Testing Freesbie 2.0.1...
Hi again... After trying 5 times with different cheatcodes and 1 time with only "set freesbie.wm=xfce" (and just after entering the desktop, clicking the shutdown button on the left side of the bar), appears the following: **(xfce4-session:1450):WARNING**:Failed to perform shutdown action! unsetenv:not found unsetenv:not found Agent pid1442 killed xscreensaver: 16:18:03: SIGHUP received:restarting... xscreensaver: 16:18:03: initial effective uid/gid was root/wheel(0/0) xscreensaver: 16:18:03: running as freesbie/wheel(1000/0) xscreensaver: couldn't get password of "freesbie" xscreensaver: couldn't get password of "root" The application 'xfce-mcs-manager' lostlist connection for the display:0.0; most likely the x server was shutdown or you killed/destroyed the application. waiting the x server to shutdown x connection to: 0.0 broken(explicit kill or server shutdown) [some useful tip is located in this place]. freesbie is connected to ttyv0 as local ...(sorry for the poor translation, real words are in spanish) [EMAIL PROTECTED]> And the PC doesn't shotdown. So what I do is typing "shutdown -p now" to shutdown manually. I hope this helps. Bye friends. __ Correo Yahoo! Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis!

Testing Freesbie 2.0.1...
Hi.. I'm just testing the new Freesbie. Now the problem with my usb mouse has disappeared!!! everything running just fine. I have got a wireless router and tried to connect to Internet from there. I had a big headache (because I'm a newbie in freebsd and its terminal) setting up my connection using wep encryption. I got connected to the router but I couldn't get a dhcp address (wepmode on, wepkey ...). Finally my problem was that I had to set the "ifconfig ral0 deftxkey" to 1(not only the wepkey parameter), then after the command "dhclient ral0" everything have just run fine. Of course all this running in su (superuser). Now I'm sending this e-mail from Freesbie with wireless connection. If Freesbie just had a graphical way to set the wireless connection it would be fantastic. Thank you and keep the good work. OTTO __ Correo Yahoo!

About Freesbie 2.0
Hi!!! I've just downloaded the recently released Freesbie 2.0. I was testing it in my PC, but it couldn't recognize the usb mouse so I was using only the keyboard. I tried removing from the usb port and putting in another port hopping the PC would recognize, but nothing happened. I'll use a ps2 mouse for the moment. I wonder if can this Freesbie be installed into my hard disk as knoopix can(just double clicking an executable). Keep the excellent job. Otto __ Correo Yahoo!

Correction: Freesbie 2.0 BETA (EW)
I am sorry. I can see the folder /dev/ntfs. I just need to mount manually now. .Ahh, another thing. In the Freesbie 2.0 LVC there was a "msdosfs" folder into the /dev folder where I could see my fat32 and NTFS partitions, and from there I just mounted those partitions(which does not mount automatically yet as in Freesbie 1.1); but now only appears the fat32 oneJust to notice you... __ Correo Yahoo!

Freesbie 2.0 BETA (EW)
HI!! I have just run Freesbie 2.0 beta after sorting some problem in the boot proccess. My laptop is a DELL Latitude D510. I have the serial port disabled in the BIOS. With the Freesbie 1.1 and Freesbie 2.0 LVC all the boot proccess run with no problem. But with this beta, the boot proccess freezes at: FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED], Wed Nov 8 08:01:13 UTC 2006) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf \ This "\" is where it freezes. Just enabling the serial port (I selected com1) the boot proccess run OK. I tried many changes in the BIOS and only enabling the serial port allowed me to pass this "\" in the boot proccess. Ahh, another thing. In the Freesbie 2.0 LVC there was a "msdosfs" folder into the /dev folder where I could see my fat32 and NTFS partitions, and from there I just mounted those partitions(which does not mount automatically yet as in Freesbie 1.1); but now only appears the fat32 oneJust to notice you... I am writing this mail from FreesBIE 2.0 EW using an AVAYA wireless PCcard. By the way, is there a visual way or a wizard for setting the wireless connection? I had to use the Terminal (ifconfig and dhclient). Best Regards. I will be waiting for the final release of FreesBIE 2.0. Must be great!! __ Correo Yahoo!

FreeSBIE LVC works great!!!
Hi. I just downloaded the iso image yesterday. FreeSBIE LVC works great, my laptop is: - DELL LATITUDE D510 - 256MB RAM - COMBO DRIVE using cheatcodes: set freesbie.wm=xfce set freesbie.lang=spanish The only thing I missed from FreeSBIE 1.1: That was able to mount NTFS and USB memory by itself. With FreeSBIE LVC I needed to do it manually. Thanx people.

This is the second of a series of four ISOimages: GMV, LVC, EW, and CE, with CE being hopefully FreeSBIE 2.0. Assaid, LVC goes public today, while EW is planned for the end ofOctober and CE for the middle of November. This means that FreeSBIELVC *can* be
considered FreeSBIE 2.0 PREBETA (while GMV could not).The codename for this image is LVC, which stands for "Lee Van Cleef",who played in "A few dollars more" and "The good, the bad and theugly". Complete information about this actor athttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001812/ .Similarly to GMV, LVC is based on the HEAD branch of FreeBSD, so onFreeBSD 7-CURRENT and, to be precise, as it was on2006.10.10.12.00.00. Ports are approximately from the same date. EWand CE, on the other hand, will be based on the RELENG_6_2 branch,both for sources and for ports.After having released GMV, I received lots of feedback andsuggestions. I would like to thank everybody for their support:having fun and feeling appreciated is what make me going on with thiswork. All the suggestions had been included in LVC, but this does notmean that LVC is perfect. Remember, is "PREBETA". I say it onceagain: please, test LVC and send me
feedback, bug reports,suggestions, insults, whatever. Please specify [FreeSBIE LVC] in thesubject of the mail. Additional software and fixes are not the only news in FreeSBIE LVC.FreeSBIE now has *cheatcodes*!What are cheatcodes? They are a way to specify FreeSBIE options suchas language, windowmanager, ramdisks'sizes, etc, at boot time. Whenyou'll boot FreeSBIE, you'll see a new menu. Follow the instructionsand you'll see what cheatcodes are about. =)More cheatcodes will be added in EW and in CE.FreeSBIE LVC can be downloaded from the following locations:{ftp, http}://mirror.tomato.it/ftp/pub/Freesbie/BETA/FreeSBIE-LVC-20061010.iso (100Mbps)http://drizzt.bsdnet.eu/freesbie/FreeSBIE-LVC-20061010.iso (80MBps)http://core.drizzt.bsdnet.eu/freesbie/FreeSBIE-LVC-20061010.iso (24Mbps)http://people.freebsd.org/~matteo/GMV/FreeSBIE-LVC-20061010.iso (slow,when possible don't use this mirror,
