in your portstree ( generally
/usr/ports/www/apache2/ ) run 'make config' to set options, if the
specific options aren't there: copy the Makefile to Makefile.orig and
add the '--enable-OPTION'  and '--disable-OPTION' with the other compile
options.

Not sure though: but aren't a lot of those options also settable in the
apache config file ? it might be a better idea to check that out first,
so if you ever change your mind about a setting you don't have to
recompile your intire apache2 port.

If we can configure in Port, so where it could be done and how? and

go to the apache2 dir in your portstree ( generally

add the '--enable-OPTION'  and '--disable-OPTION' with the other

For apache22 "make show-options" gives you instructions.  It is highly 
unlikely you would need to do anything to the Makefile.  You can place 
the configuration options in /etc/make.conf, or in 
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf if you use portupgrade, exactly as any 
other port.


For example, I use the following in pkgtools.conf in the MAKE_ARGS section:
   'apache-2*' => [
   'WITHOUT_IPV6=1',
   'WITH_AUTH_MODULES=1',

Not sure though: but aren't a lot of those options also settable in 
the apache config file ? it might be a better idea to check that out 
first, so if you ever change your mind about a setting you don't have 
to recompile your intire apache2 port.


AFAIK, You can use the apache config file to leave out a module which 
you have compiled, but you can't make use of a module which you haven't 
compiled.


--Alex

PS Simply reading /usr/ports/apache22/Makefile would have answered your 
question about how to set which modules to use.

No. CD drives are UDMA-33 compatible only, so 40-pin cables will 
suffice. If you want something faster than UDMA-33 with your hard 
drive(s) though (assuming you have EIDE hard drives), you should connect 
it/them with an 80-pin cable.


Also, your BIOS should have the CD drive set to boot before the hard

Re: help installing FreeBSD

[David Stanford]

I'm sorry, I think I didn't explain it very well...
When I choose the media type, a message is shown warning that '...this is
the last chance... we can take no responsabillity". I hit 'ok' and then a
message appears saying 'writing partitions...' and a few seconds later
appears one message saying  'Unable to make new root filesystem on
/dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 36' (sometimes the 'Command returned
status 1'). I hit 'ok' and then appears: 'Couldn't make filesystems
properly. Aborting'. And finally the last message I receive is 'Instalation
completed with some errors. You may wish to scroll through...' At this point
is where I press Alt+F2 and the errors (the WRITE_DMA errors) are shown. Is
not necessary to press Alt+F2 but I read it somewhere. I hope you know now
where do these errors are shown, if not please respond me again and I'll try
to explain it better.
By the way, I don't think is the checksum because I was trying to install
FreeBSD 5.4 at first and the same error occured, but I will check the
checksum, is just that... excuse my ignorance, but what is the checksum of
my ISO image and how do I verify it Sorry I know that is a stupid
question...



As somebody already mentioned, it could very well be an issue with your hard
drive - but the simplest thing to do is first verify that your ISO and,
thus, your CDROM image aren't corrupt. A checksum is basically a value
generated from a data file using some sort of calculation method (in this
case, using an md5 hash). This value can then be later used to verify
nothing has changed in the data
file and that you have downloaded it with no errors. This is a common
thing to see in the open source world. If you want more information on
this, more can be found from
wikipedia 
. If you are downloading on a Windows machine, you can use the md5sum
utility (download
here 
). Once you have the ISO file, you can simpy place both the md5sum.exe
utility and ISO in the same directory and run it like so:

C:\Documents and Settings\dstanford\Desktop>*md5sum.exe
6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso*

This will generate a value which you can then compare with what the
valueshould be,
here.
If the two values match up, then you know the downloaded file (ISO) is the
same as the one on the server and that there were no errors while
downloading.

Good luck!

Re: help installing FreeBSD

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is a  long-time bug in the installer.
I've installed several times seeing this error and never had a problem.
However, to be safe you could always manually specify the geometry of your
disk in the fdisk utility during install.

I'm confused. At what point are you pressing Alt-F2? There isn't any point
during the installation, that I can think of, that requires you hitting
Alt-F2. Though, in reference the short error message above, I would first

Alex,

Welcome

Every thing you should need to know is in the handbook. You will need to
read the section on installing Xwindows, then chose a Desktop
environment (Gnome or KDE).

There are some minor issues with nvida video 3d cards but there are
nvida drivers for BSD. ATI cards are a bit more of a problem. In both
cases search the mailing list archives the info is there.

You can download two floppies (kern.flp & mfsroot.flp) from FTP site
where you got the ISOs, or get them off the CD if you can mount that.
Burn to floppies like this (as root):

 dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
 dd if=mfsroot.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

Boot kern.flop and follow instructions, eventually telling it to
get distributions from CD/DVD.

You probably ought to first try this to test your burning of the
CD a bit (use acd0 or cd0):

   mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
   cd /mnt

Try hitting F12, F10, or F8 as the computer is booting up (with
FreeBSD disk in the CD drive). That will usually give you an option to
boot from CD, depending on what kind of computer you have. Or, go into
bios and set to boot from CD first.

If you see a short list, instead of the long list then you still
have the OS in "image" format.  Use Nero or some other "ISO"
burning software to get the actual CD.

Once you have the CD as it is meant to be used, this might help:
http://www.US-Webmasters.com/FreeBSD/Install/

If you already see the long list, then you have burned the
ISO file correctly.  You need set the BIOS to boot from
the CD.  You might have dig around in there or Google for
better instructions.  Good luck!

More info about your hardware would help.  Are you unable to boot from the 
CD? or are you adding FreeBSD as a second operating system but are unable 
to boot into FreeBSD after the install completes?  What are "the normal

i am unable to ping any IP address specific to the internet or any

The secret to a quiet life with FreeBSD is to use the ports system.  I
can tell you now that if you're trying to compile and install
something that requires a Gnome environment by hand, you will go
slowly insane trying to resolve all of the dependencies.  Or maybe you
will go speedily insane.

Chances are the application that you eventually want to install is
already available in ports.  In which case, you can get the whole damn
thing downloaded, patched for FreeBSD, compiled and installed *and*
the same automatically for all of it's dependencies by a simple two
word command issued from the appropriate place in the ports tree.
Viz: 'make install'.

To learn more about using the ports system see:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

There's also been a very good set of articles by Dru Lavigne on
O'Reilly's OnLamp site which takes the beginner through some of the
finer points of maintaining a system using FreeBSD ports and
associated tools:

need help installing something

[ALIAS]

i am trying to install this program called glib-2.2.3 and it need a program 
that i don't have so i downloaded it and installed it. it's called 
libiconv-1.9.1 it says in the readme file that after installing it i should 
do the following.

After installing GNU libiconv for the first time, it is recommended to
recompile and reinstall GNU gettext, so that it can take advantage of
libiconv.

On systems other than GNU/Linux, the iconv program will be internationalized
only if GNU gettext has been built and installed before GNU libiconv. This
means that the first time GNU libiconv is installed, we have a circular
dependency between the GNU libiconv and GNU gettext packages, which can be
resolved by building and installing either
  - first libiconv, then gettext, then libiconv again,
or (on systems supporting shared libraries, excluding AIX)
  - first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again.
Recall that before building a package for the second time, you need to erase
the traces of the first build by running "make distclean".

This library can be built and installed in two variants:

  - The library mode. This works on all systems, and uses a library
    `libiconv.so' and a header file `'. (Both are installed
    through "make install".)

    To use it, simply #include  and use the functions.

    To use it in an autoconfiguring package:
    - If you don't use automake, append m4/iconv.m4 to your aclocal.m4
      file.
    - If you do use automake, add m4/iconv.m4 to your m4 macro repository.
    - Add to the link command line of libraries and executables that use
      the functions the placeholder @LIBICONV@ (or, if using libtool for
      the link, @LTLIBICONV@). If you use automake, the right place for
      these additions are the *_LDADD variables.
    Note that 'iconv.m4' is also part of the GNU gettext package, which
    installs it in /usr/local/share/aclocal/iconv.m4.

  - The libc plug/override mode. This works on GNU/Linux, Solaris and OSF/1
    systems only. It is a way to get good iconv support without having
    glibc-2.1.
    It installs a library `libiconv_plug.so'. This library can be used with
    LD_PRELOAD, to override the iconv* functions present in the C library.

    On GNU/Linux and Solaris:
        $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libiconv_plug.so

    On OSF/1:
        $ export _RLD_LIST=/usr/local/lib/libiconv_plug.so:DEFAULT

    A program's source need not be modified, the program need not even be
    recompiled. Just set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, that's it!

i sent this email to someone and he suggested that i do the following

cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext && make install

after i typed the command in the install file started downloading a bunch of 
stuff from the net then it was compiling and it said that something was out 
of date and i should do the following, make deinstall and make reinstall i 
did that and i tried to install libiconv-1.9.1 and it says the following.

configure: error:***No iconv<> implementation found in C library or libiconv

what should i do now?? can someone please help.

help installing sun java on freebsd -5.1

[sweetleaf]

I am running netscape v.7.0.2 that i d/l from netscape.com under the linux emulation 
on freebsd-5.1. I would like to use the chat features a yahoo and be able to do online 
banking which requires java. Netscape redirected me to suns page to d/l the java below:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install-s1s4-linux.html

I am trying to follow the install instruction but i keep getting the error this binary 
is not executable. As mentioned above i am following their instructions:

3. ype: chmod 777 j2sdk-1_4_1_02-s1studio_ce-4u1-bin-linux.bin to change permissions 
on that file to allow execution.

Run the installer.

1. Type the following command from the directory where you placed the installation 
file:

j2sdk-1_4_1_02-s1studio_ce-4u1-bin-linux.bin



i have also tried chmod a+x but the same results.

Thanks in advance.

ps:

 I would also like to install realplayer 8. again netscape sent me to realplayer.com 
to d/l the linux distro. its a rpm format so i installed rpm from the linux section on 
ftp.freebsd.org. rpm -i realplayer.rpm gives a bunch of lib dependency issues. Is 
their a special package from the linux emulation section that i need to install?

Which .iso did you download, for which version of FreeBSD?  What software did you use 
to burn
the file to CD?  What do you mean by "wouldn't install?"  What error message do you 
see, if any?
What is the [general] hardware configuration of the machine you're attempting to

Have you read:

Yo.

Don't take this the wrong way, but this is a really really bad
trouble report. You are very unlikely to get any responses.
Did you burn a CD or just download the image?
Did you get any error messages?
Have you read the handbook?

Download the ISO image.
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.7

You will need only first ISO image. You will need a cd burning software
(Nero is my choice). :)

You can download the .iso image here:

then burn that image to a CD. It is for the i386 arch.

Need help installing FreeBSD

[venkat reddy]

Hi all,

I am new to the FreeBSD community, I want to install
FreeBSD in my lab and I am getting problems installing
it.

I am trying to install Free-BSD on a Pentium-II
machine with 10 GB hard disk space.

I have downloaded the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and
image copied them on to the floppies and booted my
system with those floppies.

Now when it prompts for the further installation I
have selected the "ftp passive" because i have a
firewall to my lab. but it says could not log on to
the ftp. 

My question is If I want to load it from a CD. What
should I write on the CD from the ftp site. I am too
confused with the directories in the ftp site.

Please help me what to download from the ftp site. And
 are there any bootable images for the complete
installation process in the ftp site.

Thanks in advance.

Venkat
