It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.

For this I had to allocate around 1800 cylinders for windows. Then I installed Free BSD on the second partition. But I cannot boot unix from the boot manager.. It simply refuses to boot no matter how many times I press F2. On the other hand Windows 98 (F1) is working fine ....

The BIOS of the PCs have a limitation: it cannot boot over the 1024 cylinder. This limitation also accures to the boot manager, which use the BIOS functions in the boot process. I don't know any boot manager which can boot over this limit. As I heard, version 5 of FreeBSD will know to boot over this 1024 limit. Until then, you have to install it on a partition which begin under 1024cyl. > I am completelt new to Unix installation ... Currently I have > Windows 98 > on a 20 GB computer.

When it can load >FreeBSD, where Partition Magic has failed, I got very impressed :-) SyMon can be found at http://symon.da.ru/ Very interesting concept. Allows to have several combinations of up to 4 partitions from a maximum of 36 by creating the partition table dynamically: "SyMon is a program that allows you to maintain up to 36 partitions on one hard drive and arrange up to 20 operating systems in these partitions. The main problem is preservation of compatibility with existing software. The first thing is providing only four partitions per operating system. This limitation is removed by organizing internal partition table of SyMon. All operating systems are compatible with MBR partition table so they do not use more than four partitions. According to this you may arrange many systems by choosing any 4 partitions from 36 for each. Thus, the description of operating system consists of four partitions that it should use and the bootable partition that should be used to start this OS." The website is available in Russian, English and French.

My settings under linux were IRQ=3 and IO=0x240 I recompiled the kernel, disabling most of the features I don't need, and have tried different settings in it. However, no matter what settings I try, when i run ifconfig ed0 up, i get a /kernel ed0: device timeout. Using boot -c, I've noticed that only IO port 0x240 will have the kernel recognize the card. I've tried IRQ 3, 5, 9, 10, and 11, yet every time , i get a device timeout. Is there something I'm missing? Another setting I can change? I'm really frustrated by this.

If Windows is eating up that much harddrive space all by itself, give it a good quick slap upside the head! What I would do is get decent partitioning software (like the FreeBSD install :-) ) and make all of these primary partitions. FreeBSD doesn't like DOS extended partitions. Read the help for exact instructions. Windows will automatically make the first DOS partition C: and the second D:, and ignore the others. Under FreeBSD, in the partition labelling screen, create / from the first BSD partition and /usr from the second. Again, read the directions. It won't actually do anything until you choose commit, so feel free to play around with it. It's not FreeBSD specific, but I do have a quick partitioning guide for Linux on my website. The concepts will be the same. It's at www.usermode.org/docs/howtoinstall.html Warning: Do nothing until you read the manual and the specific help pages in the install screen. Pedant Warning: I have answered the vague general concepts involved in the question, but left the exact specifics up to freebsd-questions.

Before you install ssh look with "locate ssh" or=20 "which ssh", if it is already installed. I have not installed any special modules for OpenSSH.

Well, I think installing lynx (textmode web-browser) from port collection you already have helps you to enter http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ and download new stuff. Besides textmode websurfing is funny. You have to setup internet connection separately from lynx however. -- Best regards, Arseny mailto:ampy@crosswinds.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Thu Sep 7 9:55:53 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from femail3.sdc1.sfba.home.com (femail3.sdc1.sfba.home.com [24.0.95.83]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 13DB437B424 for ; Thu, 7 Sep 2000 09:55:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from c996775-a.vncvr1.wa.home.com ([24.16.193.228]) by femail3.sdc1.sfba.home.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.00 201-229-121) with ESMTP id <20000907165514.HBKD2358.femail3.sdc1.sfba.home.com@c996775-a.vncvr1.wa.home.com> for ; Thu, 7 Sep 2000 09:55:14 -0700 Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 16:54:32 +0000 From: Yuri Kay X-Mailer: The Bat!

So now the question arises, what is the possibility of creating a freebsd-newbies-questions list? -questions is great, but it has three major drawbacks: A) people subscribing to -questions to get answers to complicated question on L,U,and A, don't want to see the list plugged with questions on how to mount DOS floppies. B) people wanting to know how to mount DOS floppies don't want to know about the intricacies of L, U and A. C) the message volume in -questions is extremely high. Just a thought...

Probally Zilch... this list was highly contested at it's creation. It only came into creation on the condition that NO -question -questions were to be asked here. There are several reasons for this; first the FreeBSD team only wants ONE point of contact for questions, it keeps traffic down (from repeated messages,) it allows people answering your questions to track other's answers in same forum. It's only one place to search in the search engine, you get a wider pool of talent to draw your answers from. Many people (myself included,) who wish to help do not really have the time to monitor yet another mail list. And most importantly, Newbies are exactly that, they might accidently give the wrong answer to a question, thereby accidently causing somebody a great deal of pain and suffering. (I've seen that several times here.) By asking the question in a group monitored by "experts" and even many members of the Core Team itself, you're going to be more likely to get the correct answer. Also, many, many, many of the questions I've seen asked here, are NOT -newbie questions by any stretch of the imagination! :) > A) people subscribing to -questions to get answers to complicated > on how to mount DOS floppies. This is a false assumtion. The vast amount of people in -questions like to see these, it means that FreeBSD is getting a bigger following, and that their efforts are being at least appreciated... Again, most people really do want to help. > B) people wanting to know how to mount DOS floppies don't want to know > about the intricacies of L, U and A. This is (IMHO) another incorrect assumption. I've found that reading other messages has helped me in the future fix other problems. (I.e., I had no idea there were two ways to do Firewalls, until I saw someone mention the other, easier to configure way!) It's also helped me answer other people's questions. > C) the message volume in -questions is extremely high. Again, IMHO... 100-200 questions a day is not extremely high...I get between 600-1000 messages a day... Granted I scan subject line for a good portion of them, but I've learned a lot from it.... (I use to get 2000 or more messages a day but found that to be too many for me... :) In my opinion this group -newbies has outlived it's orginal intentions. In fact I believe it never lived UP to it's orginal Intentions. But I believe it's orginal purpose certainly a valid one, and have lately been trying to enforce it's orginal purpose. Othewise this group will be removed by the moderators.

You may download ports to your win2k boxes and then upload files through ftp - just enter something like c:\winnt\system32\ftp.exe, then connect to your bsd box and upload them. -- Best regards, Arseny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Sat Sep 9 20:27:35 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from heorot.1nova.com (sub24-23.member.dsl-only.net [63.105.24.23]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4AA2037B422 for ; Sat, 9 Sep 2000 20:27:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: by heorot.1nova.com (Postfix, from userid 1000) id A83AF3282; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 19:51:15 +0000 (GMT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by heorot.1nova.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9542B3281; Fri, 8 Sep 2000 19:51:15 +0000 (GMT) Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2000 19:51:15 +0000 (GMT) From: Rick Hamell To: Mark Simos Cc: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Re: please help me In-Reply-To: <39BAFFDD.61C3440D@POBox.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > If not for asking questions... > then what, pray tell, is the point of _this_ list? It's a place for newbies to find WHERE to get help. It's for telling people about all the trouble you went through to get xxx working for the first time. It's for discussing things related to being/for/about newbies in the FreeBSD world. It is NOT a technical support forum. Newbie questions are not only engouraged in -questions, they are welcomed there. > I may be on the wrong one.... I am looking for info on BSD.

If you want links to places to get help, I'd check www.freebsddiary.org, the Handbook, www.defcon1.org (if I remeber right,) and www.mostgraveconcern.com for help on your topics of interest.
