I have about 4 tar files I am trying to install and they exist on my primary drive in c:\FreeBSD\packages - FreeBSD is on my secondary drive. When I run /stand/sysinstall and choose to install packages it says something along the lines of being unable to find /index - I don't have the CD and I suspect it is looking for a directory structure I do not have in place. Given that I am still working on getting a PPP connection to work and so have to use my Win95 connection to get to ftp.freebsd.org and download the files I want, where should I put the tar files and how do I go about installing them?

Installation was a breeze. I even considered paying for the full version. (I guess I won't have to now, if WP8 will be truly free!) To get it to work, you have to make sure you have the Linux compatibility libraries installed. The easiest way to do that would be to install the port (in the ports directory under /emulators/linux_lib/). > >BTW, just signup at Corel's site for a notification on when WP8-linux >will be up on ftp sites..

I assume you mean DOS is on the first IDE controller on your system. Mount your DOS drive: mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt (or whatever mount point you care to use) Then use pkg_add: pkg_add /mnt/FreeBSD/packages/ -- Conrad Sabatier The moon may be smaller than Earth, but it's further away.

Some of them use only PAP or CHAP authentication - password information is sent with the modem handshaking. The reason I suspect this is because there is no login prompt when you dial up using term. Term should echo to you anything that the ISP modem is sending - therefore if they are sending a login prompt, you should see it on your screen. If you're not seeing it, chances are they aren't sending it. Read up in the handbook on PAP and CHAP and see if that doesn't resolve it. M.

Fortunately, doing a PAP or CHAP login is actually much easier than a chat-scripted login. All you have to do is include the commands "set authname " and "set authkey " in ppp.conf. And either comment out or delete altogether the "login" line. Good luck! -- Conrad Sabatier Think of your family tonight. Try to crawl home after the computer crashes.

But now find it doesn't work correctly. I used "repquota -a" to list the quota's information, and I found tow users had exceede the limit. I don't know what the "grace" means. I'v recompiled the kernel and modified the /etc/sysconfig and /etc/fstab. The FAQ told me, I must create the quotas files in the file systems which I want to limit the disk usage, ie: /usr/admin/quotas. I want to know: I must create the directory "admin"? And how to create the quotas file -- "touch" or something else? Any answer is appreciated!

Anyway, try to ping an IP address. Don't use a name. Try a known host, like www.ibm.com which is at 204.146.18.33 ping 204.146.18.33 and see if you get return packets. You probably will, indicating that your ppp connection is in fact ok. Then try to ping www.ibm.com with their name: ping www.ibm.com That probably won't work because you probably don't have a nameserver defined in /etc/resolv.conf You need to know your ISP's nameserver address. He should have two; primary and secondary DNS. put that info in /etc/resolv.conf See man resolv.conf for information. Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.

The good news is: it's really not that hard to do. See the handbook section on building a custom kernel. You'll want to make sure to include all of the SYSV options (this is what's causing the error above). See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for examples of all possible kernel configuration options you can use.

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:charters.html) 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 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.
