The two cards in question are *not* simultaneously resident in the machine. The scenario is more like: pop in the first card and boot, the interface is recognized. Shutdown the machine and power off, remove the first card, insert the second card and reboot, the interface is not found at the address. I'm rebuilding with debug set so maybe I'll be able to see what the driver is doing.

However, when using Windows95 to connect to the same ISP *without* scripting, there is no problem at all. For this reason, I have to temporarily resort to using Windows95 running wingate to enable the other UNIX boxes to have partial Internet accessibility. I realize this is *not* a problem with FreeBSD itself and my ISP cannot help either, so what I am trying to do is to gather info from people with great knowledge of Windows95 dial-up PPP *without* login script and be able to give me some assistance, so that I can figure out what is the difference betwee Windows dial-up PPP and iijppp/pppd on FreeBSD. If I am able to figure the difference, I may be able to set up the right configuration files to use. Right now, the setting for Windows95 is that I obtain dynamic IP address from ISP and have no idea about authentication (yes, it is needed as login id and password are needed during login) scheme as well as the login protocol. On the Win95 end, the Connection and Server Type is set to PPP: Windows95, Windows NT 3.5, Internet. When I use plain dial-up from FreeBSD to connect to my ISP, I do not see the Login: Password: pairs, so I believe the login scheme is *not* set up that way but relies on either PAP or CHAP, and I tried both schemes using iijppp but both do not work and the ppp session never goes beyond LCP part. Querying this to the hopeless ISP "customer service" does not give me any useful response either since they don't even know what PAP and CHAP are, let alone which scheme they are using, 8-(((. However, I am not considering changing ISP for now. Please help if some of you W95 + FreeBSD guru can think of anything that may be of relevance to my case.

For historical reasons (I guess). You can only boot from the *first* BSD slice on a disk, so the slice number of the root partition is irrelevant (the only root partition you can use is the one on the first BSD slice). This is from times when BSD didn't know about slices. Nadav > > -Sean > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Sean J.

In such a case, you can only boot from the *first* BSD slice on the disk. This means that you must move your root partition to the new slice.

The installation is not performed under DOS or OS/2, but rather under FreeBSD. The installation files must be on a FAT partition, as sysinstall will not read HPFS.

INSTALLATION FAILURE OF FREEBSD WITH DOS FILE SYSTEM I have down-loaded all the necessary files(e.g., boot4.flp and /bin directory such as bin.aa, bin.ab,....) ovre the Internet, the I have sucessfully made the booting floppy. This floppy sucessfully BOOTS into my Computer and there isn't any hardware conflict. Finally there is a system installation menu appears. As it was said in the INSTALLATION.TXT, I have coppied all the files in floppies (1.44M properly formatted under the DOS operating system) in bin directory (a:\bin\bin.aa, a:\bin\bin.ab,.....). I tried to Install the FreeBSD via Novice. During the Installation process I did every thing properly. I have chosen the MINIMAL Installation option. With the media selection I have given the Floppy as the media of Installation. Every thing has gone properly until the Inseratation of the distribution floppy (a:\bin\bin.aa,....). After the Insetation of the floppy it tried to read the floppy then gave a message : "Couldn't extract the following distribution. Since the the selected media does not contain the distribution you have selected etc..." Then aborted with the incomplete Installation. After that I have taken a much pain to Install with the other options(e.g., Installing from the DOS partion etc.). I wish to point out the fact that I have done every thing properly in my part(as it was given in the relavent documents such as INSTALLTION.TXT, HARDWARE.TXT etc) I shall be thankful if you could report to me immediately about this problem.

Because FreeBSD by default uses an MD5 digest of the password rather than a DES encryption of the password. GENERAL RULE ALERT: IF YOU WANT TO USE NIS (aka Yellow Pages) BETWEEN FREEBSD AND OTHER UNIX SYSTEMS YOU *MUST* INSTALL THE DES DISTRIBUTION.

No, but it *will* work just fine installed *over* Win95. ;^) FreeBSD can live on the same system, and on the same hard disk, as Win95, but you boot FreeBSD *instead of* Win95; it is a complete operating system.

Assuming you had a DOS slice, numbered 1, and a FreeBSD slice numbered 2 and then you split the DOS slice in half, the new slice will be physically before the FreeBSD slice, but will have an index of 3 (I guess, never tried it). I don't know what might happen in such a case. I think you may want to try. After all, this *should* all reversible. If you find that after adding the new slice FreeBSD no longer boots, remove the newly created partition. DISCLAIMER: I've never tried it and I take no responsibility for any loss of data or functionality. Proceed at your own risk! Anyone ever had any experience with such a procedure?

My ISP gives me a dynamic > IP address, so I have used 0 whereve the IP address is needed. This is a little esoteric, so I'll try to explain carefully. I think I've answered this before, but it was probably buried in the middle of a large message. To complete your PPP autodial setup: First, when PPP first comes up, you will need to give the PPP link default addresses on both ends, and to add a default route via this link. Don't worry if the addresses are 100% correct, we will fix them automagically when the link comes up. These addresses and route just allow us to create a default route when the computer is first booted. OK, here's how you do this. Let's assume that your ISP gives you a dynamic IP address each you dial up, and further assume that the address you receive always starts with 206.100. The address on the other end, the router you are talking to, is also dynamic and in the 206.100.22 network. In /etc/ppp.conf, in the setup for your ISP, configure: ISP: ... set ifaddr 206.100.1.1/16 206.100.22.1/8 ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | + His address is 206.100.22.x | | + His address defaults to this | + My address is 206.100.x.x + My address defaults to 206.100.1.1 Now we want to add the default route via this interface. We need to do this in order for auto-dial to work; if we don't have a route through the interface packets bound off-site have nowhere to go. With the default route, packtes bound off-site get routed to the PPP link, signalling ppp to bring up the interface. In ppp.conf, immediately after the 'set ifaddr' line above: add 0 0 206.100.22.1 Now, whenever a packet gets routed to the internet via the tun device, the link will be auto-dialed if it is down. In order to keep this working, we need to patch up this route when the link comes up. In /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: MYADDR: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR The first command will delete the current default route; this keeps the next command from complaining about the default route already existing. The second adds a new default route via the remote end of the PPP link just brought up. Once the link goes down, this route will remain, giving us the required default route for the next auto-dial. Our resulting config files look like: /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: # # Default setup. Executed always when PPP is invoked. # default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 115200 set debug phase chat lqm lcp set timeout 3600 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 10 \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" # # My ISP, with active pap authentication: # isp: disable chap deny chap enable pap accept pap set authname myname set authkey mypass set openmode active set phone 5551212 set ifaddr 206.100.1.1/16 206.100.22.1/8 add 0 0 206.100.22.1 /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: # # In all cases (since we've only got one) add his address as default # gateway.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just want to check if anyone have been able to run FreeBSD and XFree86 on an IBM ThinkPad 370c? I have been playing with the 2.2-PAO-Beta code, and that might be the problem? If anyone of you think so, please let me know. I will check with 2.1.6 tomorrow (monday). Anyway... I have managed to get the console working, and the XF86_SVGA server to start when telling it it is the right chipset etc. BUT, the keyboard does not work, and neither the mouse, when in X-mode. I can type some characters, but not more than that. The characters are also just crap. I know it is an XT keyboard etc etc and the solution might be that the current XFree86 server together with FreeBSD 2.2 can not handle those keyboards? pcvt works by the way.

Well...I figured it out. On a suggestion, I re-checked to see that I'd opened up the firewall stuff. I'd built a kernel with it enabled to play around some and I DID have the allow line uncommented in my /etc/rc.firewall. However, I hadn't turned on the firewall processing stuff by way of the /etc/sysconfig setting. After I set it to YES and rebooted, everything started behaving again. I just knew that these symptoms looked familiar (I ran into the same sort of thing when I moved to 2.1.5R from 2.1.0R). Ah well...

On the copy I received, the sender was "www@narcissus.ml.org", and I do not have a www user defined either. I also filled out a form on the web, I think at www.hub.org or something like that.

Is that what you mean? Now this is weird! Must be sendmail just appending the domain name from the host the message was read at.. Here it said my host, and on your machine your host.. So, I am not really sure were that message came from. I did not get a copy of that message, so perhaps it isn't that script at all.

Fascinating! Attached is the message as seen from "cat $MAIL" -- it's actually marked, as you can see, as coming from "www" without a domain name.

I am using FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA with ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 which use Intel's 430HX PCIset. A few days ago, I Changed my motherboard from MICRONICS M54Hi to ASUS P/I-P55T2P4. Nothing is changed except motherboard. Mainly, I am using Matrox Meteor(or its clone. e.g. Omnimedia Tailsman P1S). But, When I booted my computer, My computer hung up. When I remove Meteor. I works very well. I don't know why it doesn't work. Booting messages are below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright (c) 1992-1996 FreeBSD Inc.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, "The Complete FreeBSD", published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. Since going to press, a number of anomalies have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the first edition, formatted on 19 July 1996 (at the time of writing the only edition that is available). If you have this book, please check this list. I apply these changes to the current source of the book, so if you buy a later edition, they will be in it as well. If you find a bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me (grog@freebsd.org). --- Changes: 5 December 1996 --- Page 192: Middle of the page, the indented small print comment. Replace with: If your system doesn't have the directory /usr/src/sys, then the kernel source has not been installed. To install from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps: # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # ln -s /usr/src/sys /sys # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/src/sys.* | tar xzvf - The symbolic link /sys for /usr/src/sys is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea: some software uses it, and otherwise you may end up with two different copies of the sources. --- Changes: 28 November 1996 --- Page 135, second paragraph: replace with In addition, you may need to create the device nodes if they don't already exist. By default, the system contains four virtual terminal devices in the /dev directory. If you use more than this number, you must create them, either with MAKEDEV (see page 162), or with mknod (see page 573). When calculating how many devices you need, note that if you intend to run X11, you need a terminal device without a getty for the X server. For example, if you have enabled /dev/ttyv3, /dev/ttyv4, and /dev/ttyv5, and you also want to run X, you will need a total of 7 virtual terminals (/dev/ttyv0 through /dev/ttyv6). With MAKEDEV, you specify how many virtual terminals you need: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV vty7 make 7 vtys Alternatively, you can do this with mknod: # cd /dev # ls -l ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 28 10:25 ttyv0 # mknod ttyv3 c 12 3 # mknod ttyv4 c 12 4 # mknod ttyv5 c 12 5 # mknod ttyv6 c 12 6 In this example, you list the entry for /dev/ttyv0 in order to check the major device number of the virtual terminals (that's the 12, in this example; it may change from one release to another). You need to specify this number to mknod. For more details about major and minor device numbers, see page 160. --- Changes: 20 November 1996 --- Figure 10-4, page 172: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s3a through /dev/sd1s3h as shown. Figure 10-6, page 176: The devices in the FreeBSD slice are *still* called /dev/sd1s2a through /dev/sd1s2h, not /dev/sd1s1a through /dev/sd1s1h as shown. (Well, at least the average turned out right :-) The man page section (pages 225 to 766) was sorted by ASCII name of the man page, with the result that the man pages whose names start with upper-case letters come before those whose names start with lower-case letters. Sorry about that. If you're looking for a man page, probably the best place to start is in the Table of Contents on page vi. The man pages are really just excerpts. The total FreeBSD man pages format to some 6,000 pages, far more than I could possibly put in this book. --- Changes: 1 November 1996 --- Major changes: 1. No difference in installation from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. When "The Complete FreeBSD" was written, you still needed a separate installation procedure for installing from ATAPI CD-ROM drives. This is no longer the case. The following modifications to the text come as a result: Page 14, table: Remove references to atapiflp.bat and inst_ide.bat. FreeBSD 2.1.5 no longer has separate boot floppies and installation procedures for ATAPI CD-ROM drives. Page 29: Remove the text "You will also need a different boot disk (/cdrom/floppies/atapi.flp). If you are creating the boot floppy with MS-DOS, you can use the file ATAPIFLP.BAT to create the floppy." The resultant text reads: IDE CD-ROM drives, more properly called ATAPI CD-ROM drives, are a new kind of CD-ROM drive which connect to the same controller as your IDE hard disk. Currently, FreeBSD 2.1.5 support for ATAPI CD-ROM drives is in alpha test. In order to install from an ATAPI CD-ROM, the drive must be jumpered as slave device. The installation may or may not work--please let us know if it doesn't, especially if you can give us some indication about the cause of the trouble. You can also create this boot diskette with the aid of the VIEW program (see Chapter 4, Installing FreeBSD, page 38). Page 35: Remove the points referring to atapi.flp. The text for the third box from the bottom of the page should read: If the direct boot doesn't work, you will need to make a boot floppy, which may be either a 3 1/2" or a 5 1/4" diskette. Create a boot floppy by copying the image /cdrom/boot.flp to diskette. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing FreeBSD, page 39. If you have an IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, see also the section on this kind of drive in Chapter 2, Installation Concepts, page 29. Page 43, after first example: remove references to ATAPI. The resultant text should read: Don't try this from MS Windows--the installation will fail with the message not enough memory. The boot will progress in the same way as if you had booted from floppy. The advantage of starting VIEW is that you get more documentation: ultimately VIEW will start INSTALL to boot the system. INSTALL doesn't always work. It depends on what drivers or TSRs are in your system. There's no reason to try changing your MS-DOS configuration to get it to work: it's a lot easier just to boot from floppy (see page 38 for further information). 2. Changes to section on installing a second disk. Page 170: The bottom paragraph should read: When the message Three seconds until format begins... appears, you can still change your mind by hitting CTRL-C before the message Formatting... appears. After that, you can't stop the format: most disks can perform a format by themselves, so scsiformat just issues the command to format the disk. Since there is no SCSI bus activity, the disk activity lamp will also not light up, and since the scsiformat program will just be waiting and not using any CPU time, you could easily get the impression the nothing is going on. The disk format can take a long time--depending on the disk, up to 90 minutes. Page 173, after table 10-5: Add the text If you're unlucky, fdisk will give you a completely different idea of the disk geometry from what scsiformat did. Possibly you can decide by examination which program is wrong, or maybe you can look at the dmesg output for a tie-breaker. In all cases I have seen, it has been fdisk that returned the incorrect information, and only when the disk did not have a valid partition table. For example, this happened with a disk formatted for BSD/OS: # scsiformat sd1 MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48 Mode data length: 35 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 2051615 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 1 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 22 Number of Cylinders: 1760 Number of Heads: 15 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 0 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 5400 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 # fdisk sd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=160 heads=256 sectors/track=50 (12800 blks/cyl) Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 0 is: sysid 255,(BBT (Bad Blocks Table)) start 1023744, size 2108293151 (1029440 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 768/ sector 15/ head 147; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 255 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 101,(Novell Netware 3.xx) start 1646292846, size 1814062195 (885772 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 356/ sector 50/ head 0; end: cyl 256/ sector 50/ head 114 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 0,(unused) start 0, size 0 (0 Meg), flag 61 beg: cyl 364/ sector 37/ head 98; end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0 The data for partition 3 is: Looking at the output from dmesg, we see: (aha0:1:0): "MICROP 2112-15MQ1094802 HQ48" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1001MB (2051615 512 byte sectors) sd1(aha0:1:0): with 1760 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 77 sectors/track In this case, then, you should use the parameters 1760 cylinders, 15 heads, and 77 sectors per track. What's less obvious here is the number of cylinders: fdisk doesn't have an opinion, and scsiformat and dmesg decided it has 2,051,615 sectors. Unfortunately, if you calculate the number according to the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, you'll come up with a different result: in this case 1760 x 15 x 77 = 2,032,800. How come? The disks report the total number of sectors, including spare tracks and such, but you can't use them all. The 2,032,800 is the correct number, and if you try to specify 2,051,615 to disklabel, it will spit out lots of messages about partitions which go beyond the end of the disk. Page 173, middle of page. Change the text after the "no magic" message to: The message no magic doesn't mean that fdisk is out of purple smoke. It refers to the fact that it didn't find the so-called magic number, which identifies the partition table. Since we don't have a partition table yet, this message isn't surprising. It's also completely harmless. Page 173, last example. Remove the first 22 lines, from ******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 ******* to, but not including the next occurrence of this line. Page 177, bulleted list: add the bullet * The total number of sectors in the partition. Calculate the number from the the formula cylinders x heads x sectors, even if you are using the whole disk: the output from dmesg or scsiformat is not correct here. Page 178, middle of page: after # disklabel -w -r /dev/sd1c cdc94161 insert When you do this, expect a kernel message (in high-intensity display) saying ``Cannot find disk label''. Since there isn't any label, it can't be found. This is another harmless chicken and egg problem. Page 182: In the section "Creating the file systems", add the first line to the example: # newfs /dev/rsd1h Further down the page, the last example should also read # newfs /dev/rsd1h 3. Other changes Page 41, after the heading "Installing from an MS-DOS partition". Add the text: It's also possible to install from a primary MS-DOS partition on the first disk. At the moment, it's not possible to install from extended partitions. Page 136, bottom: Add the text If you are changing the root password, be careful: it's easy enough to lock yourself out of the system if you mess things up, which could happen if, for example, you mistyped the password twice in the same way (don't laugh, it happens). If you're running X, open another window and use su to become root. If you're running in character mode, select another virtual terminal and log in as root there. Only when you're sure you can still access root should you log out. Page 152, just before the heading "The online manual". Add: Yes, you really need to run latex three times in order to build the cross-references. Page 199, the end of the multipage table is garbled. It should read: ze0 214 IBM/National Semiconductor PCMCIA ethernet controller zp0 214 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III Page 205: Change the section titled "lpt0" to: lpt0 through lpt2 are the three printer ports you could conceivably have. Most people don't have three printers: you can comment out the definitions of the printers which you don't have. Page 208, bottom of page: swap the italicized headings "Adaptec 274X controller" and "Adaptec 1274X controller" Many thanks to Paul DuBois and Jerry Dunham for finding many of these bugs.

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. ===================================================================== Contents: I: Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions IV: How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction =============== This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with break- ing into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions ============================================== When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG. In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean that you have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. In this case, you do need to tell Majordomo the correct name, and that's when the welcome message from Majordomo comes in handy. If you have not kept it, all is not lost. Send a message to majordomo asking for the list of the members of the group. In the text of the message, write: who freebsd-questions The names returned in the list are not all individual mail IDs: you'll see a number of names like: freebsd-questions-list@datatec.com freebsd-questions-redist@news.uni-stuttgart.de incoming-freebsd-questions@cisco.com freebsd-questions@clinet.fi freebsd-questions@mcs.anl.gov If you're on one of these lists, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. IF ALL ELSE FAILS ----------------- If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to Postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG, and he will sort things out for you. DON'T send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: How to submit a question ============================== When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider the following points: 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message: they look at the subject line and decide whether it interests them. Clearly, it's in your interest to specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Help" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, many people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. A lot of badly formatted messages come from bad mailers. The mailers in the Microsoft world are frequent offenders. If at all possible, use a UNIX mailer. If you must use a mailer under Microsoft environments, make sure it is set up correctly. Try not to use MIME: a lot of people use mailers which don't get on very well with MIME. 4. Make sure your time and time zone are set correctly. This may seem a little silly, since your message still gets there, but many of the people you are trying to reach get several hundred messages a day. They frequently sort the incoming messages by subject and by date, and if your message doesn't come before the first answer, they may assume they missed it and not bother to look. 5. Don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. To summarize, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it. I have a 66 MHz 486 with 16 MB of memory and an Adaptec 1540A SCSI board, a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball disk and a Toshiba 3501XA CD-ROM drive. The installation works just fine, but when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "Missing Operating System". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IV: How to answer a question ============================ Before you answer a question to FreeBSD-questions, consider: 1. A lot of the points on submitting questions also apply to answering questions. Read them. 2. Has somebody already answered the question? The easiest way to check this is to sort your incoming mail by subject: then (hopefully) you'll see the question followed by any answers, all together. If somebody has already answered it, it doesn't automatically mean that you shouldn't send another answer. But it makes sense to read all the other answers first. 3. Do you have something to contribute beyond what has already been said? In general, "Yeah, me too" answers don't help much, although there are exceptions, like when somebody is describing a problem he's having, and he doesn't know whether it's his fault or whether there's something wrong with the hardware or software. If you do send a "me too" answer, you should also include any further relevant information. 4. Are you sure your answer is correct? If not, wait a day or so. If nobody else comes up with a better answer, you can still reply and say, for example, "I don't know if this is correct, but since nobody else has replied, why don't you try replacing your ATAPI CD-ROM with a frog?". 5. Don't do a group reply; lots of people send messages with hundreds of CCs. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, just reply to the person and copy FreeBSD-questions. 6. Trim the original message to the minimum, and use some technique to identify which text came from the original message, and which text you add. I personally find that prepending "> " to the original message works best. Leaving white space after the ">" and leave empty lines between your text and the original text both make the result more readable. Most mailers change the subject line on a reply by prepending a text such as "Re: ". If your mailer doesn't do it automatically, you should do it manually. If the submitter didn't abide by format conventions (lines too long, inappropriate subject line), *please* fix it. In the case of an incorrect subject line (such as "HELP!!??"), change the subject line to (say) "Re: Difficulties with sync PPP (was: HELP!!??)". That way other people trying to follow the thread will have less difficulty following it. In such cases, it's appropriate to say what you did and why you did it, but try not to be rude. If you find you can't answer without being rude, don't answer. If you just want to reply to a message because of its bad format, just reply to the submitter, not to the list. You can just send him this message in reply, if you like.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it was a script on any web site (check your mail logs). It looks to me like a test mail sent either to or from an improperly configured machine or domain.

After booting we execute ifconfig -a and the output is ed0: flags=8822 mtu 1500 ether 00:80:29:67:43:ec lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 tun0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 If we execute "ifconfig ed0 202.229.220.229 netmask 255.255.255.0" (because we didn't include it in /etc/rc file) we get "Jan 20 11:16:12 apt /kernal: ed0: device time out" This message is coming three times.apt is the machine name. If we execute "ifconfig -a" once again ed0: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 202.229.220.229 netmask 0xffffff00 brodcast 202.229.220.255 ether 00:80:29:67:43:ec all the other lo0,lp0,sl0,tun0 are same. If we ping 202.229.220.229 there is no packet loss. If we ping to any other machine we are getting same "device timeout" error thrice and after that "Host is Down" message is coming. And also at random time it is printing "apt last message repeated 5 times" thrice. We have the feeling that the driver is getting loaded properly. (Because it can be able to read the ethernet address and internal ping is working perfectly) There is no I/O conflicts or IRQ conflicts.We have checked it while booting (boot -c "visual" option shows there is no conflicts) We were trying to find out what is that SIOCGIFFLAGS. It is in /usr/include/sys/sockio.h. This says "get ifnet flags". Can you get some idea about the problem?. We are breaking our heads for the past one week (We have to fix it in two days because of tight project schedule). If you have time please look into this problem also.

If I remember right, the probe just looks for the card at the configured IRQ address by reading and writing device memory. Send or recieving a packet uses the interrupt which isn't checked at probe time. If necessary, run your DOS tools to see the IRQ the card is actually configured for. What is printed at startup time is the kernels idea of the IRQ, not the cards actual configuration. Note that this is different from there being any `conflict' of IRQ's assigned. (b) I've seen problems with older NE2K cards on the newer P5 motherboards. Does your card work in the same machine from under DOS? Sometimes fiddling with the motherboard settings (io wait states) etc may help.

I am pretty new at running FreeBSD, and had a few problems. >> I have tried an Intel EtherExpress card, and a Magitronic NE2000 compatible >> card in this machine, but neither seem to work.

Later FreeBSD releases (2.1.6 on) ask you if >you want to do this when the floppy boots. (The visual config) Well, I don't know how or why it happened, but I guess my Magitronic NE2000 wasn't completely NE2000 compatible. It just refused to work. I was surprised to find a card (the Intel EtherExpress) which is directly supported by the OS wouldn't work. So I moved it to a DOS based machine, and ran some tests. It appears it was defective. So I exchanged it, and now my BSD box is on the network. >there are no sio? messages on the bootup messages? Try the same thing >here i guess, but those irq/port #'s should be standard (hah) As for the modem... Right. I have sio0 and sio1 as the ports on the computer itself. When the computer boots it only detects sio0 & 1. Even though I have sio2 (the internal modem) enabled, it returns that it cannot find it. While sio3 is disabled and not probed which is correct. I have moved a few things around in the system just on the weekend, and I am going to try other IRQ's and do another custom kernel again. Maybe things will go better this time.

Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, A few months ago, someone posted an announcement to this list about a modified version of iijppp with NAT support and is readily useable for 2.1.* (or even 2.0.* ?), can someone recall that article or the URL mentioned ? I am still at 2.1R right now and wish to make use of NAT. Alternatively, can one just ftp the 2.2-BETA iijppp source and compile it on 2.1R box to have the IP aliasing (NAT) capability work ? Which dist can iijppp be found in the 2.2-BETA source ?

Please respond if you currently run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform. If you are NOT currently running erpcd on a FreeBSD platform but WOULD run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform if Xylogics officially supported FreeBSD in more than just a single outdated version, please respond as well. DEADLINE: Thursday, Jan. 24 1997 -- I would like to finish this survey quickly, so please respond as soon as possible. I will create a survey results summary and put it online at http://www.infowest.com/erpcd-survey.html on Friday, Jan. 25. SURVEY: * Do you or does your organization currently run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform? (If yes, what version of FreeBSD? 2.0.5R, 2.1R, 2.1.5R, 2.1.6R, 2.1.6-STABLE, 2.2-BETA, or some other version or intermediate version?) * Do you or does your organization currently run erpcd on a BSDI BSD/OS platform? (If yes, what version of BSD/OS?) * Do you or does your organization currently run erpcd on a Linux platform? (If yes, what version?) * Would you or your organization run erpcd on a FreeBSD platform IF Xylogics officially supported FreeBSD beyond a single outdated FreeBSD version (2.0.5R)? * May I use your name, or your organization's name with a contact e-mail address when I contact Xylogics with the results of this informal survey in an effort to encourage them to support FreeBSD? Please specify what name, organization name, and/or e-mail address that I may use. * Please include any other related comments here that you would like included with any message I send to Xylogics. * May I use your contact information and comments on the web page summary? END OF SURVEY That's all! Thank you for your time and cooperation. I hope there is enough interest in FreeBSD to help Xylogics support it. I currently run erpcd on a FreeBSD 2.1.6-STABLE platform, and I've had trouble with their customer support because I'm not running on an officially supported platform, even though I can run the Xylogics supplied 2.0.5R binary or the BSD/OS binary on the same FreeBSD box. The difficulties with Xylogics customer support are what prompted me to do this survey. Again, thanks for your participation.

Run a DOS configuration program to determine the IRQ on the board. Note: you may have IRQ assignments that you are not aware of: 2/15) This IRQ is frequently used by video cards for vertical retrace interrupt 3/4) These IRQ's may remain connected, even if you jumper off your serial ports in your BIOS or with motherboard jumpers 7) This is the printer IRQ. It is also the "garbage" IRQ. You should not use IRQ 7 for anything other than the printer port, an even then you can have problems if you have a "noisy" card (like a soundblaster) in your system. *) You can not share IRQ's with a device, even if it is disabled, so long as it is plugged into the bus, it will most likely drive the line low.

Well, the vesrion we have in the ports tree says it's GNU's m4. And it turnes into m4 so I'm not sure where to go from there.

I'm thinking that the boot (active) flag is what determines what slice FreeBSD will boot from. If one chose not to set the slice as bootable, and bypassed the BootMGR setup, shouldn't the system boot from the original FreeBSD slice, which will be physically after the new FreeBSD slice?

Well, the tape doesn't wrap around a rotating head, etc. like with 8mm.

I believe this is a case where rwhod did not need root privileges, and was therefore modified to change uid to a non-root user after binding its port. Permissions on the directory used to store its data therefore need to be modified so that it is group writable by group 'daemon'.

I apologize in advance if this mail is too long for the list, but I thought it would be more efficient to show you my configuration in one mail rather than in a lot of unclear separate mails. Replies to me instead of the list are fine by me. So, the problem currently: I am running FreeBSD 2.1.0 with a Cyrix 6x86-166 motherboard. Before, I was able to connect via PPP, but didn't have my routing right. Now, the routing looks happy, but my PPP connection is not coming up, even though my dialin script is good. Any help would be appreciated, as I have been trying to fix this myself for about a week. I have read the handbook, and looked for resources. (As an aside...anyone know where in the SF bay area I can buy the Complete FreeBSD book?) The tun0 device has been configured correctly. I have rebuilt the kernel, but only to uncomment the ATAPI and comment the nonexistant items. If I start ppp by doing 'ppp -auto slip' it will try to dial out when I attempt to ping an external system. When I connect manually, I get dial OK! and login OK! but the ppp prompt never changes to PPP, and after a minute or so it hangs up. My ISP's gateway is 204.160.88.1, and I am assigned a dynamix IP in the range 206.14.x.x. The DNS servers are at 204.160.88.10 and .11. Here are my files: /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost steelhead steelhead.slip.net 204.160.88.10 dns.slip.net # so I can ping it 207.171.208.17 slip.net slip-3 /etc/host.conf: hosts bind /etc/resolv.conf: domain slip.net nameserver 207.171.208.10 nameserver 207.171.208.11 /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: default: set speed 115200 set device /dev/cuaa1 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 50 \"\" ATZ OK ATDT\\T CONNECT" slip: set phone 14153565806 set login "gin:--gin: xxxxx word: xxxxxxx" set timeout 900 set ifaddr 206.14.1.1/16 204.160.88.1/8 add 0 0 204.160.88.1 /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: MYADDR: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR And relevant portions from /etc/sysconfig: hostname="steelhead.slip.net" network_interfaces="tun0 lo0" ifconfig_tun0="inet 0 204.160.88.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" (are these ok?) #static_routes="multicast loopback" static_routes="loopback" #route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}" route_loopback="${hostname} localhost" defaultrouter="204.160.88.1" (since I only have the route from my ISP, and no constant network, I don't start routed) routedflags=NO (I don't need to set this on, do I?) gateway=NO Again, thanks very much for any help.

I recently committed an update (from Matt Thomas) to the "de" driver to NetBSD... and it should work with these cards: de0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0 at irq 9 de0: SMC 9332 21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.2 de0: address 00:00:c0:e2:7b:e4 de0: enabling 10baseT port de1 at pci0 dev 11 function 0 at irq 9 de1: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 de1: address 00:c0:f0:16:29:56 de1: enabling 10baseT port Might try the NetBSD-current version of the driver (should have all of the #ifdefs to make it go under FreeBSD).

Problem > solved - much to my relief and shame. Hi! I've another idea. Do you know that with correct termcap/terminfo entries, you can use terminal independent way of redefining function keys? The trick, is that instead of <^V>F3, you have to write: #3, eg: :map #3 :q!<^v> to map F3 to quick exit without save. In this way, you can use the same .exrc on every type of Unix/terminal pair.

It's pretty fine, except for a problem I found. I canned FAQs, handbooks and some materials on the Internet, but I cannnot find any workaround. Could you please let me know how it can be solved if you know ? I have two PCs each has one CD-ROM, Mitsumi FX001 and a ATAPI. When I booted with boot floppy generated with MAKEFLP.BAT, The FreeBSD cannnot find these CD-ROMs. it says no CD-ROM drive on the system. It is true when I booted with INSTALL.BAT. However, after installing it with copying on MS-DOS partition and making its own kernels, it successfully find these CD-ROMs. Moreover. I believe with the older version, i.e. 2.1, I could install it from these CD-ROMs. My questions is: Is there any way to FreeBSD installation process find these CD-ROMs ? Thanks in advance.

I tried Matt's driver back in October/November, with both the new SMC EtherPower 10/100's and the Kingston cards, and it works very very nicely. Unfortunately only under 2.1.*, it was not compatible with 2.2.* without lots of hacking. ...

All full-height drives are *very* reliable (in my experience, much more than an Exabyte). Even if the plastic leader gets caught up in something it's easy to open the drive and put it back in place. As for dust, I again suspect it's better than any other tape in that respect. I've used DLTs in a truck in the middle of the desert without a glitch. When I came back I've found *piles* of sand inside the drive, but it worked.

Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Has anyone managed to get *all* the java utilities with the JDK to work ? For example, appletviewer and java need libXm and since *not* many of us actually have Motif lib, I tried lesstif 0.75a lib but did not work and get the following errors: lespoir:/local/jdk/lib/i386 208 > appletviewer Undefined symbol "_objectClassRec" in java:/usr/local/jdk/lib/i386/libXm.so.1.2 (/usr/local/jdk/lib/i386/libawt.so) Undefined symbol "_objectClassRec" in java:/usr/local/jdk/lib/i386/libXm.so.1.2 (/local/jdk/bin/../lib/i386/libawt.so) java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no awt in shared library path at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary(Runtime.java) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java) at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.(MToolkit.java:37) at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(Toolkit.java:191) at sun.applet.AppletCopyright.(AppletCopyright.java:33) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.mainInit(AppletViewer.java:861) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.main(AppletViewer.java:870) java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: init at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.(MToolkit.java:41) at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(Toolkit.java:191) at sun.applet.AppletCopyright.(AppletCopyright.java:33) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.mainInit(AppletViewer.java:861) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.main(AppletViewer.java:870) Well, this is sort of expected since lesstif 0.75a lib is actually numbered as libXm.so.0.0 and which ever Xm version it really corresponds to is unknown to me and I merely try to rename it to the required version by program, ie to 1.2. So, does anyone know if a versio of Motif-like lib apart from lesstif out there does work with the JDK ? Oh, also, I also tried to use lesstif libXm.so.0.0 with Xemacs (which requires libXm.so.2.0), however got the following errors: lespoir:/usr/X11R6/lib 198 > xemacs ld.so: warning: libutil.so.2.0: minor version < 1 expected, using it anyway Error: No ExtNode to pop! Note that all the packages tried (JDK, xemacs, lesstif etc) are ftp'ed via packages/ports from ftp.freebsd.org with the right patches etc applied.

This also has to be compatible with Win95. Any advice is > appreciated. I have two machines, networked together; the "main machine" is a FreeBSD/Win95 machine, the other is strictly Win95. What did I do? I bought two cheapo NE2000 compatible networking cards, put the printer on the Win95 machine, got the network working under Win95, then brought up FreeBSD on the main machine and installed SAMBA. SAMBA allows your BSD box to understand SMB networking, like Win95 uses. With a little work in the configuration department, I can now print in BSD and have the job printed out on the Win95 machine, while that Win95 machine can use the disk space on my FreeBSD box. On those rare occasions when I bring up Win95 on the main machine, everything works like it should except for the shared space that's on the FreeBSD box. It is nice to be able to telnet in from the Win95 box to my "X is locked up" Unix box and be able to reset things ;-) as well as being able to share the printer. BTW, the printer could have gone on either machine -- if I had the printer on the Unix box, it would have just been a configuration problem to have the Win95 print remotely to the Unix box (actually a little easier to do, as well). When you do it, and you have questions, feel free to write. -- keith.

Ouch, I was planning to do this so I could run two versions of FreeBSD on one disk instead of splitting them across two as I had done in the past, and continue to use a third slice to share /home and other strategic directories: slice 0 - FAT slice 1 - FreeBSD version x.xx (root partition) slice 2 - FreeBSD version y.yy (root partition) slice 3 - FreeBSD shared UFS (/share) So just to make sure that I'm not misinterpreting, even if I install my boot manager (OS/BS 2.0B8) to allow booting off slice 1 or 2, when the BIOS reads the boot record of either slice 1 or slice 2, FreeBSD's loader is going to force-boot off the FreeBSD version installed in slice 1? Would it be hard to fix this? It's too bad we don't support this setup. It'd be particularly handy for developers. I guess I'll just have to fall-back on putting each version on a separate disk.

Again, I've never tried this, and I don't use OS-BS, but the rule of thumb that I've heard around these lists is: One FreeBSD root partition *per disk*. > > Would it be hard to fix this?

No. systat(1) offers similar functionality but doesn't offer running external programs as an option, only a limited set of internal functions. Writing something similar to 'watch' (that is, the "Linux" watch, not the FreeBSD watch which is something completely different :-)) has been on my "todo" list for some time. I quite liked being able to run it in an xterm and keep an eye on, say 'w' and tail -f on one or more logfiles all in the same window.

FreeBSD is a separate operating system. It installs to it's own partition. It does coexist peacefully with Windows 95 though. See ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT or http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html for further details.

It appears either your ISP's dialup server was not working that time or it assumes that everyone will be using Windows95 dialup. Win95 dialup is wired for getty's that can autonegotiate PAP. Unfortunately, I don't think FreeBSD's ppp has been programmed to do this at this time, so you're going to need a login: prompt. That login: needs to be wired to a script that starts ppp automatically. Your ISP should be able to enable this, as it's what they did before win95 was around (if THEY were).

Apparently they changed something in the D rev that zp can't grok. You'll probably need to load on the PAO distribution; it's much more robust than the straight zp0 driver.

I've run into this :) I would suggest buying a cheap drive and put FreeBSD on that. This way, you avoid the nasties of: . moving drive letters . That pesky 500mb can't-boot-above-it limit . Running out of diskspace because you made the partition too small That's what I did and I love it!

Um...Write doesn't work properly. Also, you may not have more than one FreeBSD slice per disk (?). The FreeBSD bootloader may be getting confused and trying to boot you new slice instead of the old one. I think there is a way to convince the bootloader to boot a specific slice, but I'm not sure offhand how. > The screen showed a multitude of errors after the write.

It should be there. Try deleteing the slice with just the swap on it.

You could do this with a shell script that logs you out then initiates a dial in...this is assuming you have an automatic dialin working with ppp or whatever tool is appropriate.

FreeBSD does require unallocated partition space, so you can't install on a FAT partition. You can install FROM one if your CD doesn't appear to work (which it should).

I'm getting the impression that if machine A sends a packet to machine C through firewall B, that the packet will be matched twice, once on it's way in to the firewall, and once on it's way out, though it can be the same rule. Is this correct? I guess what I'm asking is, in a multihomed firewall, does the rule /sbin/ipfw /sbin/ipfw add 1000 pass all from any to any via ed0 in mean that any packet going in via ed0 will be accepted and sent back out privided not blocked by a previous rule?

I poured through the docs and can't find a thing... Run "locate xdm" to find out where your copy of xdm is. Make sure that directory is in your path, or symlink xdm to a directory that is in your path. If you're using a shell that hashes the executable files on the path, you need to type "rehash".

I checked /usr/local/news; the entire hierarchy is owned by either bin or news. Again, I didn't do anything explicit other than make install in /usr/ports/news/cnews, and editing the config files.

I have a home network where a FreeBSD 2.1.6.1 box running Darren Reed's IPFilter package is acting as a gateway to the Internet for a bunch of other machines. I run named on this gateway with different configurations for the different ISPs I use, all invoked by a dial script. My main FreeBSD box sits behind this gateway and points resolv.conf to it. When the modem drops out or the gateway box is not powered on my main FreeBSD box hangs for a while when logging in, invoking an xterm, or using su. It's obviously a nameserver timout problem but I'm buggered if I can work out why the damn thing is querying the nameserver in the first place. I changed the order in resolve.conf to hosts then bind and made sure ALL hosts I use are in the hosts file but still no joy. Even if the gateway box is up and the nameserver is running, if the modem drops out I get the same hangs. Does anyone know what is happening here? Is there any way of fixing it?

Im a newbie of FreeBSD. I had Linux for a year and now i want to install FreeBSD on my computer. Actually i have the "The Complete FreeBSD" book ( very well as a starting point) and a 2.1.5 version of FreeBSD up and running. Love! me : "go away from my hard disk...!" linux : " ok..ok ... dont beat me..." So , i have some question to peoples on this ml. 1 -- Kernel upgrade : Under linux a simple "patch -p0 < patch-xx.xx.xx" is sufficient to upgrade the kernel . Wat is the story about upgrading kernels under FreeBSD ? Can i ftp the newest 2.1.6 or 2.2.0 , put it in /sys/src and make a compile ? In other words : wat is the quickest way to upgrade my system to a newer version of FreeBSD? 2 -- SvgaLIB: Under Linux i have Svgalib .Wat is the svgalib for FreeBSD? 3 -- ZIP Drive: I have a parallel port ZIP drive .

The differences between 2.1.6 and 2.2 are many. To sum it up, 2.2 has many new features and major new rewrites of old features, but 2.1.6 is very stable and reliable. You can find the release notes for both on the web site, but if you have no experience with UNIX you probably will not care about most of those things, if they mean anything to you at all. As for installation, you can either get a CD from WC (www.cdrom.com) or install from the web. Look at: http://www.freebsd.org/where.html http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html As you will see, under most configurations you do not have to reformat your hard drive, but just create a new partition on it. This can either be done with the free fips utility that comes with FreeBSD or with PartitionMagic (commercial at http://www.partition.com). After you read the guides on the web, you can pretty much do it yourself. You can always post questions to this list if you have any.

Here is a small program that builds all dns related files in your machine. It only needs the address of a root name server. It can be any one like: 200.250.250.14 or 200.247.7.3 or 150.162.1.3 or ... any computer in USA that runs a DNS. 1) First setup /etc/hosts with the name of your machine and ip like: a.b.c.d your.complete.machine.name (from the hostname) 2) execute the program (it will overwrite the /etc/named.boot, /etc/resolv.conf and /var/named directory). 3) start named : named -b /etc/named.boot Should work for the first setup of your machine. other more sofisticated dns setting up has to be done by hand... but.. is a "start".

For educational |purposes I would like to setup a network with our 2 computers, for printer |sharing and transferring file, ect. How should I set this up? Should I use |2 Ethernet cards? This also has to be compatible with Win95. Any advice is |appreciated. I have the same situation and have had fun playing around with it. I've had 115200 baud SLIP, PLIP, and Ethernet all three going between them at different times. I eventually ended up with ethernet because I got tired of the download times associated with SLIP, and PLIP dogs FreeBSD badly for saturating transfers (no support for EPP/ECP there). For SLIP, you just need a NULL-modem adapter and a straight-through serial cable -- easy to make and cheap at hamfests/computerfests, and Radio Shack has them if nothing else. For PLIP, just need the equivalent for parallel. Look for a LapLink cable at your local computer store. For Ethernet, just need a couple ethernet boards and a cable. I'd suggest getting boards that have both 10Base2 (RG-58 coax cable) and 10BaseT (RJ-45 "twisted pair" cable). With 2 computers, the cheapest way to connect with ethernet is with an RJ-45 cross-over cable. That way you don't need a hub. If you put a third computer on (or if you plan to sometime)a, you can switch to coax (a little more expensive) and still not need a hub. I'm currently running a cheapo NE2000 card on FreeBSD 2.1 (ed driver) on one PC, and an NE2100 compatible card (Allied Telesyn AT1500BT) (lnc driver) on the other PC. Have fun!

I had thought of using some spare parts to build a freebsd-based bridge that would have two NICs, one 10 and one 100 and have it forward all packets between the two interfaces. Is this possible and how difficult will it be? How powerful of a cpu would be needed (not much, I'd think)? My other option is to buy a dedicated bridge device, but that seems to be pretty expensive and less flexible than the fbsd bridge idea. Anyone know of such a device in the $250 range?

FreeBSD does not support bridging at the moment, but you can still configure it as a router between 10/100 networks. I have some bridging code available from my home page (compiles under FreeBSD, but it requires no OS to run -- either a .COM file or a ROM) which only supports "ed" cards (WD8xxx, NE2000, etc., both ISA and PCI). I am waiting for someone to add support for "de" cards (based on the 21x4x chipset) to netboot, at which point it will be straightforward to build a 10/100 multiport bridge. I have even tried to port the de driver myself but don't have enough time (and possibly, skill) to dedicate to this task.

After some major mucking about and a kernel rebuild, my system is *almost* running happily. Two things that used to work, now don't. First during the boot process, after printing the device probing stuff, the machine writes: lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 starting routing daemon: routedrouted: router/udp: unknown service . clearing /tmp recording kernel -c changes starting system daemons: syslogd starting network daemons: syslogd: syslog/udp: unknown service I am still able to make a ppp (client side) internet connection and do 'slogin's; but services (which rely on udp) like rlogin and telnet no longer function. For example: tomcat:/etc/ppp> rlogin grove.ufl.edu rlogin: warning, using standard rlogin: can't get entry for klogin/tcp service. rlogin: login/tcp: unknown service. I haven't modified the networking section of /etc/sysconfig, nor touched /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/services, and /etc/protocols. Second, I'm no longer able to get my printer to function in interrupt-driven mode. This isn't a critical problem, because the printer does work in polled-mode, but it would be nice to know what is going on. I checked my kernel configuration file for IRQ conflicts and haven't found any. Is there anyway to get list of IRQ (and DRQ)'s from a running system? Is it possibly something other than a hidden IRQ conflict? Any pointers on how to resolve either of these issues would be most appreciated.

I most certainly have it working here on this end. The only trouble I have had is that although I specify the right IRQs, the plug and pray support for the screen seems to be quite qwilling to steal the IRQ. my solution was to use the Fn-f1 combination to change the port/irq of the modem and the IrDA link to avoid the address it sets it to bymoving it up to 4. > > but it doesn't seem to want to believe my modem is a honest to goodness > serial device ... any ideas ? > Hmm it appears to my tip/ppp as a serial hayes comaptible modem > i understand that the thinkpad switches the io ports between several > different serial devices (there is a win95 util to do this)... i do not > know if this 'state' is preserved across resets, but would hope it is, > if not is there an 'init' type of thing that i can write ?

How are the users retreiving the email? If it's pop/MS Exchange, I believe there's a bug in MS Exchange that throws the time off, it seems to be adjusting from UTC to localtime twice.

No. :-) I think there is a kernel build how-to somewhere (perhaps in the FAQ?), but basically you need to: 1) cd /sys/i386/conf and copy GENERIC to 'YOURCONFIG' 2) edit it and take out anything you know that you don't need 3) config 'YOURCONFIG' 4) cd /sys/compile/'YOURCONFIG'; make depend; make; make install -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 22 13:53:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA29890 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 13:53:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.canon.com (gatekeeper.canon.com [205.227.186.66]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA29884 for ; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 13:52:58 -0800 (PST) Received: by gatekeeper.canon.com; id NAA26168; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 13:52:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from unknown(146.184.10.8) by gatekeeper.canon.com via smap (3.2) id xma026147; Wed, 22 Jan 97 13:52:10 -0800 Received: by cisncdc.canon.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.994.63) id <01BC086B.7608C3A0@cisncdc.canon.com>; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 13:52:09 -0800 Message-ID: From: "Boatwright, Charles" To: "'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: Left handed mousing Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 13:51:18 -0800 X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.994.63 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have searched the archives and searched the FAQ and Handbook.

I need to put together a low cost but fast pentium 166 freebsd machine. The box will be used for mail server, dns server, web server, and ftp server -- all which is fairly low volume (our inet connection is only 56k). This server will be sitting on the ethernet only and will not be dialed into directly (we have a nailed 56k conenction via a dedicated router). My question is this: most mother boards have a built in EIDE controller and IDE drivers are much cheaper then SCSI. What is the approx performance hit buy using EIDE instead of Wide SCSI for a FreeBSD system? I need to put this system together as cheap and possible but I need it as fast as possible. I am shooting for a 166mhz pentium with 64meg of ram and a eide/scsi 2 gig drive. One last thing, is there support for IDE CD-ROM in 2.1.5-RELEASE?

I would like to help with the FBSD project, however at this time I feel my programming skills are not up to the level that I feel is required to be helpful. Are there any small projects that a beginning programmer can help code? I enjoy using FBSD, but I would really like to give something back. How can I help? (FYI: I'm curently taking the second C++ class and a beginning assembly langauage class. About 7 or 8 years ago I took a few classes in Pascal, but I don't remember very much about Pascal.)

That's right -- I run my disks on multi-block mode, I should know that.

You may need to explicity give the location to your kernel on the Boot: prompt, then rebuild your kernel with the proper location on the 'kernel' config line. ie, if your root is on the second disk, type: wd(1,a)/kernel Or on the first: wd(0,a)/kernel Hope this helps. Also, if you're running 2.1, you might catch the 2.2-RELEASE bus when it comes by -- 2.1.0 is pretty old.

For the most part, the best way is to grab the boot floppy for the release in question and use the 'upgrade' option.

Not really. I have the URL for a driver, but it's not included in the system and I have no idea how to hack it in.

Make sure the files are in C:\FREEBSD (it MUST be a primary partition!!) and the .INF files are there with the distribution archives.

For clarity: a SLICE is an entry in the DOS "partition" table that's edited using DOS FDISK. a PARTITION is a part of the SLICE you've allocated, under which a filesystem (like /) resides. FreeBSD requires one SLICE and one only. I hope you didn't mean that you created a separate slice for each filesystem.

I would think you can, I haven't ever installed Win95 myself so I can't say. Those access modes you want to *LEAVE ALONE* if it's working fine.

It is true when I booted with INSTALL.BAT. Do they show up during the boot sequence? Try hitting 'scroll-lock' and using the up arrow key to see the boot messages. I seem to remember the FX001's not quite coforming to ATAPI spec so FreeBSD doesn't find them. You might also try moving them to the slave position on the primary controller if they aren't there already; otherwise, alone on the secondary controller. > However, after installing it with copying on MS-DOS partition > and making its own kernels, it successfully find these CD-ROMs. > Moreover.

The mouse doesn't work anyway, but some systems do have problems with the keyboard.

This is why the files are split into bite-size chunks, so if the xfer fails you don't have to refetch everything.

I am eventually going to want the development files too. XUser probably includes bin, manpages, info, src/ssys, and basic X - bin, cfg, lib, doc, man, and an X server. I think :) You might try a custom install, it gives you better control over what's installed so you can tailor it to what you don't have.

It still works, but it's a rather aggravating delay period. Take a look at: netstat -rn /etc/resolv.conf Perhaps there is something set there (or isn't) that is delaying the lookup. Maybe you're forgetting to define a default route when you go on via pppd but are when using ppp. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 22 17:01:47 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id RAA15294 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 17:01:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA15283 for ; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 17:01:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA10453; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 17:01:31 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 17:01:31 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Carl Makin cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: logon hangs.

More likely to be a problem with some assumptions your CGI is making that happens to be true on your system but not their's. If it's hard coded, it's probably wrong. Also, different httpd servers send different environment variables. Most vars are the same but there are differences. For example, with Apache we have the very handy DOCUMENT_ROOT to eliminate some of that nasty hard coding. Netscape's server doesn't have an equivilent variable, we had to use cwd (Perl) and getcwd(3) :( Have the client run an environment printing CGI on both servers and compare the output.

And even if you copy the tcsh or whatever over to /bin, it is probably dynamically linked and needs the libraries in /usr/lib to run. The only way to do it is compile/link your own shell so you know it is statically linked, copy this to /bin and then change the password file to point to the new shell.

I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my p5 133Mhz. I have two hard drives installed on different IDE ports, rather than both on one with one master and the other one slave. I would like to set up DOS on one and UNIX on the other using the boot manager to choose. After I install UNIX on the 2nd disk, with DOS on the first, it boots DOS without asking about UNIX. When I Have it set up the other way around, with UNIX as the 1st disk and DOS as the 2nd the boot manager comes up but does not have a selection for DOS and both choices go to UNIX. What do I need to do? Thanks for your time.

What do I need to do? Install Booteasy on the first disk. FreeBSD's sysinstall is a bit stupid when it comes to doing the Right Thing when installing Booteasy -- if you install on the second disk, that's where it goes. Follow these simple instructions: 1. copy bootinst.exe and boot.bin off the CDROM or ftp site from /tools to your hard disk 2. run bootinst 3. Reboot and use. Hope this helps.

You're in my boat. You can ask in hackers@freebsd.org for programming bits. Or, we need document writers and support people as much as programmers! Check out the Handbook and freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list for how to help with documentation. Tune into the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org list or the newsgroup comp.os.unix.freebsd.misc (?) for first-line support. Your pascal will help you for structure but not for programming; Unix uses pretty much exclusively C, not even much assember except for kernel bits. Hope this helps!

Are you saying installer kernel is not the case ? If you're installing anything from 2.1.5 on, the ATAPI support is built into the kernel. The FX001 has to be ATAPI/IDE compatible for it to be found.

You don't want to. :( If it works on one machine and they're networked, then you can put the CD up for FTP or NFS mount then point sysinstall at it. What changes do you make to the kernel to get it working?

Unless you modify sio1 in UserConfig (-c) to com4's settings, you will need to move your modem to COM1 or COM2 for FreeBSD's boot floppy to see it. You can fix it once your rebuild your kernel.

One more thing: If your disk is the master on the secondary EIDE chanel (i.e. wd2), this will still probably not work for you. At the end of the kernel startup you'll get the "panic: cannot mount root" message. In this case your only chance for 2.1.0 (if I remember correctly) is to build a kernel with the line: config kernel root on wd2 in it. You'll need to move your drive to another position to do that. For 2.1.5 and above you'll be able to boot with 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the boot prompt, but I think this will not work with 2.1.0. > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 22 23:51:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA04805 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 23:51:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA04792 for ; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 23:51:34 -0800 (PST) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id JAA21154; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 09:50:18 +0200 (IST) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma021147; Thu Jan 23 09:49:59 1997 Message-ID: <32E7181E.F34@barcode.co.il> Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 09:49:50 +0200 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Jim Bentley CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: csh scripting References: <199701230036.SAA01696@main.intcomm.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Jim Bentley wrote: > > When attempting to execute a foreach command in csh script the variables are > not set correctly. > > foreach user (cat /usr/local/www/file.lst) > > The user variable is set equal to "cat /usr/local/www/file.lst" instead of > the the data in the lines of the file. > > Any ideas. > Thanks You need the backquotes, like so: foreach user (`cat /usr/local/www.file.lst`) Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Jan 22 23:58:23 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA05026 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 23:58:23 -0800 (PST) Received: from gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (gatekeeper.barcode.co.il [192.116.93.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA05021 for ; Wed, 22 Jan 1997 23:58:18 -0800 (PST) Received: (from smap@localhost) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il (8.7.5/8.6.12) id JAA21187; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 09:55:48 +0200 (IST) X-Authentication-Warning: gatekeeper.barcode.co.il: smap set sender to using -f Received: from localhost.barcode.co.il(127.0.0.1) by gatekeeper.barcode.co.il via smap (V1.3) id sma021183; Thu Jan 23 09:55:38 1997 Message-ID: <32E7196A.F7C@barcode.co.il> Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 09:55:22 +0200 From: Nadav Eiron X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Doug White CC: Dave Schneider , questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: A simple question References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Doug White wrote: > > On Wed, 22 Jan 1997, Dave Schneider wrote: > > > I was wondering if you could solve a problem for me.

Why? You could probably add options GPL_MATH_EMULATE to your kernel config and it may override it. If yours is buggy, you missed the boat, Intel would swap you.

Considering that the guspnp6 patchkit is built for 2.2-ALPHA/BETA, I'm surprised it even compiled on current. It works just great on this 2.2-BETA box with a GUS PnP. I would *highly* suggest tuning into the freebsd-multimedia list, which is where the sound hackers hang out. I believe OSS is interested in developing for FreeBSD, but you'll have to ask the multimedia list for full details.

It may be close to the EtherPower^2, which is a Etherpower 10mb with 2 chips on it. The big question is if your BIOS will assign one PCI card two IRQs. My Phoenix 4.0x (12/94) won't, but you have to hand-crank the PCI settings.

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.0, and got this when mounting my dos drive which was 500Meg. However, I used FIPS to change the partition information from one that was originally 1.2 Gig to split off 700Meg for FreeBSD. I wonder if FIPS causes this in some ways, by modifying an existing 'partition', instead of initially creating a whole new 'partition'. It mounted ok, but when I ran a find on the /c fs, it choked and ended up nuking all of the filesystems, and I ended up having to reinstall. Oddly, the DOS partition survived intact. I don't know how I should feel about that :) Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 23 02:07:20 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id CAA11939 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 02:07:20 -0800 (PST) Received: from narcissus.ml.org (brosenga.st.pitzer.edu [134.173.120.201]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA11932 for ; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 02:07:16 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ben@localhost) by narcissus.ml.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id CAA03454; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 02:07:06 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 02:07:06 -0800 (PST) From: Snob Art Genre To: Tyler Schutjer cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Please help...

Because you should never edit /etc/passwd directly. Use vipw instead. You can set root's EDITOR environment variable to change the editor that vipw invokes.

The upgrade is in the form of a tape which automatically upgrades the firmware, and works in both the 4584NP and 4586NP (DDS1 and DDS2, respectively). The oddest problem was that these drives did not work properly (under MS Windows NT with ARCserve) until we turned off the IDE controllers.

This worked with the 3.1 server but I have been unable to find how to make it work with the latest version :-( However, if your are using emacs, there exist packages to easily type accented characters (I use electric-accents).

I think the vipw method is preferable since it does all the file locking for you. I recommend *not* removing the entry from /etc/passwd but, rather, filling the password field with ``*'' to effectively prohibit the user from using the account. This allows /etc/passwd to serve as an informal record of current AND PREVIOUS login id's. On a small system, it's great. On a larger system, you probably want to create a *separate* database to hold expired logins (maybe passwd.deleted??). This helps insure that a login doesn't get reused too quickly -- embarassing when "bob" #1's email starts being received by "bob" #2! It also gives you a record of old accounts in case you receive some complaint at a future date, etc. In addition to 'rm -r ~username' you probably want to 'rm /var/mail/username' (or, if you're a nice guy, archive this stuff for a month or so off line). You should also check to make sure there are no aliases setup for the user. And, searching the file hierarchy for *all* files owned by that user can be a win -- especially if the user has left something that might cause problems later... (e.g., check ~ftp). --don From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 23 09:18:37 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA00453 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 09:18:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from post-ofc03.srv.cis.pitt.edu (root@post-ofc03.srv.cis.pitt.edu [136.142.185.39]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA00419 for ; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 09:18:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from local (root@localhost) by post-ofc03.srv.cis.pitt.edu (8.8.4/cispo-2.0.1.7) ID ; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 12:18:17 -0500 (EST) Received: via switchmail; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 12:18:17 -0500 (EST) Received: from pop.srv.cis.pitt.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 12:17:08 -0500 (EST) Received: from ehdup-i-2.rmt.net.pitt.edu (ehdup-i-2.rmt.net.pitt.edu [136.142.21.172]) by pop.srv.cis.pitt.edu with SMTP (8.8.4/cispop-1.6.1.4) ID ; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 12:17:04 -0500 (EST) Received: by ehdup-i-2.rmt.net.pitt.edu with Microsoft Mail id <01BC0927.31C06C40@ehdup-i-2.rmt.net.pitt.edu>; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 12:16:00 -0500 Message-ID: <01BC0927.31C06C40@ehdup-i-2.rmt.net.pitt.edu> From: John Duncan To: Nadav Eiron Cc: Jen and Luke , "questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: RE: EIDE drives Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 12:03:20 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ---------- From: Doug White[SMTP:dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 1997 10:56 AM To: Nadav Eiron Cc: Jen and Luke; questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: EIDE drives Here I go trying to understand the difference between EIDE and IDE and screw it up massively. :-) Will someone please fill me in? I don't consider a difference between the two. ---- What I gather on the subject: First and foremost, the ide/eide/ata/ata-2 specifications only truly became specified with ata, and nobody felt the need to follow the specification exactly. Before the ata-2 standard came out, there were vlb card manufacturers and drive makers who wanted to provide a 32-bit bus and a couple of higher clock rates to the drives, so they could write "32-bit" on their boxes, and people would buy them. FreeBSD supports some of these features, such as 32-bit pio multi-block transfers, and the ability to select in the kernel-config whether we want to use these features, and how much we want to transfer. What we don't seem to provide is the selectable clock-rates for the drives. My promise bios starts drives automatically at speed 2, and then the win95 driver steps this speed up to the reccommended setting (or user-defined setting) for the drive.

Why have i to > install and recompile everyting ?!.. [soapbox on] Because we do not do things the way Linux does. FreeBSD is composed of highly organized RELEASES. One kernel version, one set of binaries, one published install set. Not ten. When you get the FreeBSD CDROM, you can say, "This IS FreeBSD," not, "This is xyz's mishmash of FreeBSD." We (well, I) don't like people having radically different kernel and binary versions, it makes for a support headache. It's so much easier when people say "I'm running 2.1.5-RELEASE" because we all know what went into 2.1.5. With Linux, you have people say "im running kernel version xxx and binary version yyy and lib version zzz...." ad inifintum ad nauseum. What a pain! (This is one reason why I use FreeBSD, btw.) [soapbox off] You can just grab the kernel source and cross your fingers that your old stuff will work. Unfortunately you will loose out on many of the non-kernel related system upgrades and fixes. > The last night i have ftped the ssys.** of the 2.1.6 dist, unpacked it > and compiled in the sys dir ; All works correctly with no "make world" > commands . You don't have to 'make world' to upgrade; just perform the install procedure like you did when you initially installed, but this time select 'upgrade' from the main menu instead of 'Novice' or whatever you selected. People that track the source tree (-current) have to make world every so often, but the rest of the world just uses the boot floppy upgrade procedure. > Why have i to "make world" every time i have the new kernel ? make world doesn't build a new kernel. 'cd /sys/i386/conf; config MYKERNEL; cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL; make depend && make && make install' makes a new kernel. You may make changes to your kernel without upgrading the rest of the system, ie if you buy a SCSI adapter that you excluded before, you can add it into your kernel config file, rebuild, install, and reboot, and your system won't notice the difference except you suddenly have a SCSI controller (and associated devices). See the Handbook for full details on kernel building; there is a very nice section there with many details. > Another question for you : > Under linux the gcc is 2.7.2 and libc is 5.4.17 . Under FreeBSD the > version is older : gcc 2.6.3 and libc 2.2 ( at least in my dist ). The libc versions do not match between systems; do not even attempt to compare them. :) If you upgraded the binaries when you updated to 2.1.6, you would have got gcc 2.7.2.1. > And how can i upgrade the gcc/libc/libg++ ? Can i ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu > the src and compile them ? No, you cannot; there are many FreeBSD-specific fixes in gcc that make it uncompilable by normal mortals directly from distribution. If you felt sadistic you could checkout the gcc source from the FreeBSD source tree and build it yourself, but I think that upgrading using the normal method would save you many headaches and lots of aspirin. Hope this helps you understand our way of doing things. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Jan 23 11:33:11 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id LAA06059 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 11:33:11 -0800 (PST) Received: from gdi.uoregon.edu (gdi.uoregon.edu [128.223.170.30]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id LAA06051 for ; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 11:33:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (dwhite@localhost) by gdi.uoregon.edu (8.8.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id LAA07443; Thu, 23 Jan 1997 11:33:00 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 11:32:59 -0800 (PST) From: Doug White X-Sender: dwhite@localhost Reply-To: Doug White To: Robert Chalmers cc: bsd Subject: Re: how many users of FreeBSD are there?

It's rather bad in that it does not adjust the clustersize when it splits partitions. 1.2GB disks have something like a 64k clustersize; dropping it to 700mb may actually need a 32k clustersize, but FIPS doesn't change it. > It mounted ok, but when I ran a find on the /c fs, it choked and > ended up nuking all of the filesystems, and I ended up having to > reinstall.

The C:\ disk is 400 MB in size and has 60 MB of free space; Windows 3.11 is installed on this disk. The D:\ disk is 1.96 GB in size and has 1.66 GB of free space; Win95 is installed on this disk. I'm relatively new to dealing with the "guts" of PCs and would appreciate some assistance with the following questions: 1. If it's possible, I would like to install FreeBSD (preferably on the D:\ disk) as an addition to the dual boot. Do you know of any reason that it would not be feasible to do this? (My goal is to learn CGI programming, probably using Perl at the outset, and I'm trying to set up the PC with this in mind.) 2. In the information provided on your Web site about installing FreeBSD, I found a brief mention of partitioning, about which I have very little practical knowledge. Should partitioning be done when installing FreeBSD under circumstances such as those described above? If not, under what conditions would one partition a disk? Could partitioning interfere with the existing dual boot and, if so, are any good alternatives available? 3. If partitioning is necessary, how would I go about doing it (e.g., could you suggest any particular programs to use)? 4. Is there anything else I should know about this undertaking that could help me to avoid messing up my system? :-) 5. How much do you charge for the CD-ROM disk containing FreeBSD, and about long would it take to get it? What forms of payment do you accept?

Is this network card screwing up. (Don't think it's network, as it is responding the same with either card) Am I just _stupid_?

The system needs to have an application (I think they call it VI) where I can create, edit and compile C++ programs. 3. If I can connect to the school UNIX system is it through dialup using my ISP?

Is there a way to get the Win95 dialer to talk to a SLiRP ppp connection? My roommate connects through the Serial port to get internet access when I am tying up the one dialup connection we have. He has been able to get Trumpet to talk to the SLiRP (in slip/cslip mode), however when he tries to use PPP, it will not talk.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok, I'm having major problems installing FreeBSD on my system. Tried to do it via FTP, no go...never could get through. So, in my strong desire to set up this system, I bought the CD. Now, I'm running Win95 on a Compaq Presario P90. The CD type (as reported by Win95) is a Sony type, and I made sure during the unix bootup that that was the one left, but unfortunately it was unable to recognize the drive in the unix environment. So, the next thing I tried was loading from a DOS Partition. I have a 2 Gig hard drive (well, I have 2 hard drives) and it's set up at the slave drive to the other one. So, it's D:. That's also where I've set up my partition for FreeBSD. Well, I copied the entire CD to that drive, went into install mode, and apparently it doesn't care to install from the same physical drive that the unix partition is on. So, I moved most of what I wanted over to the Master drive, C:, and tried the install from there. Now, this was a success, it appeared to have installed everything I wanted....with one exception..Bootmanager didn't work at all, I mean, I didn't even get the little prompt that's talked about in the troubleshooting section....nada, nunca, zip, zilch. Now, I'm not so concerned about being able to boot up with my hard drive and having the choice of a unix partition or my dos one....I'd love to be able to access my unix stuff with just booting from a floppy, and I can't even seem to set that up (what the hell do I need and where to make that boot floppy for that, all I seem to get on the CD is the tools to make an install boot floppy) So, after many hours spent trying different tweaks and twiddles, I've had it with trying it on my own and am turning to the experts. If there is some number I can call for tech support, I'd be much obliged, for I feel it might be resolved much quicker that way than a series of emails playing question and answer. Regardless, thanks for your time.

If you are running an older version of FreeBSD (2.1 or earlier?), there should be a file on the second CD called kernel.atapi which has the ATAPI support built in. I used that to get the CD going, then got the sources off the CD from inside FreeBSD and built a custom kernel. Remember, before you install a new dist, remember to back up your /etc files, as some (all) files will be replaced.

For serial communication, you may want to simply use RS422 instead of RS232. Look into catalogs for industrial PCs and the like. They are sure to carry serial cards that support that. RS422 supports distances of up to 2km (1.25 miles) at speeds of up to 1Mbps. I think an RS422 card with a 16550 UART on it should look just like a standard serial port to FreeBSD (does any one have any experience with it?). It will probably miss most of the modem control lines, so will have to resort to software flow control or something.

In a half page sidebar they document "The Linux Alternative", by Peter Varhol, in which they set up Apache on a 33Mhz, 16MB 486. It concludes Overall, if you're looking for a fast, inexpensive way to get a Web site up and running and you have a working knowledge of Unix, there are few better choices than Linux. Given the recent spate of volunteers to write articles, perhaps someone could contact them with a rebuttal? I think there's an opportunity here to do a complete article, concentrating on 'Web Servers for Unix', with the OS in question being FreeBSD. There's even an opportunity for a "The NT Alternative" sidebar, to conclude "Overall, if you're looking for a fast, inexpensive way to get a Web site up and running, there are few worse choices than NT. . ." I'll plead lack of time, lack of resources, and lack of article writing skill. The person to contact is probably Michael Floyd, editor in chief, at editors@web-techniques.com. The URL of their web site is left as an exercise for the reader. . .

Standard crypt routines are not exportable from the US, because we need to make sure no nuts or foreign politicians get ahold of software that might let them have some privacy, and we all know the good ol' USA is the only source of encryption software. Sarcasm aside, I think you just need to install the DES distribution. Of course, doing this after-the-fact may cause you to loose all your passwords. On a related note, the Burns-Leahy bill is to be introduced to Congress Jan 28th, and calling your congressmen and asking him to support it would be a good idea, for those of you who are US citizens.

Well, it turns out that "ddd-2.1.0.tar.gz" was actually ddd v1.3b (for FreeBSD 2.1.0...). So it would appear that the latest and greatest version "carried by" FreeBSD is 1.4c (Nate uses this one, as well as several other people who responded and I forget their names.. :-)). It seems that DDD is quite a popular GUI debugger. Unfortunately, it's not compiled up for version 2.0 yet -- so us folks without Motif can't use it. On the plus side, I tried out 1.4c and it seems quite excellent!! Now I really want to see 2.0! Maybe this weekend I'll dig into LessTif and see if I can get it compiled...

If you really want a root login account, create another account with uid/gid of zero. I have a 'rootb' account on my machines, which is root with the bash shell. This leaves root in the standard configuration, but gives me a login account with a usable shell. ;^) BTW, doing an 'su' without using '-' is dangerous, you often have PATH entries in your account that you *really don't want* while root. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

What is the approx > performance hit buy using EIDE instead of Wide SCSI for a FreeBSD system? If you're talking about a system with a single disk, not that much. IDE will place a higher load on the system while acessing the disk, which will compete with compute-bound processed, but it doesn't sound like you're really planning on doing much that is compute-bound. > I need to put this system together as cheap and possible but I need it as > fast as possible. I am shooting for a 166mhz pentium with 64meg of ram No, you don't. If this machine is really going to just be a server for mail, dns, ftp, and www, you only need something fast enough to keep up with your ethernet. If you're using 10 Mbps ethernet, save your money on the CPU and buy more RAM instead. An AMD K5/75 will do everything you need just fine, and you should be able to find the CPU for under $50. > and a eide/scsi 2 gig drive. You can, of course, get PCI motherboards with onboard SCSI as well. PCI SCSI controllers using the NCR chips with on-board BIOS are generally available for around $125. In your case, I don't think IDE is really going to hurt your performance unless you expect this server to get really pounded. > One last thing, is there support for IDE CD-ROM in 2.1.5-RELEASE? Yup. Some esoteric IDE CD-ROMs don't work, but most of the mainstream drives seem to work find.

All that ed1 is "programmed" with is its IP address. If you have already changed host and domain name in /etc/sysconfig then edit /etc/hosts and change the names there too.

While doing so I have discovered that Linux is not the only Free PC compatible UNIX out there; i.e. FreeBSD. I've noticed that there are what appears to be different BSD implementations out there that all use the BSD name; FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSDI, etc. What's the difference? Is there a difference? I get the impression that they are all very similar with some exceptions. Could you shed any light on this subject? Thanks in advance.

Nope. Your options are far better than Linux. You can cvsup -stable or -current, make world whenever you want, and never have to buy another CDRom or do a massive FTP. This includes all the binaries, in addition to the kernel. You can FTP any snapshots or installs that are available. If you want to parallel linux, you can even sup or ftp just the kernel. And just like with linux, if you do this and the kernel requires updated tools, you'll get bitten in the behind if you're not following the discussions. Except for the very first FreeBSD machine we put in here, we've always had the latest stable version of FreeBSD installed before the WC CDRom arrived. I'm a Linux convert, largely because of this. RedHat has certain parts of their distribution broken in subtle ways, and Slackware is no better off. In other areas, they're not broken, but still different. Finally, I'm still baffled by the fact that Linux 2.0.0 had a broken select() call. Sorry for being so grouchy, but that one bit me hard.

Either option is acceptable, though FreeBSD has limited support for floppy tape drives.

Every day I automatically update my cvs tree and effectively have every version of every piece of FreeBSD code (since 2.0) on my system at all times (for reference or whatever.) I don't loose my previous version of a piece of code by upgrading my local repository. (You can do that too.) FreeBSD's cvs tree has version control, and that version controlled tree includes the utilities and not just the kernel. You certainly don't have to wait for a CD. > > Yes , i understand .

Good choice. > Any thoughts? Anyone else running 2.2 on a news server? Yup. We upgraded ours a while ago on a whim (or perhaps it was a well thought out upgrade, we're not sure). It's been running 2.2 flawlessly since 01/08/1997. Well, not quite flawlessly - it spontaneously rebooted once between then and now, and we still haven't figured out what caused it, but it hasn't happened since. Running with noatime makes the server quite happy compared to its previous incarnation as 2.1.6 box. Overall, the system is performing better with the same resources.

References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Primarily, I would like to say that the FreeBSD distribution is the greatest thing that I have happened upon in the computing community since I registered Jay Cotton's KALI software. "shameless plug-gamers check it out" All of the users here at this mailing list have been a great help. KUDOS to the whole FreeBSD organization and commuinity. Perhaps I am little too "fresh" to UNIX to be commenting here, but I simply cannot resist. Lets use a small comparison to examine matra's posting. Lets say I want to do all the things that the FreeBSD CDROM distribution will allow. Let's say I will attempt to do these things using a commercially available OS like...oh say... Windows NT. Now what other functionanlity to do we need to add to our system to make it match that of the freebsd distibution on CDROM. Well, lets buy a database and word proccesing. Lets add some http server. We'll need mail, news and ftp. Lets use netscapes package of goodies to make our shopping easier. Windows NT $400 Office $400 Netscape Suite $3500 --------------------- Total $4300 Hmmm. Wallnut creek CDROM. 50 smackers. Lets see how many upgrade we can get for FreeBSD for the price of one of our alternate setups. That would be 86. Assuming that a new distribution came out once per year you can upgrade your system for the next 86 years. WOOOOW!! That is a great value. But it gets even better. You can update FreeBSD the same you told us you update LINUX. Use FTP. How much does this cost? It is FREE!! Regarding a commercial arrangement between Walnut Creek and FreeBSD. So what if there is. If FreeBSD gets any compensation from Walnut Creek that can only mean that FreeBSD will have more resources eith which to make great free software for me. I appreciate free fully featured software. When I get heavy enuff I will, in turn, make my contribution to the cause. Now, concerning a curious need to not have the same setup as everyone else. The 'alternate' setup described does not come with source code. Not much flexibility there. You can write just about any functionality into existing code using the FreeBSD distribution. Hack at it. As a closing comment... OPINION != KNOWLEDGE I.E. Know what your talking about _before_ you levy criticsms against the group of people who have worked hard only to hear you gripe. They at least deserve a well formulated gripe. matra wrote: > > On Thu, 23 Jan 1997, Doug White wrote: > > > On Mon, 20 Jan 1997, matra wrote: > > > > > Under Linux i have only to patch the kernel and recompile!

Sometimes ping works, sometimes it doesn't. Telnet sometimes gets through but then freezes after logging in; sometimes it does not get in. NFS sometimes mounts stuff, sometimes freezes. The FreeBSD machine is an Intel Pentium 166, 3Com 3C509 NIC, Adaptec 2940 SCSI card, ATI Mach64 PCI video card, Seagate hard drive and SCSI CD-ROM, 32 MB RAM. The network is a mixed PC, Sun and NFS server network. There are multiple subnets; the project PCs, one Sun and the FreeBSD machine are all on the same subnet. We are really stumped.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm putting together a web server for an interesting project, where most of the documents will be dynamically generated from a database. The storage requirements aren't much, but I'm insisting on SCSI anyway. I'm not sure whether I'm going with a 2GB, or dual 1GB drives. Does anyone make drives with solid performance in the 1GB range anymore? If I go with 1 2G, It'll probably be IBM UltraStar ES or XP. The next question is, what SCSI controller? Since the machine is on a T1 and most of the documents will have graphics (not DB generated, only the url will be pulled from a DB) a faster bus might reduce the latency, but won't do much for actual throughput. I'm currently deciding between the following: NEC810 based NEC825 based NEC875 based AHA2940 AHA2940U AHA2940UW The server will be running 2.1.6 at least for the next several months, so you know what drivers will be used. I'm favoring the AHA2940 family, mostly because we already have two FreeBSD machines running them(Identified as rev 0, not sure what that makes them), and I'd like to keep them all the same. I've heard that unless bus saturation is important, the U and UW are actually slower than the base model, something to due with how many outstanding commands can be queued, if I remember correctly. I'm currently favoring the AHA2940 for this reason. Also, the cpu this will be on is a P6/150 w/64M Ram. Why? Not because it needs it, but because at $520 for cpu and motherboard, it's cheaper than a P5/166 and motherboard). Anyway, does anyone with more SCSI experience care to comment on the direction I'm going?

Now the problem probably has something to do with the fact that I am running the XInside accelerated X server and the CDE V 1.0.10. My install was a basic installation off the 2.1.6 CDROM (no X stuff). I then did a full install of the CDE and then the accelerated X server. After that I loaded some of the packages. Most of the other stuff works (like xvile, xcoral and all the CDE applications) but I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" when the programs are run. xfig will actually display the window and go through the startup procedure before it dies. I thought it might be because I was only using the X runtimes off of the CDE CDROM. I did a /stand/sysinstall and manually installed XFree off of the 2.1.6-RELEASE CDROM. Now there may be a flaw with this plan and actually there was, the CDE broke and wouldn't work correctly after I did that. To get my machine working I installed the CDE again. Oh I also installed all the required packages listed on the FreeBSD web site but that didn't seem to make a difference. Again I am probably missing something very simple. Any ideas and help would be appreciated! Thanks...

Is "free" within your budget? :) If you would like to use FreeBSD (and it's a fine choice) check out http://www.freebsd.org/. For details on installing see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html. You can download FreeBSD for free from ftp.cdrom.com or any of its mirrors, or (I recommend this) you can buy the CDs plus a book called _The Complete FreeBSD_ from Walnut Creek for about $50. You can order it on the web or call them up. I don't have the number handy but 1-800-555-1212 should turn it up easily enough. Good luck, and have fun.

Let me try to explain the *BSD attitude as I understand it, from the CM point of view. Please note that I have absolutely no affiliation with the FreeBSD project, except of being a happy user. FreeBSD refers to the complete operating system. It is not just the kernel which is named FreeBSD. FreeBSD is the kernel plus all the (standard) utilities that come on the distribution. This has several advantages from the maintenance and Configuration Management standpoint. 1) When you say "I have a problem with foo on FreeBSD X.Y.Z-WHATEVER" everyone else knows exactly what version of foo you were using and they can actually help you, because they are also using the very same version of foo. 2) Releases being complete, it is possible to test the interplay and interdependencies of all components: if the new foo requires a new bar both will have been provided. As to your dislike of "mirrors" as you said it, you are free to replace any component of the system at your will. You are then even free to sell it without releasing sources of non-(L)GPL components if you will. You might even state that your system is based on FreeBSD (you would probably have to say that, I'm not certain how the copyright goes), you will have to say that it's being based on 4.4BSD-Lite, but you would be very strongly encouraged not to call this thing of yours FreeBSD X.Y.Z-WHATEVER because it would not be that. You might, however, be able to call it FreeBSD X.Y.Z-WHATEVER-matra's-own-dist, though (unless FreeBSD Inc. owns the trademark to the name--check with Mr. Jordan K. Hubbard). And, of course, we would still help you if you had problems, but you would have to say in which way matra's own dist differs from the standard one--otherwise we couldn't guess what version of foo you are using and whether bar needs to be present at all.

My point of confusion and idiocy is: how do I set CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH? I can find no mention of these on my system or in the distribution files.

The archive is still at both of these places, what you need are the files in the disk directory. ftp.orst.edu has a limit on the number of connection and when there is maintenence, they disable logins altogether. The Gravis WWW site is operated by Gravis while ftp.orst.edu is the master Internet site formed by GUS Users on the GUS Mailing Lists which I am still running. The reason the lists was forced to find a new home was because I had the resources and Kean Stump at ORST no longer has the same job in the department so he only has control for the ftp site as non-ORST stuff can't be run anymore when he had a new boss back in June 1995. ftp.orst.edu just took over the original master GUS Archives at ftp.epas.utoronto.ca when it shut down August 1995 and just used the mirror site as the master site. > So my question is does anyone know where this archive might have moved > to?

The diagnostic steps I would take: 1. telnet from the freebsd host to localhost. e.g. telnet 127.0.0.1 or telnet localhost this should work. If not, it sounds like (for some reason) your networking isn't quite configured right (perhaps inetd is having trouble?) 2. If this works, then perhaps you have mistaken the ip address your box is set to? Try: ifconfig -a and see what IPs the interfaces are configured to. Then, try telnet your.ip.address.here (in numeric form) from your freebsd box back to itself. If this is slow or doesn't work, then I would consider the possibility of bad reverse IP on the DNS... 3. if this works, try telnetting to the IP address from another host on the same net. If this works, but the name doesn't, then it's most likely DNS. >Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Reply-to: ajohn@cyberforge.com Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.52) Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I am currently running FreeBSD v 2.1.5. I finally took the plunge and thought I would check out the CVSup facility that was available. I followed the instructions at the FreeBSD web site and installed the statically linked FreeBSD executables for cvsup. That seems to have gone well. I am currently trying out cvsup by using the following supfile: *default tag=RELENG_2_1_6_1_RELEASE *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all src-eBones src-secure I used the command 'cvsup supfile /var/tmp/dest' for a trial run. I am currently watching the files come down and have a couple of questions: A LOT of sources seem to be coming down which I will not necessarily use (especially the sources for games). What I am primarily intersted in is upgrading from 2.1.5 to the latest 2.1.6.x and would like to have the kernel sources so that I can compile in support for my ATAPI CD-ROM. I would also like the latest version of apache, perl,tcsh, g++, gdb and SAMBA for 2.1.6 installed (All of these are currently installed and running on my machine). In addition I am running ppp with IP Masquerade which I would like to keep around. My question is, what do I specify in the supfile such that everything is not downloaded? How do I get the sources for just the items that I would like? Also, once the sources are downloaded, just exactly what DO I do to upgrade? Where is the make file that you use to upgrade? (I definitely want to compile in the support for the ATAPI cd-rom into there). One thing I noticed is that the directory structure that came down via cvsup seems to be different than what I have on my machine. For example the cvsup had /src/gnu/.... while I have /src/sys/gnu/... Did the structure change between 2.1.5 and 2.1.6? If so, how does this affect the uprade? Also will my /etc directory be trashed when I upgrade? Any info would be appreciated...

I am doing an install from a dos partition, and I copied everything correctly into c:\freebsd\bin. When I get to the point in the install where it is to do the extraction of the distributions, the install says it can't find the bin distribution. I put the install system into debug mode to watch the festivities, and it seemed to be snagging the bin.inf and choking on it. It was bombing out with an error about a "P" and it couldn't find "pieces". I played with it for a bit, and if you edit bin.inf and change the "Pieces = 72" to "pieces = 72" it works correctly. Minor typo, but it prevented me from installing. Just thought you should know. I am working with the dist from ftp.freebsd.org.

Any other ideas? :) Go ahead and boot into your linux system, and use dd: % dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/fd0 if that turns up an error, it's likely to be quite a bit more specific than that gibberish that win95 gave you.

I want to know how do I load FreeBSD to my present hard disk with Win95 already installed? Must I format the whole HDD and create two partitions for FreeBSD and Win95? Or, is it possible to load a OS Manager to manage the two OS's??

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! One of my news machines I am running (P133, 64M RAM, NCR, 2*4 GB Barracuda, FBSD 2.1.6.1) has a single Barrauda as a newsspool. I set it up using "newfs -b 4096 -f 512 -i 2048" in one 4GB partition, to minimize losses due to fragmentation. It worked nicely for some time. I received about 100-120k artikles per day, and everything was fine. Expire took about 5-8h, no prob there. Recently (and without provocation), expire takes 36-48h, the drive is slooooooow (bonnie showed throughputs in the 500-800k/s range, machine in singleuser state), and I have about 1 GB newsbatches in the backlog. The other disk shows nice 4-6M/s... The only difference I'm aware of is the rising volume of the feed, it's around 160-180k artikels a day now, and I had to lower my holding times. Is it possible that the small block size is the culprit? I'm just copying the newsspool to a new barracuda (runs for 8h now, about half done...) with 8k blocksize. I did a search for bad blocks on the news disk, but didn't find any. Any ideas?
