--------------47011954861A0CEDD5D832CE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit i got my freebsd box saturday by fedex, and have been reading the manual since then. i want to setup vinum on my system at installation. someone said that this is not possible. what then do i have to do setup vinum, so that i don't have to (re)start the (real) installation process after the (first, ie half-assed) `installation process'? is there anyway that i can access the vinum specification mechanism during the install? i understand that freebsd only uses the floppies for installation, and reserves the cd's for simply storing the packages and ports to be loaded into the system. are you folks telling me that with ten cd's, no one has figured out how to put a comprehensive installation program on one of the cd's? i am currently using suse-linux. they have an awesome installer called YaST. it does all of this at the beginning of the install. but then i have 256MB's RAM into which suse loads 48MB's for controlling the installation process. don't talk about your technological superiority, when you can't even manage a comprehensive install in one step. i am really getting pissed with linux. i am having nothing but continuing problems with system errors and crashes. i keep experiencing random failures. i don't if this is a linux problem or netscape's; but the last email i tried to send crashed netscape, and it didn't send or save it in the `sent folder'. i need to get freebsd running as quickly as possible. someone with real solutions, contact me. --------------47011954861A0CEDD5D832CE Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=+1>i got my freebsd box saturday by fedex, and have been reading the manual since then. i want to setup vinum on my system at installation. someone said that this is not possible. what then do i have to do setup vinum, so that i don't have to (re)start the (real) installation process after the (first, ie half-assed) `installation process'? is there anyway that i can access the vinum specification mechanism during the install? i understand that freebsd only uses the floppies for installation, and reserves the cd's for simply storing the packages and ports to be loaded into the system. are you folks telling me that with ten cd's, no one has figured out how to put a comprehensive installation program on one of the cd's? i am currently using suse-linux. they have an awesome installer called YaST. it does all of this at the beginning of the install. but then i have 256MB's RAM into which suse loads 48MB's for controlling the installation process. don't talk about your technological superiority, when you can't even manage a comprehensive install in one step.</font></font></b> <p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=+1>i am really getting pissed with linux. i am having nothing but continuing problems with system errors and crashes. i keep experiencing random failures. i don't if this is a linux problem or netscape's; but the last email i tried to send crashed netscape, and it didn't send or save it in the `sent folder'. i need to get freebsd running as quickly as possible. someone with real solutions, contact me.</font></font></b></html> --------------47011954861A0CEDD5D832CE-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
