A reccomendation:Use X -configure to create a new configfile, on some hardware it detects the right syncs on your monitor and so on, you can alter it later to fit your needs (resolution, depth, etc.)

Network Boot
I have a vision of something like this : My OpenBSD machine acts as a pxe boot server, clients on the lan boot pxe and get a choice of booting the operating system on the clients hard drive, or boot openbsd kernel for installation or diagnostics and for example boot memtest86 or some other diagnostic program ? Can this be done with OpenBSD ? I only saw instructions on booting OpenBSD kernel from PXE, but i would like to have some more options, as described before. Any suggestions/comments are welcome.
OpenBSD with Linksys WRT54G
Hello, my home network consists of 6 machines, one of them runs openbsd, which i used for dhcp, nat, pf, php, mysql, etc. Now i bought a Linksys WRT54g wifi router, at the moment i use the router's configuration utility, which is accessible over the web, i'm not familiar with it and it doesn't feel comfortable for me, i'd still like to use openbsd for serving my home network and use the router for 100Mb LAN and for WiFi, my question is - is it possible to just use the router as an access point and set the firewall rules, dhcpd on my openbsd box, so the router would just show up as an interface under ifconfig ?
OpenBox in OpenBSD
I put together some tips, to get openbox up and running quickly in openbsd, maybe someone find it helpful :-) http://php.khk.tartu.ee/~alari/
LiveCD thread
A few months ago, i put together some intsructions for making a livecd,
but didn't have the time to complete it, i'll post them here, and if
anybody wants,
we can work on it together and complete it and post it to the
mailinglist and perhaps openbsdsupport.org ?
So here we go :

# export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs

# mkdir -p /livecd/backups/{var,etc,dev}
# cp -pR /var /livecd/backups/var

The fstab and and rc files are available from the livecd article at

If anybody feels like creating a howto for creating a livecd, feel

Instructions for tracking -CURRENT
Hello everybody, i put together some instructions for tracking -CURRENT, it's just for getting things done faster, than reading the cvs instructions on the homepage of openbsd. Any feedback is welcome.
