Hello,
I am new to FreeBSD v2.2.5. I have a complete FreeBSD manual book.
I have several questions to ask. Please answer each questions.
I have Sound Blaster 32 AWE PnP with ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM. Why FreeBSD
has only two IDE controller cards on both IRQ 14 and IRQ 15? I mean
that it supports first and second IDE controller cards. Sound Blaster
32 AWE uses IRQ 5 and CD-ROM uses IRQ 10. Do I have to tell FreeBSD to
use third IDE controller card? Or I can change from second IDE
controller card IRQ 15 to IRQ 10 and 0x170 address to 0x168. I am sure
that it will work.
My hard disk drive has 2484 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors.
Should I change disk geometry because FreeBSD does not support more than
1024 cylinders? Like 621 cylinders, 64 heads, and 63 sectors?
I am not sure which User, X-User, Developer, X-Developer, all other
software to be installed. Can you please advise me to choose the best
installation?
I read chapter seven and chapter eight in the complete FreeBSD
manual book. I am trying to install, but error message says that file
is not found. Look at below.
# cd /usr
# for i in /cdrom/XF86331/X331*.tgz; do
# tar xvf $i
# done
I do not understand why FreeBSD does not accept programming like C++
language.
Please give me more information where I can use step on step
installation. The complete FreeBSD manual book does not have step on
step installation.
Can you tell me which newsgroups are best that I can keep feedback
with someone for answers.
Thank you,
Bryan Parkoff
