That similar to a problem I ran into a while back after installing NetBSD for dual booting on a disk that already had FreeBSD installed. I figured out that the NetBSD disklabel command labels all slices on the disk, even those your aren't installing NetBSD into. Fortunately, I saved off my FreeBSD bsdlabel output so restoring my partition layout was easy once I figured out the situation. And I didn't have to restore any data either.

I was into collecting terminal-based games for awhile. Some of them are actually quite fun. BSD tetris for example (though it seems awful slow on an NFS filesystem for some reason) Seems to me, someone created a curses based "DOOM" game at one point as well, but I can't seem to find it. hunt is fun, but it's difficult to find someone to play it with. (I don't have much practice) One problem is terminal I/O, some of them are just not practical over a 9600 baud serial line... Have fun!

I've downloaded about 15 games so far, and got DooM working alongside Quake, and since I've bought both games, I do have the WAD files from all of the originals, so I can play them the same I would on any Windows machines (Wintendo - doing everything in Linux or BSD, except for some of the games that ONLY work on Windows) ;) Thanks everyone who replied. When I first started using BSD in FreeBSD 4.0, there weren't this many available to say the least. I'm just glad FreeBSD people realize that even those old text games still have fans or at least people who find them interesting :) -Allen From owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Sep 10 22:20:22 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3152B1065670 for ; Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:20:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from sektie@gmail.com) Received: from mail-ew0-f208.google.com (mail-ew0-f208.google.com [209.85.219.208]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AF0058FC12 for ; Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:20:21 +0000 (UTC) Received: by ewy4 with SMTP id 4so580011ewy.36 for ; Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:20:20 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:sender:received:in-reply-to :references:date:x-google-sender-auth:message-id:subject:from:to:cc :content-type; bh=diFrB7G9AOT1ctou+hDlUzMY42yPAafBPCRlrW0f8IU=; b=m2uX+t8uQVZ9FvPCzAJzCE6KSnQc4eugo5LHvQtfR8In89DnkiSjm1bcHtsz6MCJeS /DgXsVf02XYgI6f25RJ5PNBNbA7nZBf74VSCl8beYlqpR4rgZf6vh8d9xNq3oxh91piy G9n+YqRZCXUN1yLFCKEM1Kf81NTGNdtEdbk/s= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:sender:in-reply-to:references:date :x-google-sender-auth:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type; b=oqgeq+CdsNzmTcHRKvTcZKsrt6zl2RwotXL3kv127Ago+VDRwayLs/99G7qaT6jVfQ s0/1MP84TKVm5O2IgWs/HW/wF4HDQbkIwRpZjXrRL00LUplxC/arH4JufpI3MRq9eklV Gz36Tr4KKZFiNeVGrE/u1BHtMBwyhGRhdUt5E= MIME-Version: 1.0 Sender: sektie@gmail.com Received: by 10.211.161.39 with SMTP id n39mr2407539ebo.29.1252619742044; Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:55:42 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <4AA83D54.5070307@comcast.net> References: <4AA83D54.5070307@comcast.net> Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:55:42 -0700 X-Google-Sender-Auth: 41e99b60c5bc10e0 Message-ID: From: Randi Harper To: Allen Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Cc: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Text based games for FreeBSD X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:20:22 -0000 On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 4:42 PM, Allen wrote: > Hi, > > I've been looking at the games area of the FreeBSD FTP server, and I'm > wondering if anyone here can tell me which games are text only, kind of like > how Net Hack is, but some graphics would be Ok too. > > More or less I'd like to get some more games that will run on older > hardware.

Looks like I spoke too soon about NetBSD. I tried installing the latest NetBSD Release and it seemed there was no way to stop it affecting the FreeBSD Slice, which then appeared to have been wiped clean. So it looks inadvisable to install NetBSD unless you plan to reinstall FreeBSD completely afterwards. I tried OpenBSD to see if that fared any better. OpenBSD tries to mount other Slices too, warning that all data will be deleted. I managed to avoid this and kept my FreeBSD alive, but I was lucky. If you don't have experience with OpenBSD's unfriendly Fdisk and Disklabel Editor, you risk losing your entire Hard Disk configuration. And you need to ensure you keep your FreeBSD Boot Selector, because OpenBSD doesn't provide one. Then I tried a DragonFly install, which was buggy but harmless. However, while the DragonFly Boot Selector can start FreeBSD, it emerges that the FreeBSD Boot Selector won't necessarily start DragonFly. Note that all these OtherBSDs still allowed me to multiboot Linux Distros in the DOS Extended Partition. This was possible because OpenSuse lets you put GRUB in a Custom Boot Partition, which in my case is the Ext2 Slice reserved for Data. Yours truly: Frank Mitchell
