So you already have FreeBSD set up on the installation machine, but you have trouble making "world"? I usualy just update & build world on my fastest machine, then install world having mounted /usr/src via NFS. Here are some good articles (with examples) on this topic: http://www.freebsddiary.org/makeworld-2boxes.php http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/02/14/Big_Scary_Daemons.html?page=2 Aside from that, let us know where exactly make world is giving you trouble. Does the compile hang at certain place?

If you're wanting to use IPFW2, don't forget to have "options IPFW2" in the kernel config and "IPFW2=true" in your /etc/make.conf Good luck! > Many thanks for your response and your PPP script - much obliged :) You are very welcome, I only re-posted an existing message, don't forget to thank the original author ;) > Kind regards, ;) -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Welat xwe ava nake, dest bidin hevdu, pist nedin tu dijminî | | Riya azadiyê ne hêsan e, hêviya xwe bernedin, dema me | | nêzîk e. | | | | Hevaltî bi kesên du rû nekin, hevaltî bi hevdu ra bikin | | Ne ji hevaltiya wan kesên pêxwas û rû dirêj, ne bi wan | | kesên xwînperest, ne jî ji yên din. | | | | -Sêrêciya Kurdistanî | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ translation provided on request: sereciya@kurdistan.ath.cx
