For a long time, I didn't run a node for lack of a suitable machine and bandwidth. I recently picked up an old P4 1.8 Optiplex with 256M, which is had intended to use for something else, but when that fell through I decided to play around with Freenet on it.
I wanted to redo what I had done before to see if it still worked and review Freenet basicst, so I installed a small partition of Win2K, downloaded Freenet 5106 and the latest Frost, and installed. The help files are still hit or miss, and the Wiki is only for .7, so I just did a hack install and got the thing going. Messages are appearing in Frost, so I'm going to give it the 24-hour breakin run and make sure it works properly before going on. It does take all 256 meg of memory and uses 100% of the CPU, but since I spent $117 to purchase a dedicated Freenet server, I don't care. Here are my questions: 1. The default datastore is on the C; partition and is only 512 meg. How do I move it to another partition and give it more room? Can I change that only, or do I have to move everything? 2. If I can't retrieve a lot of content after 24 hours of Frost board refreshing, is that me or is that because Freenet users are shutting down the .5 nodes in favor of .7? 3. The new version of Frost works with .5 and .7, and you can move your board files from .5 to .7. Does this mean the boards on .7 will have the same names and work with the same keys? I'm sure I'll have more questoins when I put up a partition of Linux and attempt to get .7 running. That ought to be fun....I won't know if it's my pitiful skillset as a Linux SA or the new software acting up. -vinyl1 _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
