I have installed 2.2.6 on multiple machines without incident. However now
I've ran into a little probelm and also would like to get some tips to
make the job a little faster.
1. On Desktops as well as Servers there is a standard set of ports we
use. I've been going through sysinstall and showing the entire list.
From there i would go run down the line checking off stuff. Is there
a way I could specify a pre-set "package" of ports for installation?
I could probably take the standard list of ports find out where they
are and then write a script that would do this:
cd /usr/ports/location/port
make all install
2. How do I keep my own mirror of FreeBSD-*. We have old computers that
we could use to do a netwrok install (like a codebase) instead of a
cd-rom or internet. This machines only purpose in life would be to
mirror the content of ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/freebsd.
3. I have the most recent computer and am having problems with the ps2
mouse. I went out and bought another and still no luck. What I have
noticed is that when it boots up and does a probe it finds the psm0
device but its set at a different range ( like 0x???) than what the
kernel is set to. Should I chnage the kernel to reflect what it has
found.
4. Also unlike everyone else here my sound blaster awe 32 card is not
PNP. I installed the divce in the krenel and /kernel.config file as if
was the awe pnp....the only message i get is no pnp devices
found...which is true...I can't get sound. During the
probe I get the ISA found IRQ ..message (its the only isa card I have)
should I have something different....also when I try to to do a
./MAKEDEV within /dev I get an error about no such
device(joy0,snd0 etc)
5. If anyone has any tips about how to slice up large( 12gigs or more)
hard drives I would like to hear them.
JOHN
