I have an old Pentium-I 120 MHz PC, 1.5 Gb HD, which is running Mandrake Linux 7.2 just fine. I wanted to replace the OS by FreeBSD, as my first FreeBSD experience. Installation itself via ftp goes smooth. In fdisk I dedicated the whole HD to FreeBSD, without being compatible with other OS. Then an Auto-partitioning of the single FreeBSD slice. Installed everything, went smoothly through the post-install settings and exited the Installation procedure. When the PC reboots, it just stops after the BIOS. Nothing happens, no complains, nothing. Just stops. I tried reinstalling with other fdisk options, such as partitioning with a bootloader. To no avail. Any idea what could be the problem here? Thanks, Rob.

The only problem at this point is the length of time it takes the US postal service to deliver bulk rate mail. International subscribers got thier magazines delivered first class, because they don't offer bulk rate, but it seems to take about the same amount of time. The January/February issue had real problems. The subscription list was messed up and the mailing house didn't report it to us, they sent the garbled subscriptions anyway. We had no way to tell who did or didn't receive the subscriptions, and finally we decided to mail everyone of our subscribers an extra copy of the January/Febuary issue with March/April issue. We also changed printers because we felt the quality of the January/February issue wasn't up to the standards required. We switched mailing houses at the same time and I am confident that everyone on the list will receive their magazine. I am encouraged that people are anxious to receive the magazines and you won't be disappointed. They are very high quality and only improving. However, I am a bit discouraged by the lack of subscribers. To be perfectly honest, we have 800 subscribers, nearly half of them are International. I can't see us keeping the print magazine alive if more people don't take an interest in it. $24.95 isn't that big a price to pay to have a BSD magazine. Daemon News has a total of four part time employees who handle the shipping and office duties, so we aren't getting rich off this. Everyone else is volunteer. The magazine is expensive to print and we have had to eat a lot of the cost. FreeBSD has a purported userbase of 2.5 million and 800 subscribers is what percentage of that? Add in NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin and BSD/OS. Its time to start advocating. We started DN to be the resource of the BSD community. We have put in three years worth, with little to no pay. Its time for the community to start supporting the magazine. So, get on IRC, e-mail your friends, drop by the user groups and tell everyone to subscribe to the magazine.

I write a regular column for a computer magazine that's local to my hometown and they have been in operation for ten years now and are still mainly being distributed for free.

Believe it or not, when I first saw in the mailing list that you guys were doing a print magazine I went to the website, looking to sign up, and search as I might I couldn't see a scrap of HTML that referred to it. I checked again, once or twice, over the following months and still didn't see anything so I figured "Oh, another bogus rumor" and forgot about it. I was very surprised to get a promo copy of the magazine a couple weeks ago for a magazine I didn't think existed! :-) (I'm even more surprised and a little disappointed that it's issue 3 since I'd like to get a copy of issue 2) Anyway, even today looking at http://www.daemonnews.org there is no menu link to the hardcopy of the magazine at the top menu. There is a sidebar - but you have to click on it to get to the mag, and there's no text in the sidebar saying that it's a magazine. I'd suggest that right next to the "Get BSD" red menu item, you have a "Daemon News Magazine" red menu item.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am looking for the correct/propper way to customize a port (ie. change prefix path, etc.). Right now i have been doing something like this: ==== 1) extracting the "ports/group/prog/" directory from the entire ports tar file into /usr/ 2) downloading the port source to /usr/ports/distfiles/ 3) cd /usr/ports/group/prog/ 4) setenv NO_DEPENDS; make distfile; make patch 5) view Makefile and make note of any special configure arguments. 6) cd work/program-ver/; run ./configure replacing how/where I need the program to be compiled and I have been leaving in any special configure args that were set in the previous Makefile. 7) Then running make or gmake (mostly gmake). 8) cd ../../ (back to /usr/ports/group/prog/); make install * I'm not sure that the last step is correct, will this break anything? What i really am interested in is using the preferred compile arguments and overriding items such as install location and extra modules (Apache and PHP4 mostly).

Wow! What a lot of work you are putting yourself through! Go read the FAQ and the relevant sections. There's a lot of information there. Basically, to change the default prefix, I do "PREFIX=/usr/foo make install". This is just one example. For more involved "customizations", you can build in stages (make fetch, make extract, make configure, etc). I've also changed the port's Makefile to send it my configure arguments.

I think the main difference is that it's updated for (then) a newer version of BIND and probably added some stuff. The Fourth edition will be coming out later (Summer I think) and I would wait to get that one instead. If you're wondering...

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.

Here is what I did... 1) Downloaded the following files: Xinstall.sh, extract, Xdoc.tgz, Xfenc.tgz, Xlib.tgz, mod.tgz, Xxserv.tgz, Xbin.tgz, Xetc.tgz, Xfnts.tgz, Xman.tgz, and Xvar.tgz 2) installed using the below command: #sh ./Xinstall.sh 3) then, I ran xf86configurator. 4) startx After running 'startx', a while later, it comes back to the console with the following errors: ... /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libqt.so" not found How can I fix this problem? Can I just get the file from another FreeBSD box and place it in the right directory? Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
