Doug's guide is excellent, but the person who wrote the floppy installation routine is another matter. That clown should have been subject to God's error handling and never been born. Why do I say this? Installing from floppy is no small matter. You are looking at re-formatting 25 DOS disks, then preparing them for use (which also involves copying six files at a time to each of 23 disks), then using the first two to boot to the FreeBSD sysinstall and the remaining 23 to copy six files at a time onto your new system. I found that it took roughly 10 minutes per disk to do that final copying. Overall time you should allow - five hours! I got almost to the end of this process but disk 21 of the 23 had some fault and sysinstall could not read one of the files on that disk. "Would I like to try again" said the error message. Of course I would - so the $##@*&% idiot system started again - from disk 1. "Thanks", I said (among other things). Obviously noone would want to go through the four-hour process of inserting 23 disks at 10-minute intervals, knowing that the slightest error at any point would result in a compulsory re-start. Even a newbie knows that the error handling routine should (a) preferably produce a more specific message (eg "cannot read file bin.eu" would be helpful) and (b) allow recovery from the point of the error (eg "please correct this disk and reinsert when ready"). So, like I said, if you want to install from floppy disks - DON'T. Of course, if you can get hold of the source and can insert a SENSIBLE error-handling routine, that would be NICE! I am going to have a go at installing using PLIP. Will let you know how that goes. -- Regards, Brian ******************************************************** Dr Brian Astill Visiting Research Fellow Flinders University Institute of International Education Bus 8201 3480 FAX 8449 9199 bastill@sa.apana.org.au ******************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Sun Feb 25 19:21: 5 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from goblin.apana.org.au (goblin.apana.org.au [203.3.126.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2976A37B491 for ; Sun, 25 Feb 2001 19:20:59 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by goblin.apana.org.au (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA03993; Mon, 26 Feb 2001 13:20:55 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Received: from roadrunner.apana.org.au(203.3.126.132), claiming to be "roadrunner" via SMTP by goblin.apana.org.au, id smtpdmR3990; Mon Feb 26 13:20:49 2001 Message-ID: <02b201c09fa3$3b39c020$847e03cb@apana.org.au> From: "Doug Young" To: , "newbies" References: <0102261151010E.00803@PhD_1.testname.com.au> Subject: Re: install from floppy Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 13:21:21 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Well yes installing from floppies IS troublesome at times, but I had to do it with a bunch of prehistoric 386 Wangs that wouldn't look at a CD-ROM.

Use that term as in "all technical questions to freebsd-questions" and all newbies will understand perfectly. But we can't, because the non-newbies speak a different language. I wish we could. > "technical questions" sounds good...those should be sent to > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org. i'll add that in the info file. NOOOO! Jonathan, you and your clever type just don't understand what "technical" conveys to newbies :-) You're way up there and your perspective on technicality is nothing like ours. You lot have your own stickler-precise meaning, and if you use it like that here you will _communicate_ something entirely different. The opposite, in fact. What you mean, I think, is that highly complex (to us) technical developer-kernel-guru type stuff goes to freebsd-hackers. You say "technical" and we read "like rebooting computers, setting VCRs, microwave ovens, stuff like that". To most newbies, and to me, any question like "how do I change my computer's name" or "can I use a winmodem?" is highly technical! If you don't believe me, go to your local grocery store, ask the person serving if they regard that as a "technical question" or not. I dare ya :-) No use telling me my use of the term is wrong, Jonathan (and Greg too, I can feel your linguistic perfection rising, put it down :-)), the only thing that really matters is what you communicate. Unfortunately you can't get inside our brains and change them before you speak. People come from non-technical backgrounds, end up in -newbies feeling it's all very technical, and we haven't got time to reteach English. Some of us spend all day advising callers to use the _left_ mouse button and make sure the monitor is turned on, and it's called "technical support". I'd agree, that's not very technical, but that doesn't help us to correct the language of newcomers before they blunder. One of the other contributing factors to misunderstanding -newbies has been the instruction that technical questions (you meaning deep magic stuff) should not be sent to -questions (which is much more technical than my microwave, therefore a technical list, not a social one). To quote: 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. Huh??? The first sentence would have been enough. The second merely confuses. Maybe even "This is the mailing list for how-to questions about FreeBSD." would keep everyone happy. Newbies who do do absolutely the right thing will read the second sentence, and say um, OK, I'd better send my technical questions to -newbies because they're not allowed on -questions. To some of us that's what it says, even though it is "wrong". Can you understand how misleading that -questions statement is to newbies? If you can't, then you must understand why we need a space where newbies can at least understand each other :-) I've argued blue in the face over this word for three years, and it seems that nobody is sufficiently interested in getting the right message across to newbies, to back down and change the ambiguous wording of the -questions charter. They just can't see that other perspectives exist, we're all too far apart here. Indeed, if the "technical" ambiguity had not existed, we might not have had such a pressing need for -newbies. If we cannot communicate with visitors and new arrivals in terms they can correctly interpret, then it looks like we don't want to communicate with them at all. I don't think that's the case. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Mon Feb 26 9:39:49 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from mail04.edsamail.com.ph (mail04.edsamail.com.ph [210.16.71.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 1E72E37B491 for ; Mon, 26 Feb 2001 09:39:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from belfred@edsamail.com.ph) Received: (qmail 15379 invoked from network); 26 Feb 2001 17:44:05 -0000 Received: from mail03.edsamail.com.ph (HELO edsamail.com.ph) (210.16.71.8) by mail04.edsamail.com.ph with SMTP; 26 Feb 2001 17:44:05 -0000 X-Mailer: Edsamail 1.31 (Build 1024) Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 01:46:44 +0800 From: "Belfred I Antonio" To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: xdm Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <20010226173946.1E72E37B491@hub.freebsd.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm running FreeBSD 4.2. any one who can help me to configure. everytime i start mi machine i end up having a text only log on screen after the kernel has loaded.

If you used the xf86config command to setup X, then this is what you get by default. The XF86Setup command doesn't give you this. Take a look at the X11 section in the FreeBSD Handbook for ways to fix this. It involves editing the XF86Config file.

Is this a technical question :-) The most likely SIMPLE explanation is that your monitor needs adjusting. Just move the horizontal and vertical sizes to taste. My guess is that you have a good display with A.N.Other's OS. The display position on the screen and it's size WILL change from OS to OS, and NO!

I have had it happen but thankfully not very often ....95% of the time when I get a deceased floppy I just whack in another one with the same files & voila !!!.

The regular CD install is definitely the easiest if you have a good CD (some of the Tesla ones are trouble), & FTP from someplace else works fine as long as you have a reasonable permanent connection.

I am preparing to switch my personal web/email server over to FreeBSD (from W2K/Exchg) this weekend and had some quick (maybe political) questions that might help me to accomplish this exciting task. I have topically read a couple books and spent some time with the handbook and other online resources for the last several weeks in preparation for the build. I have also pre-built an extra pc as practice. My questions boil down to recommendations regarding what I should initially load to get the server up and running without overloading it with lots of extras (as my brief work with Mandrake demonstrated). The server is connected to the Internet via a DSL static ip connection and I initially want to provide the following services (no X): Web, Secure Telnet, Email, Secure FTP, and network software (NAT, firewall, proxy) I believe I will run qmail as my mail server, and Apache as the web server. Is there a list of software/binaries that you would recommend that provides a good balance between loading everything and a minimalist approach? Also, do you recommend the Novice installation from the sysinstall program? And lastly, what servers do you recommend for each service? I tried postfix in an earlier life (Linux), but kind of prefer qmail based only on what others have said (no personal experience). I sincerely appreciate your assistance and experience and look forward to the world of FreeBSD full-time, Thank you, Henry henryammons@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Here are my recommendations for servers: Apache - Web server, best choice on FreeBSD OpenSSH - Secure telent-like server, included in base install OpenSSH - secure ftpd, providesa secure ftp server, also in base system IFilter - firewall with IPNAT for NATting connections.

First, I've no experience with ISDN ... ;-) But you may take a look at the man pages: man -k isdn There's a driver for PCI Fritz cards which has to be compiled into the kernel. man 4 ifpi will give you some information.

I found it so important that I printed out the pdf version of the handbook, or at least the first 450 or so pages of it. I had access to a duplexing printer though. >I have seen The Complete FreeBSD and The FreeBSD Handbook, as well as The FreeBSD Corporate >Networker's Guide.

I own The Complete FreeBSD, it's pretty good still, but it does reference mainly 3.x branch. For most configuration things, the handbook fills in the gaps where changes have been made, at least that's my experience so far. My only problem has been finding explanations of how to do very specific things that fit my situation, but must not be especially common among others. I imagine that if I asked a few specific questions on the -questions list I could make it work, but I seem to get time to work on this stuff infrequently at home and do not wish to waste other's time until I've really tried the things that seem to make sense. Really the handbook together with The Complete FreeBSD have been very good for getting installed, configured and on the road to discovery. It will only take a little reading to find the important changes for configuring 4.x branch and the changes I've seen so far, the tun device comes to mind, actually make it easier and or better.

There is an area "for people new to FreeBSD and Unix", which cleared up a few mysteries. Roaming around the FreeBSD.org pages for a few weeks will, too. I have no Unix background whatsoever and frankly, it's a bit like buying a book and sitting down to learn French, not ever having heard any of it spoken, but, hey, if it was easy... C'est la vie!

However, I had been running FreeBSD for 3 months prior to subscribing, and I was still floundering. The best response I got from my inquery about good books was that books tend to become outdated and require constant updating of one's library. Which is fine, because, I know I love to sit down and read a book (even if it is a Unix manual, my friends think I'm strange.) However, the best sources for information are usually online. If you have a question or problem, go to your favorite online search engine and type in, " tutorial" and it will usually come up with something useful. Another good source is the wide variety of websites devoted to FreeBSD, *BSD in general and *nix in general. A favorite being www.freebsddiary.org. And there is always FreeBSD-Questions mailing list. I have bought two Unix books. My first one was the Unix Bible (which was very detailed in Unix theory but not very practical for learning how to do stuff) and (I don't remember the exact name) The Unix Desktop Guide, which is a book packed full of glossary terms, scripting help and general usage of prompt. Neither of these are nessesarily for FreeBSD. The Unix Bible deals with FreeBSD and HP as their two primary examples (the book comes packaged with Slackware Linux, go figure.) I've recently done some research on my next purchase as far as Unix books go. I went to Amazon.com and was looking for a book on socket programming in C in Unix. I don't recall the exact name of the book, but it was rated well at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. In the FreeBSD community, almost everybody is willing to help. In fact, I saw a guy walking down the street with a FreeBSD t-shirt on (I haven't ordered mine yet, unfortunately) and I started talking to him. It's a brotherhood, I tells ya.

All I get is a fine checkerboard-like pattern after I configure with XF86Setup, and I can't get out of it. I'm really really new at this, so... I have a card based on the same chip. I know that it is supported in XFree86 4.0.2. I am not sure if earlier versions support it. - v -- Victor R.

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.
