bsdinstall partitioning

[Gabor Kovesdan]

Hi,

I just had my first encounter with the new installer. I chose manual 
partitioning, created a BSD disk (not GPT) with one swap and the rest 
for /. Rest of the installation went fine but then my system didn't 
boot. I repeated everything and I chose guided partitioning. This time 
it worked but I think the manual way with BSD disk format should also 
work as it did in sysinstall. Besides, the partition types (freebsd-ufs, 
freebsd-swap and freebsd-boot) should be listed somehow or there should 
be radio buttons. If you choose manual partition with GPT, only the 
first two are shown in the description so one may not know that there is 
also a freebsd-boot type, which is mandatory.


Anyway, the rest of the installer and the configuration is very 
convenient and I loved that I could configure my wifi connection w/o 
hand-editing the config files, so thanks a lot to Nathan for the hard work!


Cheers,
Gabor

Re: FreeBSD 4 EOL ports tree

Hi,

since I need to use some installations of FreeBSD 4 for a while I'd like
to know:

Is there any special tag available for checking out the last usable
ports tree?

By accident I discovered the tag "RELEASE_4_EOL" on some files. Is this
vaild for all ports or only some (not shown in the webcvs)?

Thanks,
Marc

  

Hello Marc,

RELEASE_4_EOL is the tag where the 4.X support was not yet removed. We 
only started to remove the 4.X support after the tag, thus you should 
still be able to build ports from the tag on 4.X.

Gabor
