Sorry. As far as I know (and the FreeBSD handbook tells me the same) FreeBSD kann only be installed on a primary partition. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html Johann Johann.Kois@koisnet.de > > I am a newBie of linux .

I've been using screen(1) for a while, on my FreeBSD console, since it makes it easier to access remote systems that don't know anything about FreeBSD's `cons*' terminals. After fooling around with various TERM values and corresponding `term xxx' statements in my ~/.screenrc file, I settled down for vt220. This seems to be widely known, and having my screen windows start with a TERM=vt220 makes most programs work like a charm (hell, even GNU Emacs recognizes Home, End, PageDown, PageUp and a lot of other 'funny' keys). There was one thing that bugged me though. The terminal windows displayed both "bold" and "underlined" characters like bold. This makes it impossible to read manpages, and be able to recognize "flags" from "arguments". The "underline" capability of the terminal was set to \E[4m which displayed exactly like \E[1m. Today I played with my .screenrc and added (at first) the following: termcap cons* us=\E[36m:ue=\E[m If you're using screen(1) you will have to detach and reattach, since the screen(1) manual page says that "termcap" statements will take effect the next time screen(1) attaches to a detached screen or the next time it starts. This made it all beautiful again, since now "underline" (or "italic") in my manpages displayed in a nice cyan colour[1]. This is far too long to commit as a fortune cookie to the freebsd-tips file, but I thought that someone might like to know... So here it is, in the list archives and your mailboxes for all those who might find it interesting, useful or amusing :) Cheers, [1] This is what I was used to, ever since I started using Slackware Linux about a decade ago. If you're feeling a bit pedantic and don't want to see colours in a terminal whose TERM=vt220, you cann change the termcap statement in your .screenrc to: termcap cons* us=\E[7m:ue=\E[m to force underline/italic to show up as 'reverse video'.

Linux Journal is excellent, Linux Magazine is good for newbies, the rest are trash. One big reason why Linux has more mags than *BSD: Linux has all the hype. One big reason why it's not that big of a deal: 90% of Linux magazines are NOT about Linux. Instead they are about Open Source software. Articles on Apache, PHP, etc, are appropriate if you're running a *BSD. Besides which, do we really need two issues a year entitled "Distribution Roundup?"

I just happen to have a Slackware CD sitting around. Let me try and see what happens... balderdash# dd if=color.gz of=/dev/fd0 dd: /dev/fd0: Invalid argument 2777+1 records in 2777+0 records out 1421824 bytes transferred in 54.382309 secs (26145 bytes/sec) I do get the Invalid argument message, but I get no warnings when using the text.gz root image. I've tried various options, such as the ofs=18k suggested in the Slackware docs, but to no avail. balderdash# dd if=text.gz of=/dev/fd0 2747+0 records in 2747+0 records out 1406464 bytes transferred in 55.446268 secs (25366 bytes/sec) If all else fails, you can always use the text.gz root image. I would also ask on -questions.

Also, when I try to set the communications mode I get lptcontrol -p /dev/lpt0 lptcontrol: open: Device busy The handbook also says to place "lptcontrol -p -u N" in /etc/rc.local but there' s two problems: the "-u" option is not supported and the file /etc/rc.local doesn't exsist. I know there's a place to store user rc type code so that I could run lptcontrol on startup, but I forgot where that was. Any hints?

There shouldn't be. After all, the packages are built using the ports system. The only real differences would be: - packages tend to be build for the lowest common denominator wrt CPU architecture and options. IOW, they're built to run on 386's with the default option. - ports are optimised for your specific system and allow you to fiddle with options and features - packages are pre-built so all you do is install it - ports must be compiled before they can be installed which can take a long time on slow machines (almost 2 days to buildworld on my 486, ports tend to take a few hours) > I've noticed a couple of times that building a program > from the ports has crashed my machine, whereas pkg_add > seems to go smoothly. Crash how? What kind of errors? Which ports? Were the ports broken or in the midst of being changed? Not much info here. Packages *should* work on virtually every machine out there running the appropriate version of FreeBSD. That's the nice thing about them. The ports should also work on virtually avery machine out there, but it depends on the version of libraries, compilers, and other build tools that you have. > I've read the paragraph in the handbook and it really > doesn't satisfy my curiosity, what do you guys think? It's a trade-off between customisability and optimisation versus ease/speed of installation. There's no other difference between a port and a package.

There is no "quality difference". I prefer ports for two reasons, however. First, I can build the ports optimized for my machine, as opposed to packages which are built for generic i386 machines. Second, I can customize the port to include extra options. > I've noticed a couple of times that building a program from the ports > has crashed my machine, whereas pkg_add seems to go smoothly. I suspect that this has to do with the build process and not the port itself. If you have a reasonable make.conf, and enough room to build, any crashes while building a port should be submitted as a bug.

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.

Я нашла отличный подарок! Уверена, что тебе понравится. Смотри, в интернете есть магазин Постеров. http://www.newposter.ru/?ref=mart Там продаются разные красивые и прикольные картинки, причем все они уже в рамках и под стеклом. Смотрится очень красиво и солидно. Да и цены не высокие. Я себе уже купила два постера. Один за 450 рублей, второй за 700 рублей. Просто красота. Так что теперь вопрос с подарками решен. Да и домой советую прикупить. Ну все, УДАЧИ!
