HI...
Having sent a mail to the mailing list, it came back saying I must send
it to this address (I seem to remember that it is the same one...) any
way, so do I now, and sorry if it is a duplicate...
Hi,
for a bit more than a year, I used Freenet (discontinuously but
regularly) without problems, on Mac PPC Tiger.
Now, I updated my old machine to an iMac-Intel, and, trying to follow
the advices, downloaded the last "Freenet.jnlp", but, even if it
arrived correctly on my desk, it doesn't start any install, neither
automatically, nor by double-clicking on it.
So, continuing to follow the instructions, and since the first steps
didn't work, I went to Linux instructions, and entered in Terminal the
commands how they are given to DL the new install jar.
wget
http://freenet.googlecode.com/files/new_installer_offline_1222.jar -O
new_installer_offline.jar
java -jar new_installer_offline.jar
It didn't work... so, I extracted the first part of it (URL) and Dlded
it by hand with FireFox.
I must say that I still am a bit bepuzzled with the content of it,
that doesn't seem to ressemble the sort of packages to be installed
through Terminal... no file called "install" nor "istall info", giving
the steps to follow… nor file in it looking somehow a bit alive (.sh,
.jar, .exec...) so, I tried anyway to follow the commands given in the
tut, but it didn't work either...
Next thing, since I'm on mac-Intel, I tried to install it on the
"Windows xp pro" side of my Mac...
It downloaded OK, and installed fine (there is already i2p working
fine on this xp), but now, and after few hours, it doesn't seem to be
able to connect to nodes... I opened the proper holes in the router
from my modem, and it didn't managed either... (I choosed *normal *at
all security levels, meaning that it could connect to unknowns), and
also gave momentaryly my IP (bybassing proxy)... besides this, I don't
think that for this xp pro there is any firewall... have to
investigate though to see if my mac Firewall works for it (really
don't think so, neither LittleSnitch)...
I must say however that I would very much prefer to have freenet
_installed and working on Leopard_, not fearing then any virus nor
such stupid problems with it... Of course I know, if XP would get
infected I would only have to reinstall it... and since I don't keep
much folders in it it wouldn't be much... (at the beginnig, I'd try to
see if, been on Mac, it would be protected from such attacks and
infections, and, just for the experiment went to a site where I new to
find bugs, and... ;-) … well I had to reinstall it... so now, I'm
being a bit careful.
Next thing (if I can't find proper solutions) would be to install
Freenet on the linux partition of my OS (there is already stealthnet
on Kubuntu, working fine there) and Linux has anyway, like mac, the
Unix security level...
I'd be grateful for a little advice... thanks.
