I'm missing some punctuation here. Do you mean to say that you added some additional X11 base packages afterwards? If so then that's your problem. You will need to reconfigure your X, just like you did the first time. Afterwards I would recommend saving your /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Otherwise, since it's looking for the config file in /etc instead of /etc/X11, start examing /etc/X11.

Nothing else happens. You should have the twm window manager installed by default with X. Create a /root/.xinitrc file for root, and put just the following line in it: exec twm That way you can at least test and debug your X setup using a real window manager. twm isn't pretty but it is functional. > I would like to get X functioning, set up > anti-aliased > fonts, and set up Gnome. I don't think the current Gnome has anti-aliased font capabilities. The next version (in beta now) will, but until then you either have to seriously patch some stuff, stick with Qt/KDE programs, or just be patient.

This question really should have been asked on -questions. But I'll give you a hint: The S3 server is included with all the other X servers. You probably overlooked it during installation. Read the Handbook over regarding installation, then run the sysinstall program to do the post-installation configuration necessary to install the S3 server.

I am getting ready to start a small company. I do not have the money for the licenses needed for Microsoft Products. I have several computers that I will be able to upgrade and use as is without the need to purchase new ones. The machines are all PPros with 128 megs of ram and 4 gig hard drives. I have just purchased a Box Set of 4.4 along with the Toolkit and Greg Langhey's Book. I have also purchased Mrs. Anderson's Book as well. Will these two books be everything I need to setup my LAN for everybody to be able to get mail and surf the net from time to time? I have enough extra machines, I think, to setup various servers if needed. If I need to setup multiple servers, which ones will they be and why will I need them? The ones I think I will need are a firewall and a mail server. I will be doing all of the setting up and testing myself at home before I take the system live at the office. The main reason for me using FreeBSD in this application is that I have read that it is Bomb Proof. It may take some doing to learn BSD, but it is worth the time. Again, thanks for your time and if I posted in the wrong list, my apologies.

I am getting ready to start a small company. If YOU are the one starting this company, then perhaps you need to think about hiring an admin. Since you used the word "company" instead of "business", I can only assume that it will be big enough to hire specialized employees, so make the system's administrator one of them. If it will be a small business instead (less than ten employees), then I would recommend hiring a temporary contractor to set up the network. Regardless, as a business owner, you have much more important things to worry about than your network. You need to worry about making money. Unless your business is centered around this network, let other people handle it. You'll make more money beating the bushes for business than you will spend hiring someone to get your network set up. Of course, you DO want to know a lot about your network. You can't just offload that responsibility. But try to keep a healthy perspective. > Will these two books be everything I need to setup my LAN > for everybody to be able to get mail and surf the net from time to time? Yes...but. Yes these books along with the Handbook on the CD will be enough to set up a network. But, systems administration is not a cookbook affair. It is a continual process of education. There will be specialized topics you will eventually need to know that just aren't covered in enough detail in general texts. This information can be found in a variety of sources, many of them free. > If I need to setup multiple servers, which ones will they be and why will I > need them? The ones I think I will need are a firewall and a mail server. Frankly, without seeing your business plan, I don't have a clue as to your needs. For many businesses a single server is more than adequate. In fact, you might not even NEED any servers. > The main reason for me using FreeBSD > in this application is that I have read that it is Bomb Proof. Nothing in this world is bomb proof. FreeBSD is vastly more secure and stable than Windows, but it isn't perfect. You can't just set up a FreeBSD network (or any network for that matter) and then ignore it. If you're concerned about security, then you (or your admin) will need to keep up with the security advisories.

I've put the software suggested to do each in brackets. Note that these are just recommendations, and you should feel free to explore other options. O DNS Cache (BIND, built-in) O HTTP Proxy/Cache (Squid) O NFS (built-in), or similar for remote mounting home directories so that your users can move between different PC's and have their files follow them automagically. O Intrusion detection system (Snort). Possible on it's own ultra-secure host, if you are willing to invest the time and effort. O An X Client (XFree86) - Can be a right pain in the butt to setup sometimes, or you might get lucky. I've had mixed experiences. - Note the the client/server meanings are swapped around for X, meaning the Big machine in the rack is the client, and what's on your desktop is a server. Read up about it on the xfree86 website and the freebsd handbook. O A webserver (apache) with CGI's to use for collaboration (Shared calendars etc) There's a whole world of stuff just waiting to be done. My advice to you, if you get stuck, read the docco, google the web, and try, try again, and if all else fails, ask someone :) Welcome aboard. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use iQA/AwUBPJD1HxY2HTS0XwU2EQKQoQCgoQBErWGfvNK05LhQTrZVEuEZPocAn2rX V77icdM6iaM4Kyx521K7wiso =AjGH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

There is much documentation for it over the internet all you have to do is look, if you found this mailing list why could you of not looked for the proper documentation? Or instead of saying that you were abandoned why can you not ask the mailing list the questions that you need to? You can simply email the mailing list asking them the questions that you need and somebody will gladly respond to you. Just simply go to freebsd.org and click on the Newbies Handbook or the other help sections there. We cant teach you everything there is to know about freebsd, thats not what we do. We help users with certain problems that you have. And its not the job of the makers of freebsd to teach you how you use it either, but they do provide documentation on the link above.

The Truth About Moissanite
 
Fact - Moissanite delivers more fire, brilliance and luster than any other hard jewel on Earth.
This unretouched photograph supports the adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words". Here, a light source over a similar sized moissanite and diamond placed in shallow water clearly shows the superior fire and brilliance of this unique new jewel. And the picture is supported by measurable facts: the GIA publishes the dispersion (fire) of created moissanite at 0.104, refractive index (brilliance) at 2.65 to 2.69, and luster at 20.4%. No other hard jewel measures up, not even a fine diamond. And only moissanite and diamond are over 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Moissanite jewels created by Charles & Colvard are available in all popular shapes and sizes. 

www.moissanitesource.com is the place to buy moissanite jewelry on the internet. Buy with confidence at the best prices in the world. 
 
Moissanite Created By Charles & Colvard
 

Moissanite created by Charles & Colvard is a unique jewel, not a synthetic diamond.

Moissanite Source is an authorized distributor of Moissanite.

I have a machine with an old BIOS and 2 disks in it. First disk is 1.6 GB with linux. On the second disk I want to install FreeBSD and OpenBSD for learning and testing. This disk has about 10 GB and 19650 cylinders. I installed FreeBSD on this disk and tried to boot it by LILO from first disk, but get only "-". So I thought FreeBSD boot partition has to be in the first 1024 cylinders. After reading many documentations I wanted to do: - create boot-slice ad2s1 ( about 180 MB ) which contains only / - create a slice ( may be 4GB )in extended partition for all other swap, /tmp, /var and /usr The problem I have, I cannot tell FreeBSD during the installation process to use the slice in the extended partition. I hope someone could help. lutz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Fri Mar 15 6:49:37 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from janeway.vonbek.dhs.org (bgm-24-24-79-198.stny.rr.com [24.24.79.198]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 97E1537B404 for ; Fri, 15 Mar 2002 06:49:33 -0800 (PST) Received: by janeway.vonbek.dhs.org (Postfix, from userid 500) id 228A2FC70A4; Fri, 15 Mar 2002 09:50:39 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2002 09:50:38 -0500 From: "Johnny B ."

You should ask technical questions of questions@freebsd.org however: You will need a primary partition on which to install FreeBSD and I think the same applies for OpenBSD. Also, you may be confused by slice/partition nomenclature. What DOS calls a partition, Unix calls a slice. If you can split the HD into two primary DOS partitions FreeBSD will see them as ad2s1 and ad2s2 (slice 1 and 2 respectively) you can then create filesystems within ad2s1 for / swap /usr etc. as required. These will be seen as ad2s1a etc. HTH John.

Support contracts are available from DaemonNews/BSDMall . I'm sure for the right quantity of cash they'll put up with any amount of whining. If you don't want to pay for support, then I would suggest a modicum of politeness. If you want an answer to a question, then I would also suggest ASKING a question. Questions belong to the -questions list. The -newbies list is just for flaming idiots why whine that they're not getting any answers even though there are no records of them ever asking any questions. Mr. Arrogant.

Just get the source from (sorry about the word wrap there) ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-3.1p1.tar.gz It compiles with no trouble, as long as you specify your directory structure in the Configure. I used: ./configure --with-pam --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --prefix=/usr make make install killall -HUP sshd Then it upgrades without conflict. Just in case you're not familiar with tar.gz files. First download the abovementioned file then tar -zxvf openssh*.tar.gz You'll see a bunch of stuff happening. You'll now, in addition to the tar.gz file, have another directory called openssh-3.1 something, or perhaps just 3.1 cd openssh* from there, the stuff given above ./configure --with-pam --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --prefix=/usr make make install killall -HUP sshd HTH Scott " ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wade Dixon" To: Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 5:57 PM Subject: Re: Updating SSH > I'm also having problems.

Greetings all,
Firstly I am new to the list and this is my first post, just wanted to take a moment to say hello from Ft Worth, TX.
 
A few newbie questions:
1) What is the default shell for FreeBSD 4.5?
2) Do the man pages contain a "beginers" type of list for these shell commands?
 
Thanks in advance,
Gregg Smith

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.

I'm wrote this because I was talking to a buddy about FreeBSD and the stuff I've done since Christmas and he laughed and thought the world should know so he helped me write the following. Please feel free to laugh and comment. We're still laughing. My newbie experience with FreeBSD has being one of the most intense and fun times since college when I learned about women. Yes FreeBSD has a lot in common with women and some differences. One the manual is passed down inside of the code itself is very similar to women. Two if you do something wrong you man not always understand the error code. Three you have to keep trying to get it right. Lastly trashing it all and starting again new isn't all ways the best coarse of action. Women know what they want. They know what they want you to do and how they dream of you doing it. They have a blueprint of the relationship and your responses all mapped out ahead of time. For lack of a better term this is like a computer manual of input that equals some output. It is the same with FreeBSD. The manual for FreeBSD is nicely loaded on the computer with the software. This is a great advantage to have a manual handy to read when you need it most. With the Man Pages, the traditional Unix help text, and the FreeBSD handbook there should almost be no question you can't answer. The downfall of both these systems is you have to be able to get to the data. Also you must have it available when you want to use it. Let's look at setting up xwindows. Unless you have Xwindows up and running you can't read the handbook or a man page and type in the commands. I use to have a girl friend that would always say to me "You know what you're doing". The secret was I never knew what the hell I was doing. I felt this way with FreeBSD and went out and got a book of man pages and the handbook. Let's stick with the same girl friend as above. She'd say that and then start the silent treatment or have a little tantrum. (She was so sexy when she was angry, which is one reason I loved her so much.) This is like a computer error code. You get it you don't know what it's for but all you know is you're computer isn't working right. I was compiling a kernel for the first time and received Error Code 1. No line number or anything to tell me where the error was or what it was. I typed Man errorcode 1. My computer didn't reply. Just like Linda when I'd be like what's wrong sweetie. Actually Linda would have something smart to say like" don't sweetie me you asshole. You know what you did". Remember what I said before. I had no clue. But locked away she knew. And thought I was as smart as she was and knew too. Having some experience with Linda helped me here. I started with the Generic kernel and copied it. Changed just the ident and the CPU information. Then I compiled it. Bang it worked. So I took out section by section things I didn't need making a fresh copy each time until it stopped working and figured that's the line I really need in there somewhere. I don' t know what it is but hell I need it so I'm keeping it. My system runs great. After 10 recompiles of the kernel. In college and my mid-twenties it feels like I changed girl friends with the weather. There is a list of women that I've thought was the cat's meow. I'm not the world's greatest lover nor do I look like Fabio or anything. I'm just and normal Joe in a city that lived a good single life. (Hell I'm still living it.) I've learned now that I'm in my 30's that if you want that one really great relationship you're going to have to work on it. You're thinking how is getting dumped or dumping your girlfriends going to relate to computers? I had a bear of a time loading Xwindows for the first time. Xf86config was not my friend. We had a couple of knock down drag 'em outs and hell I'm playing video games on the playstation or dreamcaster. We even had one night when I decided that cable was better then that. After I got it set up then the program refused to run with startx or initx from any other user but root. My solution from my experience with Windows was for me to dump the OS and reload the OS on to the hard drive. Well after the 5 time I decided to read a book. Some how with the same CD and everything it worked great on my laptop but not my desktop. There is a little question about some kind a link in there. If you say no you'll never run xfree86 again. I lost a lot of time with the reformatting and starting over. Computers and women will teach you a lot about patience and perseverance. You have to stick with the really good ones to get what you want out of them. Listen even when you don't want to. Give them time to work out what's in there head to make them happy. I'm greatful to have had the chance to learn so much so fast because with women it takes a long time but with computers it's just a few short months.

If you don't specify an input file, tar defaults to a tape drive ("tar" == "Tape ARchive"). /dev/sa0 is the first SCSI tape drive.

When you go through the config program you must say yes to the symbolic links question. If not then there is no link to the server and it won't run. This is also documented in Greg Lehays book, The Complete FreeBSD.
