A couple of years ago I did just that, converted an ISP from BSDI to FreeBSD, and it was relatively simple. Check the master.password formats, you might find they are the same. If you can't find something in or around /etc look a bit more and you'll find it (e.g. are certain config files just sitting in /etc or in a subdirectory?). You'll find FreeBSD's application startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, some application config files in /usr/local/etc, and the main config file that sets variables for use on booting is called /etc/rc.conf but check (read-only) /etc/defaults/rc.conf too. BSDI used to call its main log file /var/log/daemon (IIRC) and our equivalent is called /var/log/messages. Skim through the FreeBSD Handbook looking for differences, and I think you'll be pleased to see mostly similarities and comfortable options.

Posting to freebsd-newbies was a good start, but if you want an answer or advice (rather than chat or where-to-ask questions) then always write to freebsd-questions, which is where I've redirected this email.

A hurried answer: I use xwd (X window dump) which I _think_ comes with X but maybe it was something I installed?? Try 'which xwd' to see if you have it. It describes itself as Xwd is an X Window System window dumping utility. Xwd allows X users to store window images in a specially for- matted dump file. This file can then be read by various other X utilities for redisplay, printing, editing, for- matting, archiving, image processing, etc. The target window is selected by clicking the pointer in the desired window. The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning of the dump and twice when the dump is completed. and X window UNdump... Xwud is an X Window System image undumping utility. Xwud allows X users to display in a window an image saved in a specially formatted dump file, such as produced by xwd(1). Check their man pages for simple instructions. Normally I get the file produced by xwd and pull it into something like xpaint to convert to gif format, which is much smaller. There are other tools you can install from the ports (I think that xv is a popular candidate) but I've never needed anything bulkier than xwd. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Fri May 31 15: 6:20 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from odin.acuson.com (odin.acuson.com [157.226.230.71]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C822137B403 for ; Fri, 31 May 2002 15:06:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mvaexch02.acuson.com ([157.226.230.209]) by odin.acuson.com (Netscape Messaging Server 3.54) with ESMTP id AAA74B4; Fri, 31 May 2002 15:06:12 -0700 Received: by mvaexch02.acuson.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) id ; Fri, 31 May 2002 15:01:24 -0700 Received: from balderdash.acuson.com (dhcp-46-109.acuson.com [157.226.46.109]) by mvaexch01.acuson.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id JXB87QC6; Fri, 31 May 2002 15:01:55 -0700 From: Johnson David To: Mario Schmidt , freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Organization: Acuson Subject: Re: Screenshot Date: Fri, 31 May 2002 15:06:09 -0700 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.4] References: <1022880554.7654.5.camel@client1.freebsd.linux-site.net> In-Reply-To: <1022880554.7654.5.camel@client1.freebsd.linux-site.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: <200205311506.09238.djohnson@acuson.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Friday 31 May 2002 02:29 pm, Mario Schmidt wrote: > Simple question: > > How can i take a screenshot in X ? is there a tool available or do i > just find the key? There isn't a separate hot key to do this, but there are a million programs that will. Some come with X. I tend to use Gimp, but both Gnome and KDE have their own tools for doing this.

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.
