This seems to eliminate the "can not reach "fax" service message; now I get (even as root): The server does not have a permissions file. Server refused; you do not have permission to use the fax server from CON. In any event hylafax seems to be more complicated than I expected, with lots of files and lots of man pages to read. The hylafax man page itself talks about a permissions file but doesn't explain where it should be located or its format. If there's a general reference on hylafax that explains the process of setting it up I would appreciate a pointer to it.

(look in /etc/resolv.conf for that, and use nslookup or dig to debug it). What type of routing do you use (if you want someone from outside your net to see the machine you must have some type of routing, at least a default router entry configured). Check that with netstat -r. You can set a default router by editing /etc/sysconfig. And BTW, you won't get http://your.machine unless you configure and run a web server, which is not on by default.

Check that your group ownership to wheel is enforced using a proper entry in the passwd database (vipw, I mean), and not merely in the /etc/group file. The su command looks like not considering entries in the /etc/group, as far as when validating wheel group at least. That seems not clearly documented in the su(1) man page. Regards, Marco.

The slash is the starting point, so to search from the current directory you'd replace it with a period. Personally I find this long procedure ridiculous, so I created a small script that depends on find and takes only one parameter, the filename, and searches from the current directory.

Ref your FreeBSD machine... Please check: 1) options gateway=YES on the /etc/sysconfig. 2) netmask on the network is the same on all machines in the same "net". 3) netstat -r shows a valid default gateway, that is a machine that the BSD can reach, using the ethernet interface. Ex: ifconfig ep0 206.186.50.133 netmask 0xffffff00 route add default 206.186.50.1 In this case the bsd can find the default gateway because the machine "1" is in the mask 0xffffff00 of the ep0 interface. And this machine "1" knows how to talk to the internt. May be it is a cisco router. If you send me more data, I can help you to put the machine online. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.

It worked beautifully before the upgrade. (and made NT-Server look silly!!! :) ) It's obviously somet hing stupid but I'll be darned if I can find it. Any suggestions / ideas???

However, I can't seem to solve the problem of installing Win95 and FreeBSD on the same hard drive. I know the list archives contain a great deal of information on this subject, but I simply cannot make it work. I have by the way installed FreeBSD by itself, without Win95, and it worked great. The problem is the boot manager. When installing BootEasy during the FTP install, it would'nt work at all. So I re-installed FreeBSD, then installed BootEasy from DOS, and it will boot Win95, but not FreeBSD. I suspect this is a disk geometry or partition size problem? The system is a 486DX4/100, with 8 meg of RAM. The hard drive is a 1gig Seagate ST51080A ( 2100cyl., 16 heads, and 63 sectors ). As I mentioned, the install medium was FTP. I have used both FIPS and FDISK to create the space needed, both with the same results. I apologize for asking such a novice question, as it has been covered here plenty already, but I have finally reached the point where I had to swallow my pride and ask for help.

Using your tips, I wasn't able to get it running and had to go to a lot more trouble to get FreeBSD running. Namely because I only got one tip, and it was wrong. I followed the instructions to in INSTALL.TXT to the _letter_, but they are wrong. I asked which of the files in the install directories must be present on the floppies. The single answer said "only the foo.aa, foo.ab, foo.ac, etc" ones. The answer is that the foo.inf file MUST be on the first floppy where 'foo' in introduced (and maybe on all floppies, but I only tried on floppy with 'bin') This should have occurred to me I suppose, because foo.inf is a 8.3 compatible name, whereas foo.mtree isn't, and this should have tipped me off. Oh well. So thanks again for the support. How about fixing the docs????

Then I select novice installation, go through the partition stuff, and select cdrom as the installation media. It says "Message: No CD ROM devices found!..." (Yes, it does say this after booting from a CD drive.) So, it seems to me that DOS is finding my CD drive fine, FreeBSD is finding my drive as device wdc1, and the sysinstall will not recognise it.

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"**). In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. I'm taking the viewpoint of the newcomer here: we have other ways of handling arrogant hackers :-) When submitting a question to FreeBSD-questions, please remember: 1. Nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You can influence this free will negatively by submitting an incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer. In the rest of this document, we'll look at how to get the most out of your question to FreeBSD-questions. 2. Not everybody who answers FreeBSD questions reads every message, so please specify a subject. "FreeBSD problem" or "Can't get this to work" aren't enough. If you provide no subject at all, most people won't bother reading it. If your subject isn't specific enough, the people who can answer it may not read it. 3. Please try to format your message so that it is legible, and PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!!!!!. We appreciate that a lot of people don't speak English as their first language, and we try to make allowances for that, but it's really painful to try to read a message written full of typos or without any line breaks. 4. Please don't include unrelated questions in the same message. Firstly, a long message tends to scare people off, and secondly, it's more difficult to get all the people who can answer all the questions to read the message. 5. Please specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: - If you get error messages, don't say "I get error messages", say (for example) "I get the error message 'No route to host'". - If your system panics, don't say "My system panicked", say (for example) "my system panicked with the message 'free vnode isn't'". - If you have difficulty installing FreeBSD, please tell us what hardware you have. In particular, it's important to know the IRQs and I/O addresses of the boards installed in your machine. 6. If you don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after, say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message again and again will only make you unpopular. For example, let's assume you know the answer to the following question. You choose which of these two questions you would be more prepared to answer: Message 1: Subject: (none) I just can't get hits damn silly FereBSD system to workd, and Im really good at this tsuff, but I have never seen anythign sho difficult to install, it jst wont work whatever I try so why don't y9ou guys tell me what I doing wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message 2: Subject: Problems installing FreeBSD I've just got the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, and I'm having a lot of difficulty installing it.

This will provide the basic framework that you need which will allow secure, authenticated connection between SSL-capable clients and your server, at which point, you'll need to do some CGI work in order to take care of the rest of the system. This month's issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal (http://www.ddj.com/) has an article on developing a Perl-based shopping cart.

However, the .ps documents are still more informative than just the man pages. If you have a postscript printer, just print them. If notm you can use ghostscript + ghostview to view them online (those are in the ports collection too). > > Also if you can point me towards any place that has some configuration info > on the fwtk I would very much appreciate it. Accept for the TIS stuff, I learned to configure firewalls mainly from the book "Firewalls and Internet Security - Repelling the Willy Hacker", by William R. Cheswick and Steven M. Bellovin, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-63357-4. While being a bit outdated, it is very well written and explains the logic behind firewalls (it doesn't talk about the use of any specific tools, though they do mention the TIS fwtk as one way to build a firewall). > > Anil > > Nadav From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 19 00:02:41 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id AAA23787 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:02:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from PACBELL.net (chumash.snfc21.pbi.net [206.13.28.17]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id AAA23782 for ; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:02:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: from leonards486 (ppp-206-170-1-71.snfc21.pacbell.net [206.170.1.71]) by PACBELL.net (8.7.5/8.7.1) with SMTP id AAA02304 for ; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:02:36 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.19960819070746.006645c8@pacbell.net> X-Sender: Leonard@pacbell.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.4 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1996 00:07:46 -0700 To: questions@freebsd.org From: Leonard Chung Subject: Pager Program?

And if you do (normally you don't, Berkeley-DB tries to do it instead) you have to compile NDBM instead of Berkeley-DB support into Perl (we're talking of Perl4, right?) IIRC, GNU gdb also creates .dir and .pag files, which are incompatible with ndbm files with the same name. So, which ones did you mean? /Marino > > Steve Stuczynski > S.J.S.

Here we have two machines with the same configuration. Pentium 100, 32 Mb RAM, HD 2.0 gb SCSI and a DAT TAPE DRIVER (EXABYTE) . Running FreeBSD 2.1. That's the problem i have. When i try to restore a backup, using tar for examplem my system crashes. Here follows the error msg the system sends to me: ahc0:target 3,lun 0 (st0) timet out st0(ahc0:3:0):BUS DEVICE RESET message Queued. st0(ahc0:3:0):TAEGET Busy ahc0:A:3:no active SCB for reconnecting target - issuing ABORT. SAVED_TCL == 0x30 ahc0:target1,lun0(sd0) timed out By the way, I tested the restore on both machines, using CPIO and TAR. But everytime i try to access something from the tape to the HD, the system crashes. Please, I'll be very glad if someone help me. Thanx a lot.

The mouse is Logitech 3-button Bus mouse (this also comes with an additional serial port attachment). I don't know if it is relevant to include this, but here goes: The motherboard is the Iwill P54TSW2 (Mine seems to be ok, but the reports I have from a couple of friends on this MB is not too impressive.... broken serial ports, and IDE controllers and absolutely no support at all from Iwill - Thats in case you were looking for a MB, and had this in mind also). I configured everything in xf86config and have included the file too for reference here. The XF86_SVGA comes up with a 300x320 ?? resolution, but none of the accel servers come up. I have included the errors reported when startx is run (X is ln -s'd to the accel server for the chipset, XF86_S3). If anyone has faced this problem before, or knows how to fix this, I would appreciate a response to this.

You should be able to copy the desired packages onto your MSDOS partition (making sure to rename them to ) then use pkg_manage or pkg_add to install them in FreeBSD. Some of the ports don't ship with corresponding packages (I think due to unusual licensing restrictions, such as xv) but you can always compile the port from source.

Just because of that i am contacting you today to give me some usefull information (if possible). I am very much interested in focusing the main differences among the very well known distributions of Linux (RedHat, Slakware, etc) and your system, but mainly advantages and disadvantages comparing them. I've read a lot through the Web and various ftp sites around the world (how_to's, FAQ's, README's, installation_info's etc) about how well one system operates under certain conditions, new features and many others, but didn't manage to find such a document.Finally, what i am trying to answer with this e-mail is : "Why a user must install O.system A and not B or C .." Please consider a lot of aspects, not only stability and robustness, things that already are No 1 in my mind. :) There are also some questions i have for you, concerning mostly the latest version of your system : 1. Just read that FreeBSD supports all versions of CPU's from Pentium down-to 386SX (not recommended) P6 included? (if Y up to 200Mhz?) How about CPU's from other than Intel manufacteurs? (AMD, Cyrix, TI,..)? 2. Does your O.S. support multi/parallel processing machines. If N (till now) would you include this in next versions? 3. How often (middle case) a new version arrives? How far improved is it usually, comparing with the previous one? (i mean how much a user is 'pushed' to change and invest in the new one?) 4. How easy is it to upgrade from one version to another? (again concerning the middle case). Does it only include re-compiling of the kernel? 5. What kind of s/w written for Linux is it possible to run under FreeBSD? Does it works as an emulation or are they s/w compatible 100%? (just in case of the emulation, how fast -in really terms- this is?) 6. How about running (2) or more O.S. under the same machine? How safe can such a disk/system be? Do you provide something like LILO in the Linux case, for doing the thing during bootup? 7. I know there are a lot of organisations and individuals out there, already using your O.S. Can you provide me a list with the main - already know - sites or big organisations belonging to your 'club'? 8. How tricky can a installation through ftp be comparing this of a CD? Cd provided includes the latest version of the s/w or just the stable one? 9.

The 2.2 release won't be happening until the end of the year (?) or so, and so it'll be a few months before you get it. However, Walnut Creek is (just now) sending out the 2.1.5 release on CDROM. If you're on the subscription program, you should be getting your copy any day now (however, I don't know what the mail delays are like for overseas mail, and so it could take longer). Alternatively, if you can accept a little instability, you might want to get the latest 2.2-snapshot (the 960801 version). I believe Walnut Creek is releasing this particular version as part of their snapshot subscription program. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

I looked at /usr/src/lib/libncurses/version.h: #define NCURSES_VERSION "1.8.6" Next, I found a ncurses-1.8.6 using archie, grabbed it and diff'ed it against FreeBSD's (supposed) 1.8.6 Well, there seem to be more differences than can be accounted for from a simple port to FreeBSD -- there are some changes marked by #ifdef MYTINFO, and there are many other changes without any clue. My question is: are the changes made to FreeBSD's version of ncurses 1.8.6 available in the CVS tree, and if so, how can I get them so that I can attempt to port the latest ncurses to FreeBSD? *My personal opinions follow* I hope the answer is 'yes', but if not, then why not? The deltas should be kept so that when a volunteer finally tackles the job of bringing any of the software packages that have been integrated into FreeBSD up to date with respect to the current version, then the job will not entail a complete "from scratch" development. I also noticed that when ncurses was integrated into the FreeBSD source tree, a lot of the original package was omitted, files were moved and renamed, etc. It seems to me that, again, to facilitate keeping FreeBSD current, a philosophy of "minimal" change should be adopted -- at least with the distribution files. Also, the changes should be easily recoverable -- either as RCS/CVS files, or #ifdef'ed, or as patches, etc. I can understand replacing the Makefiles to install the files under different names, and build only portions that will be installed, but wholesale changes (which seem to have been made) only serve to keep FreeBSD's version becoming more and more divergent from the currently available sources. *Opionion mode off* Thanks for your help.

Aug 14 14:26:30 joes /kernel: pci0:11: CMD, device=0x0640, class=storage (ide) [no driver assigned] The full device probe is shown below. I was wondering if the message would be indicative of a CDROM problem I noticed. When copying large programs from the mounted CDROM, the system would hang indefinitely. A keyboard lockup would occur and a forced reboot would be necessary. Do these symtoms (and/or message) suggest the possibility of a simple recurring problem with an easy fix? Thank you, J.

Nothing more than a shell script would even be necessary. Have a look at the following...

As I'm running current, I didn't really take care of them because -current is not intended to be stable and people also had problems (that is the game). After 2.1.5, -current seems to be ok for people and I still have problems with my box. Particularly after an idle time, when the activity is increasing again. As I use 3 disks for swapping, I thought this was because of a too important need of power, so I disabled one of the swap areas. I was close to the solution when for the first time I decided to stay at the console (I usually start X) and wait, wait, ... I finally got the answer: trap 19 NMI (aka power fail NMI), bingo! I since run a kernel with `options POWERFAIL_NMI' and for the first time received a beep and a Aug 19 20:31:35 xp11 /kernel: NMI: power fail as expected, but my box is *still* alive.

So your heirarchy should look like: ~ftp ---- pub --- FreeBSD --- 2.1.5-RELEASE --- bin des dict games .... Also try setting the FTP error mode to 'retry' in the options screen. This pokes sysinstall into trying some other directory structures, including the one used on the CDROM (so you can mount the cd under ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE and have it work). Then use the URL ftp://your.machine.and.stuff/pub/FreeBSD when asked by sysinstall. It knows what your release version is and will look for it. You can look at ftp://resnet.uoregon.edu/ if you need another example.

Are there any parameters for my Console or > color_xterm I can use? Note that pagers like more and less will translate the 8 bit ESC characters into on screen, so you will need to use the -r option to keep 'less' from translating those characters. Note that if there are other control characters in the file, those will be passed directly on to the screen without translation, and strange things may happen. I assume this is what you are trying to do when you say your are piping information from colorls and getting garbage. What do you get when you do 'colorls -G'? Does the output look OK? I don't know how to force 'more' into raw mode.

(AMD, Cyrix, TI,..)? FreeBSD supports the i386 architecture. This includes Intel processors that are 386 & 486 compatible, such as the Pentium and the Pentium Pro. Other manufacturers, AMD and Cyrix specifically, are also supported. I don't know about TI. The support doesn't imply that FreeBSD contains optimizations for those processors, only that it will run on them. > 2. Does your O.S. support multi/parallel processing machines.

A new RELEASE is put out every 6 months or so. It is a _really_ good idea to upgrade to RELEASEs since they are very stable and are well-tested. Intermittiently, SNAPshots are made available. SNAPs are built from the current FreeBSD development. They are usually built when development, referred to as the -current branch, comes to a point where a critical component has been upgraded and needs beta-testing, or where -current hits a decent level of stability. Or for the adventurous, you can track -current directly and run at the 'bleeding edge'. > 4. How easy is it to upgrade from one version to another? (again concerning > the middle case). Does it only include re-compiling of the kernel? RELEASEs and SNAPs are upgraded from the install program, which involved copying over new system components and rebuilding the kernel. THe only changes that have to be made by the user are to the configurations in /etc and to rebuild the kernel. > 5. What kind of s/w written for Linux is it possible to run under FreeBSD? > Does it works as an emulation or are they s/w compatible 100%? (just in > case of the emulation, how fast -in really terms- this is?) Linux emulation is available. It's not 100% totally compatible, but will run the vast majority of Linux programs. AFAIK, there is no performance penalty for using the emulator. Obviously, it is much prefereable to port & recompile those programs directly to FreeBSD, but the emulator is available should you need it (for Java-enabled Netscape for instance). > 6.

We provide a utility called 'booteasy' to do multi-boots, but you can use whatever you like (including LILO). I personally use OS/2's Boot Manager and have no ill effects. > 7. I know there are a lot of organisations and individuals out there, already > using your O.S.

Our primary user and supporter is Walnut Creek CDROM, maintainer of the ever-popular ftp.cdrom.com and FreeBSD's home site. A partial list is available on our Web site at http://www.freebsd.org in the Gallery. > 8. How tricky can a installation through ftp be comparing this of a CD? > Cd provided includes the latest version of the s/w or just the stable one? CDs are built for the RELEASE and SNAPshots. You can 'subscribe' to the CDS, which means that when a new one is released it is automatically mailed and billed to your credit card. The RELEASEs and SNAPs are two different subscriptions, so if you don't intend to closely track FreeBSD you can just subscribe to the RELEASEs and get those. > 9.

Can this be true in world like this? > (please extend your mind beyond the obvious answer of science-funs) Here are some of my reasons: 1) It's a public service to the Internet community. The Internet is built on a history of free public access, and a public operating system developed over the Net fits well with this philosophy. 2) That a group of people (with diverse backgrounds) can build a OS to take on the best commerical operating systems and surpass them for no cost. Here are a few things I snapped from the web site: Education: Are you a student of computer science or a related engineering field? There is no better way of learning about operating systems, computer architecture and networks than the hands on, under the hood experience that FreeBSD can provide. A number of freely available CAD, mathematical and graphic design packages also make it highly useful to those who's primary interest in a computer is to get other work done! Research: With source code for the entire system available, FreeBSD is an excellent platform for research in operating systems as well as other branches of computer science. FreeBSD's freely available nature also makes it possible for remote groups to collaborate on ideas or shared development without having to worry about special licensing agreements, or with limitations on what can be discussed in certain forums. 1.3. FreeBSD Project goals Contributed by Jordan K. Hubbard . The goals of the FreeBSD Project are to provide software that may be used for any purpose and without strings attached. Many of us have a significant investment in the code (and project) and would certainly not mind a little financial renumeration now and then, but we're definitely not prepared to insist on it. We believe that our first and foremost "mission" is to provide code to any and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit.

This was because: 1) Not many people use the floppy install since it is rather long and painful. But it _is_ necessary in some cases, we hate to say. 2) I was gone on vacation. I've seen others struggle over it and I think I've figured out how the floppies have to be laid out for them to work right. > I followed the instructions to in INSTALL.TXT to the _letter_, but they > are wrong. That's no surprise. I think the floppy install got left out of much of our install testing, and as a result the docs weren't updated either. Put a complaint into docs@freebsd.org and maybe that'll prod them into fixing them. I'm about ready to subscribe over there and help them fix stuff. > I asked which of the files in the install directories > must be present on the floppies.

See, my machine does it too: pci0:12: CMD, device=0x0640, class=storage (ide) int a irq 14 [no driver assigned] It means that the CMD controller doesn't have a specific driver to go with it (and it doesn't).

Don't know about that. Sounds more like a cable or controller or IRQ clash than just a missing driver.

Stumped in Florida. The new SIMM is also bad. I suggest finding another supplier. FreeBSD tends to work memory more vigorously than other systems (including Win95 and Linux) so hidden memory errors are more prevalent. I'd check your timings in BIOS setup and slow those down as well. Bad processor cache RAM will also cause erratic behavior.

Can someone guide me here. thanx bala@cst.com.au From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 19 21:33:36 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA18341 for questions-outgoing; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 21:33:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ime.net (ime.net [204.97.248.4]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA18332 for ; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 21:33:32 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kimiko.tcguy.net (buxton-1.ime.net [206.231.148.130]) by ime.net (8.7.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA18497; Mon, 19 Aug 1996 17:04:18 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <3218D743.2F4@ime.net> Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1996 17:06:11 -0400 From: Gary Chrysler Reply-To: tcg@ime.net Organization: The Computer Guy X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b6 (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Gary Kline CC: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: kernel config file...

I would like to know if there is any software, or anyone knows of a way that a server running FreeBSD can be used as an ISDN Internet router. Reason for asking: At home I have more then one computer, plus my wife has a computer. WE both access Internet quite often for various reasons. Currently if we both want to access internet at the same time we have a problem. We are planning to install ISDN, however this does not solve the problem of not being able to access at the same time. The first suggestion will probably be get anther phone line, however a new phone line costs $800 here in Japan... which is around the cost of things like the Netopia Router or other similar products... If I could use my FreeBSD server as the router it woudl be the lest costly solution... Thanks in advance.

That's about what I thought. It's odd, though, that the FreeBSD box goes crazy. A look at dmesg shows that it can't even find the MAC address of the ethernet card if the mac's turned on when it boots.

I'm trying to install 2.1.5-RELEASE. In options, I chose secure NFS because I'm trying to mount off of a SUN workstation. I go through everything and then do a commit. After the filesystem has been created and some files off of the boot floppy has been copied, I get the error message: Error mounting sunbeam:/u/export/FreeBSD on /dist: No such file or directory ( The rest of the line gets cut off. I do an alt-F2 and the screen said: DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file mount_nfs: can't get net id for host DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1 So I did an alt-F1 back to the error message and chose continue. It then gave: Can't find a kernel image to link to on the root file system! you're going to have a hard time getting this system to boot from the hard disk, I'm afraid! So I chose continue again. Then it said: Installation completed with some errors. your may wish to scroll through the debugging messages on VTY1 with the scroll-lock feature. With another continue keystroke: The commit operation completed with errors. Not updating /etc/files. With one last continue keystroke, it then returned me back to the "Choose Custom Installation Options" menu. I chose Commit again. This time, it was able to mount the server and proceed. All goes well and after a reboot, the machine is up and running. My question is, is this normal? Are the files in /etc updated? My screen saver doesn't seem to work (kick in after the specified time interval). That was the first thing I noticed. I then tried to directly mount from FreeBSD.cdrom.com and got the same thing. This didn't used to happen with 2.1.0-RELEASE. Any comments or pointers would be greatly appreciated. William T.

Like I said before, though, it hasn't been "real-world" tested, since I don't have a pager. All I know is that it dials my phone number whenever the modem sends a RING. :) The basic idea is as follows, Your modem is attached to a com port. For every com port you have, there is a file in your /dev directory which, when read from, returns data from the com port, and, when written to, sends data to the com port. (Incidentally, this file has associated with information regarding the baud rate, cr->nl mapping, and just about everything else. man 1 stty if such unimportant details are interesting. man 3 tcgetattr is even more interesting, actually. This `struct termios' stuff is associated with, for example, stdin, stderr, and /dev/mouse) We want a shell script that will, when it reads a `RING', print `atdt 5557399'. It must not just print `atdt 5557399', however. It must, after the `RING', wait about 10 minutes so that the person can leave their message. Because it's possible for the attempted `atdt 5557399' to fail, it must also somehow know that the pager was successfully dialed. Because the reading (from the com port) will BLOCK (or wait) until a whole line is read, the script will have to fork one process to read for a succesful "CONNECTED" message, and another to dial in the meantime. Depending on your specific modem some changes may be necessary. Hopefully they wouldn't/won't be too hard to make. This script expects to have data from the modem sent to it as (stdin) and data printed to (stdout) is expected to go to the modem. Therefore, it must be started like this, ./pager < /dev/cuaa? > /dev/cuaa? So that it can read/write to /dev/cuaa? it must be run as root. Where the `?' is, you should put the com port number of the modem - 1. For example, if you modem is on com1, you would use ./pager < /dev/cuaa0 > /dev/cuaa0 We need to specify the `./' in front of `pager' because the pager program is not in one of the directories specified in your PATH. Alternatively, if it is, you may have to type `rehash' to make csh know that it is in one of the directories specified in your PATH. There! Lotsa comments! :) Any other (fairly specific questions, I trust) will be entertained, too. :) #! /bin/sh # This line makes the system use the /bin/sh program to interpret the # file. It also means that making this a setuid program will not make # it a setuid program. # If there is already an environment variable by the name of LOGFILE, # then we'll leave LOGFILE as that. Otherwise, we'll make LOGFILE # equal to `/dev/null'. LOGFILE=~/.junk ./pager < /dev/cuaa1 > /dev/cuaa1 # would set LOGFILE to ~/.junk. LOGFILE=${LOGFILE:-/dev/null} # Later we fork another process.

My institution needs to be able to track and account for on a user by user basis the number of pages printed. We have more than 10 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4 printers, with a smattering of others. The crux of the question at this point is, "How can we get the printer to report the number of pages it prints on each job?" The FBSD handbook suggests that it can be done (see below) but I've been unable to locate any information at HP or on the web about this issue. A further question is whether or not any more sophisticated printer use management programs exist out there for FreeBSD. Danke schoen. JA .............................................................................. Jonathan Stephen Anderson Life's no picnic Information Technology when you're infinitesimal Eastern Nazarene College - Jon's Ode to a Differential - Voice: (617) 745-3506, andersoj@enc.edu (alpha) The following is excerpted from the FreeBSD handbook: ---------begin excerpt text 7.6.5.2. How Can You Count Pages Printed? In order to perform even remotely accurate accounting, you need to be able to determine how much paper a job uses. This is the essential problem of printer accounting. ... blah blah ... There is only one sure way to do accurate accounting. Get a printer that can tell you how much paper it uses, and attach it via a serial line or a network connection. Nearly all PostScript printers support this notion. Other makes and models do as well (networked Imagen laser printers, for example). Modify the filters for these printers to get the page usage after they print each job and have them log accounting information based on that value only. There is no line counting nor error-prone file examination required. ---------end excerpt text From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 20 06:04:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA27111 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 06:04:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sam.networx.ie (dublin-ts4-109.indigo.ie [194.125.133.109]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA27105 for ; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 06:04:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mip1.networx.ie (mip1.networx.ie [194.9.12.1]) by sam.networx.ie (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id KAA01298; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 10:43:05 +0100 X-Organisation: I.T.

Since there are no other > routers on your PPP link, redirects don't make any sense on it and the other > end is wrong in sending them to you. You're right in what you're saying, but I don't think your case applies to me. Here is my setup: when I establish the PPP link, I get assigned a dynamically allocated IP address. I'm not certain, but I think this address is from my ISP's own pool, i.e. I'm getting an address from the pool they use on their own LAN. Then, I'm assuming, the other end of my PPP link acts as a proxy ARP server for me. Now, here's where it's debatable. My PPP peer knows he's a proxy ARP server, so he should play the game accordingly. But he seems to forget this when it comes to routing. I'm sending him datagrams bound for a destination for which he's not the appropriate first hop, so he says, "screw this; let's send this guy a Redirect". Even if what you say *is* the situation in my particular case, and he is wrong in sending the Redirects, still why doesn't FreeBSD honour them? After all, the router he's redirecting me to *is* on the same IP network: me=194.125.135.89 mypeer=194.125.135.23 peer_says_redirect_to 194.125.135.1 Mike --- From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 20 06:05:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id GAA27239 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 06:05:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cypress.cycon.com (sconner@cypress.CYCON.COM [204.5.16.32]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id GAA27234 for ; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 06:05:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (sconner@localhost) by cypress.cycon.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id HAA05396; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 07:37:59 -0400 Date: Tue, 20 Aug 1996 07:37:58 -0400 (EDT) From: Steve Conner To: Darryl Okahata cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: CD-Writers and Kernel Configurations In-Reply-To: <199608200539.AA254539547@hpnmhjw.sr.hp.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks for the reply Darryl, I had the kernel stuff right, all I'm lacking are the patches to have FreeBSD recognize this player as a writer.

Be sure your serial line and application is set for readng/writing. If you do not have serial line to every printer, you still can get a pretty good *text* page count by counting carriage returns and form feeds in the output filter. This is pretty useless for postscript files, but then a person could work a filter program using gs to count the pauses between gs processing the postscript pages. --mark.

I would > expect to see only one redirect; not one for every > packet I send. There are a number of reasons why redirects might be ignored. 1) They don't appear to come from the current gateway. 2) There are bugs in the 2.1 routing table code. 3) They appear to point to the receiving host. 4) You are running the -current routed, which has a bug in it causing it to delete redirect routes as soon as it receives them. You can often tell what's going on inside the routing subsystem by using the ``route monitor'' command. RTM_REDIRECT messages which are shown with errno 22 (EINVAL) are caused by (1) and (3); failure mode (2) will give you other errors or no error at all, and (4) will be obvious. A fix for (4) in -current is in the works right now. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.

If the PPP link, then you can't actually do anything (since the IP address of the router is only used to get the link layer address and there's only one machine on the other end of the PPP link). If not, then RFC1122 says to ignore the redirect. The router on the other end of your PPP link is asking you to do something impossible; it's asking you to not use it as a router to get to things that are beyond it.

For PostScript you could hack a gs driver which doesn't emit anything in normal case, and emits only something easily parsable (e.g. newline) whenever it has to flush a page. Then count the characters :) Such a driver should be farely trivial (on order of 20 C lines or so) and pretty resource-wasteful only to count pages, but absolutely reliable :) Or, you can hack the existing drivers so that they *always* print out the page flush message to stderr, and then account for them.

Is this supposed to work ????? Interesting, I do this regularly. What command are you using to save to the tape/get from the tape? One thing that might help is to use a known blocksize. Some unixs have different ideas about blocksize. Also somthing to look at is byte swapping. you can use dd to get around this problem with the swab command. -branson -- ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?

Hi Bill, Thanks for sticking with me on this one. Your precise explanation has finally knocked on my head and made me see the light. Of course you're right -- the router IP address is only used to get its link address. Background: My ISP had given me a gateway IP address, which I ignored for months. I simply set my peer as the default router. But, last night, while tcpdump'ing the PPP traffic, I noticed the Redirects and got to thinking "yeah, I -should- be using the gateway, after all". This has raised two interesting things for me (the 2nd of which might interest the group as a whole): (a) Why do PC-based packages not grey-out the Gateway field when configuring SLIP/PPP as the data link? (b) I tried to install the gateway address given me by my ISP as the default route and got a "Disc quota exceeded" message back from "route". Does this message indicate a bug/feature in FreeBSD's handling of the situation?

I am having problems getting the system to install because we use dynamic IP addressing on all of our machines. The NT servers will lease an IP address to us for 1 to 2 weeks and then we are re-assigned an IP address. Is there a way that I can get this when installing FreeBSD using the FTP option (through a firewall)? If this is not possible then I would like to just install the app from my HD. I am using the install instructions that states to copy the directories to my C:\ drive and install from that DOS location. When I try to install I need to format my C:\ drive, but I have 2 SCSI hard drives and I would like to install to the second drive since it is much larger. If I do install to the C:\ drive will the flat FreeBSD directory be wiped out? Please lend some install instructions. There seems to be limited info on installing FreeBSD. I tried the Web page and searched the mail archives, but I could not find the info that I needed.

"Disc quota exceeded" means "The gateway for this new route is only reachable by using this new route to get to it". You might imagine how that could cause some uncomfortable recursion. You could try installing a host route for the gateway address pointing to the PPP link, although since once again gateway addresses are only used to choose the link layer address, I don't think this will do anything for your redirect problem. (e.g. route add ga.te.wa.y p.p.p.peer route add default ga.te.wa.y but if that even works it will be effectively the same as route add default p.p.p.peer which is what I think you had ) Bill From owner-freebsd-questions Tue Aug 20 09:31:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA12289 for questions-outgoing; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 09:31:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sam.networx.ie (dublin-ts2-69.indigo.ie [194.125.133.69]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA12278 for ; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 09:31:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mip1.networx.ie (mip1.networx.ie [194.9.12.1]) by sam.networx.ie (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id RAA05496 for ; Tue, 20 Aug 1996 17:31:57 +0100 X-Organisation: I.T.

To repeat the question: I've a FreeBSD2.1 machine with local disks, fully configured, etc. but I want this machine to use BOOTP to acquire its network information, at boot time.

If it works like other PC hardware, it should work. Currently, FreeBSD won't be able to take advantage of your other 3 PPros, but you may want to check into the SMP development mailing list freebsd-smp and track that.

Hm. I thought there was a bootp client, but I guess not. It comes with a server though. Why would you want to bootp a unix box? FreeBSD and unix in general doesn't sit well with dynamic configuration. They are designed for static addresses with static names.

Thanks again for all your help. Sounds like you need 'popclient'. Popclient will pull your mail through POP and put them into a mail folder. I think the port-ed version (2.21) is broken and will eat all your mail, so you have to put it into another folder. But I think that's what you want.

Ugly ugly ugly :( Install doesn't support DHCP, so you'll need to suck up an IP for the install. I ddon't know if sysinstall supports proxy.

If you don't have one, pick one disk, make like a 200mb DOS primary partition, use that for the install, then just delete that slice and add the disk like you are adding a new disk to the system (which isn't easy, I hate to say).

My wife wants to be able to surf the net using her Mac. Thus i'm going to hook the two systems together via Ethernet. Rather than trying to get my new ISP to give me an extra static IP address and route to it, I thought I'd just give her Mac one of the private addresses defined by RFC 1597. Then run a address translating proxy on my FreeBSD system. However, this is all theory and I've never done anything like this before, so I was curious if this is the best approach ? The TIS toolkit looks like it might offer what I need (plus a lot of logging I don't) and supports all the application level protocols she wants. I was also assuming it would be a good idea to enable iij-ppp so that traffic recieved by the proxy will demand dial the ISP. Any comments ?

The board has 256K of pipelined burst cache on a COAST module. I am currently running a Cyrix 6x86 120Mhz processor on it and 2x16Mb EDO, TIN plated, 60ns Hitachi SIMMS. I also have an ExpertColor DSV 3325 (S3 Virge (325) based PCI video card). I am currently running BSD 2.1 My problem is this: Whenever I make world, I get the following panic: "rlist_free : free start overlaps already freed area at list tail." This happens at different times during the "make world" process. Putting 2x8Mb non-parity SIMMS in seems to solve the problem. If different EDO SIMMS (also TIN plated) are inserted, the problem still persists. I have tried swapping out the video card as well but have had no luck. My kernel is compiled for a 486. Thus there seems to be a problem with this motherboard, EDO SIMMS and BSD (the board world fine under e.g. '95 and NT). The person whom I bought the motherboard from says there is no problem with his motherboard. He thinks that by putting GOLD plated SIMMS in the motherboard, the problem could go away. The motherboard manual says nothing about the need for gold plated SIMMS. The supplier basically says that this is a BSD problem. 3 questions: 1) What causes this particular kernel panic i.e. could someone please explain the error to me. 2) Why would GOLD plated SIMMS make a difference (assuming they do as the system is currently being tested) 3) Should I continue kicking up a fuss about the motherboard by saying that it should not matter whether I insert TIN or GOLD plated SIMMS? What valid reasons can I give my supplier that this motherboard is not suitable (assuming of course that it is not).

X-Url: http://www.freebsd.org/support.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I tried a floppy and DOS partition installation of FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE and 2.1.5-RELEASE to each of a 386-40 w/2 IDE 115MB disks, a 486DLC-40 w/1 850MB IDE disk, and a Pentium-100 w/1 1.2GB IDE disk. Each time, I got the warning Calculated sectors percyclinder (xxxx) does not agree ... or something and the installation crashed with a written -1 of 512 bytes, invalid gzip, etc. It is not the data or the media. I've tried two versions, downloaded 10 times, from 3 sites, so at least one of those installations should have worked. In each case, I was dedicating the entire disk(s) to FreeBSD (except the DOS partition installation!). It seems to me that the installation program reads the data, and caches it in core memory. When the buffer is full it flushes it to the disk. However, since the calculated geometry is wrong, it tries to write it to some unknown destination and thppt...crash! In each case the calculated geometry was GROSSLY miscalculated. (My 115MB disk under the calculated geometry of 4096 sectors/track would be like a 2GB+ disk!) Is there any way that I can FORCE the installation to the correct geometry. I've entered the CORRECT geometry under the partition part, with and without LBA (ie. the TRUE geometry and the translated geometry) and it seems that in both cases the net effect is the same. How does FreeBSD get such a wild geometry? It seems to detect the correct geometry at boot and partition parts, but when it creates the file system it's 100%+ wrong. Please help! Nate.

I haven't tried the SMP stuff yet, so I have no idea whether or how well it works. Also, the two(!) onboard Adaptec controllers need an unsupported kernel patch for FreeBSD to be able to find the controllers.

For the same reason that I want to configure a Windows PC using BOOTP -- it centralises my administration of the network hosts. I think Unix boxes are designed for static addresses only when they're acting as servers. The ones I want to BOOTP will be clients. But, even so, I think only the hostname needs to be static on a server; client software shouldn't be using IP addresses. Also, c.f. Sun's bootparamd.

I'm wondering if there's some known bug with 2.1-STABLE. (Build on May 17 from the current archive.) On several occasions during routing updates from local RIP hosts, I've had the kernel roll over and die, rebooting the system. The only way I have been able to reproduce it is as follows: x.x.x.1 is a FreeBSD box x.x.x.2 is a terminal server giving RIP announcements to the localnet. x.x.x.3 is a remote network connected via PPP. #1. from x.x.x.1, ping x.x.x.3. Since rip doesn't know this host is on via PPP, it will try to send packets to the local net and fail. This has the (somewhat unfortunate) result of adding a routing entry to x.x.x.3 via x.x.x.3. #2: Delete the route to x.x.x.3 via x.x.x.3 and re-add a route to x.x.x.3 via x.x.x.2 On two separate occasions, doing this has crashed the box, though in both cases I had to execute the above twice. On one other occasion, I was playing around with other RIP announcements in the local net which seemed to crash the box as well (I wasn't using the freebsd box at all.) I'd rather not give up on using RIP in a freebsd environment at all. Have there been any other such reports or fixes? Should I be running gated instead? (Not sure if gated does RIP.) Sean T.

You will have to re-boot and format that partition( unless you're crafty with assembly language :) ). Otherwise FIPS will complain about an invalid jump instruction. 2) Split the partition you created and formatted with FIPS, making the first ("old partition") large enough for root + swap. 3) Start the FreeBSD Installation and select "Novice" installation. 4) At the BSD Fdisk screen you'll see 4 partition entries... 2 unused ones, and 2 FAT partitions in the middle. Select the FIRST partion and select 'D' to delete it. 5) You now have 2 unused partitons and one FAT partition. Select the first unused one and select 'C' for create. Here you'll create your root and swap partitions. I made my root 25M, so I specified 25M in the dialog box, and accepted the default type 165 for the partition type. Be careful here as you'll need a 'true 20 megs for your / partition. 6) You now have 5 partition entries. Select the SECOND unused partition and ('C') create the swap partition. I just accepted the default size and type here too. 7) I then selected the last unused partition used all of it for /usr and /var. ( I create /var as a subdirectory of /usr and symlink it, after installation ) I then selected 'Q' to finish. And selected Boot Mgr installation. 8) If you're still with me you'll come to the DiskLabel editor where you'll set your mount points. If you've done exactly as I did, you'll have one DOS partition labeled wd0s2, and 3 BSD partitions, or slices. (wd0s1, s3, and s4) Select wd0s1, press 'C' to create, accept the default size, then 'FS' for file system and / as a mount point. Select wd0s2, press 'C' to create, accept the default size, then 'SWAP' This creates your swap slice. Do the same for /usr ( the final BSD slice and you should be on your way! You'll then need to install DOS, or Windoze once you've installed FreeBSD. Win95 hoses the BootMgr so once you finish installing that, you'll have to go back and re-install it with 'bootinst.exe'. The it's all uphill from there!!! :) Hope this helps!

The geometry used for the filesystem is a fiction designed to defeat some of the old optimisations built into the filesystem design back when the old RA81 was a hot piece of disk hardware and it was worth the system's time caring about the geometry.

I have FreeBSD version 2.1.0 with the generic kernel. Whenever I try to run config, the program will run maybe 2 or 3 seconds, and then it will exit on signal 11. (Segmentation Fault.) I thought that I might be running low on swap, so I tried booting up into the single user mode and tried again. No change whatsoever occured. (Instead it will call it a Memory Fault.) Some people thought that I didn't have enough swap space period to compile a kernel. I mounted an unused partition on the hard drive for use as swap and that brought the total to 50 megs. Still, it didn't seem to make any difference. I don't know what else could cause trouble. It could be that the chipset is too buggy to do kernel compiles. Turning off all caching didn't seem to cure the problem. Config could be corrupt, but I don't know how to verify that. I did have great difficulty getting hold of and installing the kernel source codes. I may have to try reinstalling them.

Just want to know if is impossible to run on my hardware or not. I have a Pent-120, IDE CD-ROM (I know), EIDE HD, and a VESA DPMS Monitor. (Just in case DPMS: Display Power Managment Signaling) Here goes: 1) FIPS errors. Says partition table is corrupt. (Defrag worked, so did fdisk /status) 2) emm386 gets in the way. no problem take I took it out. If I still try to boot with out a floppy it just starts DOS all over again. 3) tried booting with floopy. reads floppy, loads kernal then puts my monitor in OFF mode. I get no video signal. If I force my monitor back on it looks like there is a signal with no horizontal or vertical sync pulses. 4) boot -c. I can get into the config utility. resolve all conflics but as soon as I exit it shuts my monitor off. I found the console driver, which seems to work as I can see the config utility. But I can not see any other video or terminal drivers to configure? I am sorry to bother you but a short simple answere would be very much appreciated before I take the disks back. Unfortunetly for me I needed something to work with right away. Thank you for your time. Dean Toth.

All the base fonts are quality PS fonts, and don't degrade when large or small like the fonts that were released before it. Basically, many of the fonts that came with earlier gs releases were generated from bitmaps, with little or no hinting. At large sizes, you see the blockiness of the bitmap, and at small sizes the lack of hinting causes small features to disappear.

PS fonts delivered with gs are an abomination not suitable even for CRT's (they have been generated from bitmap fonts from X11 distribution, without hinting nor anything.) If you get some true PS fonts, I wish you good luck finding AFM files in order to generate tfm files needed for tex. /Marino > > -- > Gabor Zahemszky > > -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- > Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever. > Tsiolkovsky > From owner-freebsd-questions Wed Aug 21 08:58:17 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id IAA01025 for questions-outgoing; Wed, 21 Aug 1996 08:58:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ingate.adc.com (ingate.adc.com [155.226.10.200]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id IAA01014 for ; Wed, 21 Aug 1996 08:58:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: by ingate.adc.com (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.3) id AA08856; Wed, 21 Aug 1996 10:59:32 -0500 Message-Id: <9608211559.AA08856@ingate.adc.com> Received: by theoden (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA047093050; Wed, 21 Aug 1996 10:57:30 -0500 From: "Michael A.

If you are serious about Postscript, you have to buy ATM for PCs and use the fonts from there (I'm pretty sure the license lets you do that), or better yet, get Adobe Type Basics, which has the Postscript 35, Tekton, Adobe Garamond, and some others. The PC version has .afm and .pfb files. I think that the Alladin Ghostscript even has a font config file set up for this type bundle. If not, I can mail a copy to anyone who needs it. Mike.

It's quite frustrating, I have gotten such a minute amount of support that I've put my POP aspirations on ice for the moment. Let me know if you figure it out! I have managed to get my local copy of pine to send outgoing messages to a queue, which then go to the ISP when I hook up, but even that works only sporadically, and like POP, sendmail is also poorly documented (Unless you buy a book, which is certain to be over 2 inches thick.)

I'd say that popclient is one of the most straightforward programs I've installed. One man page to read with all the options given. The purpose of popclient (usually, anyway) is to retrieve mail from a remote mail server and read it locally, not remotely. I run the following from .login, but on a machine connected by ethernet; it would not work to run popclient from a machine on which you must first make a slip or ppp connection until you make the connection. This command runs version three of popclient verbosely with my username and password given and puts the mail in a file called in-newmail, one of my pine folders, after connecting to the host hoover.stanford.edu. Note that the host must be running a pop server.

Now why are the messages going to the ISP? The only issue here is whether you use sendmail on your own machine (when connected by ppp or slip) as the mail transport agent or whether you use the ISP. If you use sendmail it probably bypasses the ISP altogether except as a hop. If you use sendmail on your own machine it must be running. Note that pine itself has no popclient capabilities. Popclient is a program you run separately from pine, although it will put the mail in a pine folder or in fact in any folder you ask it to. > > Ken > > On Tue, 20 Aug 1996, Jason Parsons wrote: > > > Is there any way to make the local mail directory a link to my popmail > > account?

The machine that the ethernet card does work on is not the one I am attempting to install FreeBSD onto. It is running MSDOS 6.22, Novell Netware version 4, Win 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock 1.0. Is it possible, and what do I need to do/install, to install FreeBSD by linking my machine to the network machine via either a null modem cable or laplink cable, and utilising a SLIP install. Time is no object in this case. Will I need any software on the network machine, like somw sort of SLIP server or not. This is getting urgent so please answer ASAP. Also, has anyone done, or going to do, a port of Doom or Doom2 to FreeBSD platform.

Again, that should be plenty for your needs. To increase the number of mbuf clusters, add this to your kernel config file: options "NMBCLUSTERS=4096" "netstat -m" will tell you how many mbuf clusters are in use and how many have been allocated. They use up RAM though, so don't go crazy with them.

It's not the same machine as the ISP's dialup facility or its internet gateway, but I consider it the ISP anyway. Sorry for the confusion. I've tried using sendmail on my own machine with about 60% success. Some messages just never make it to the mailhosts, and they back up the mailqueue. Using Pine locally to transport mail to the mailhost is also only partially successful. Now I'm telneting an ISP server and using pine remotely. This is the only guarantee I can actually send this message.

If pine is queuing your mail, you must have the mail server in the pine configuration file set to localhost. This means you're using sendmail on your own machine as the mail transport agent, not the smtp at the isp. When you use sendmail -q to send the queued mail, it will (I think) send it to the default router that's set up when you log in to the isp. That's why it's important to know what ip address the isp is using for itself, which should be the default route. This may be dynamically assigned.

It is different every time I dial in to the ISP. A setup I would like to use is one where PINE sends mail to the SMTP mailhost at the ISP. I know how to set that up, but on occasion pine will reach the "sending mail | 100%" point and then lock up. After a long period of time Pine reports that the SMTP connection is lost. I can still ping the SMTP server at this point, so I don't know why the connection is being lost. Perhaps something is timing out? At any rate, I couldn't resolve this problem so I moved on to using sendmail. After that was problematic, I tried POP. I haven't put alot of effort into POP yet, and in the mean time I'm telneting. It's slow, but at least it works.

You're working too hard! ;-) When you use inetd to control access to a process, all you need to do in that process is to read from stdin and write to stdout. Don't worry about binding to a socket and all that, it's what inetd does for a living... (One nice thing about it is that you can test your server without inetd - just fire it up from the command line and interact with it...) One of the cardinal rules with reading is to make sure you explicitly specify the size of your buffers! Don't let anyone send you a huge input line and overrun your buffers... -Doug Doug Wellington doug@sun1paztcn.wr.usgs.gov System and Network Administrator US Geological Survey, Tucson, AZ Project Office According to proposed Federal guidelines, this message is a "non-record".

I am using user-process PPP. I am attempting to make a simple dialup connection to my ISP. During FTP install, the PPP worked fine. Then I switched ISPs back to my original ISP. Now I updated all the information I could find, including name server info in the resolv.conf file. I try to run PPP. Modem dials, connects beautifully (under term). When I was doing ftp install it KNEW when to switch to packet mode. I had to do it manually. Okay, no big deal. Now it says PPP ON, so I think everything is working. I do a show routes, and I see a localhost route, a route from my gateway to me, and some strange route from the gateway I used for the original install. And any inet app i try to run gives me either "cant resolve domain" or "no route to host" so basically what I need is information on every little setting I could possibly edit and where I can find it. Cause theres a lot of ghosted settings and stuff that I dont know how to change, and that could be causing me probs. Also, what do I put in ppp.linkup? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At work I have a compaq with 20MB of ram. At boot time FreeBSD displays a line with that seems to be the amount of memory freeBSD can see. It only lists 16MB. I think I recall reading somewhere that Compaqs had this problem and that I had to make a new kernell with an option indicating the amount of memory. I followed the instructions on the handbook and FAQ on how to tell freebsd on the kernell the amount of maximun memory. After the computer booted again it was still showing 16. Moreover, after I booted with the new kernell I lost all users and certain system configurations (such as the name of the prompt been the name of the machine).

This will play (at least) 5mbit mpeg-2 streams (with interleaved full AC3 audio for another half mbit) with no hiccups. (the streams are recorded on a raid disk set using the wide scsi on the same card... iozone reports 6.5 or so mbytes read rate (and about 4 write due to the raid-5 parity stripe) for the scsi+raid combo to the server. Samba is slow compared to that but still OK.) The card-buffer overrun problem is famous; with NFS and a 2k buffer card (like WD/SMC 8003E, etc) you get *NO* throughput unless you mount with rsize=wsize=1024. (NFS retries the whole 8k chunk so the second packet will always overrun the card and the whole thing never makes it. This fails independent of MSS/MTU/MRU.) (this is presuming the server is typically fast - both Sun4 and SGI normally are plenty fast enough to do in fbsd machines with WD/SMC8003 cards.) -- Pete From owner-freebsd-questions Thu Aug 22 21:51:31 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA27818 for questions-outgoing; Thu, 22 Aug 1996 21:51:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from news.interworld.net (news.interworld.net [206.124.224.6]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id VAA27811 for ; Thu, 22 Aug 1996 21:51:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from pete@localhost) by news.interworld.net (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA23286; Thu, 22 Aug 1996 21:51:18 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 21:51:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Peter Carah Message-Id: <199608230451.VAA23286@news.interworld.net> To: jfieber@indiana.edu Subject: Re: Anyone have success updating to XF86 3.1.2E ?

AFAIK, you can't install from an EIDE CDROM on a Sound Blaster (you didn't say that your CD is EIDE, but I assume it is). If this is the case, connect your CDROM as a slave to the primary EIDE controller on the motherboard (again, I'm assuming you're using an EIDE disk, since you didn't specify your configuration). This should work (I have a Creative 8x on a DEC Venturis FX and it works fine). Make sure it is a slave, and use the ATAPI installation floppy.

In attempting an FTP - based install, I know it can log in via ftp, from connecting to a local machine. However, no matter how I specify the URL, it refuses to find the distribution. Ok, I've made a mistake - I'll try one, many, all of the distribution sites that are listed and guess what? It has the same problem with them. As a matter of fact, the install program returns an error so quickly, that I doubt it ever tried to connect. As an aside, what is it about ATAPI that makes it *so* hard to install from CD-ROMs based on the standard? If DOS can do it (and Linux, and NetBSD and, well...), why can't we? M. -- "Excitement.

Unfortunately, I then discovered that Xfree (as of the 2.2-SNAP image) doesn't support the 128 bit version - just the lower models. I then poked in to some of the FTP sites, and noticed that ftp.x.org has a release R6.1, and XFree had a 3.12E. I'm curious to know if these are the current versions used in the 2.2-SNAP, and if they are newer, if anyone knows if they support the Lightspeed 128. I tried to get the info out of the Makefile, but it was late last night, and they didn't look the same as many of the other ports, so I gave up and went to bed.

Here at work, we use to use the old Apollo Domain editor (the DM editor) and cried when all the Apollo's were replaced with HPs. We were stuck with a choice between a poor emulation of the DM editor and HPs VUE editor. I brought over nedit to the HPs and have slowly converted everyone. Engineers are using it now on all our UNIX machines - HPs, Suns, FreeBSD PCs, and soon to be SGI. Nedit has a lot of feature, cut & paste (rectangular too :)), search and replace with wildcards, macros, split windows, user preferences, etc. Motif look and feel, similar to XEmacs without all the bloat. Maybe I convert one more, eh? ;-) Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.interWorks.org From owner-freebsd-questions Fri Aug 23 09:17:27 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA06277 for questions-outgoing; Fri, 23 Aug 1996 09:17:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cs.montana.edu (fubar.cs.montana.edu [153.90.192.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA06269 for ; Fri, 23 Aug 1996 09:17:22 -0700 (PDT) Received: by cs.montana.edu; id AA09387; Fri, 23 Aug 1996 10:17:08 -0600 Date: Fri, 23 Aug 1996 10:17:08 -0600 (MDT) From: Justin Ashworth To: Eric Berenguier Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: pop server ?

As has been posted multiple times, SCO is giving away 'personal' copies of SCO OpenServer 5. Free, no-cost copies, other than the cost of getting media ($19). It includes the SCO development system.

I saw your mail id on the Internet. So I am sending you this mail and would highly appreciate your help. I have written a TSR (that runs on MS DOS 6.2) that intercepts the interrupt 1C (timer interrupt). What I am trying to do in this interrupt handler is some file i/o (using fopen, fread and fclose of Microsoft C). At times the system hangs. I thought it was due to some conflict in simultaneous handling of interrupt 21h by the file i/o calls inside my routine and the foreground application. So I tried to do a check for the InDOS flag before proceeding with my interrupt handling routine, but this flag is always 1 when my interrupt routine is invoked (even when there is no front end application). My questions are : 1. Why the InDOS flag is always 1 when my interrupt routine is invoked ? (my routine handles the interrupt 1C) 2. Is there any other way to know if MS DOS is executing a 21h interrput ? Thanks again.

POP mail readers use the POP protocol only to *retrieve* mail from the server. To send mail, they typically open an SMTP session to a fixed mail server somewhere and expect it to be able to forward the message appropriately. For your use, the "mail server" would typically be a UNIX host running sendmail. When you send a mail message from the Win95 machine, it will dump it into the mail queue on the UNIX host, and sendmail will then send it to the proper destination. Wes Peters P.S.

It's probably in the OpenView packages. For generic X11, you might try xedit or aXe - both are simple window-based editors. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Your netmask makes me wonder if the subnet's broadcast address is in use by another machine. What's at .17 now?

Well.... when we did the same conversion (from Apollos to HPs), our Apollo people simply couldn't take it - so they wrote a PAD-like editor. It has been _very_ popular.

Well, my FreeBSD office machine is a Unix host running sendmail, so its name ought to do it. But other such hosts (e.g., stanford's mailhub) don't work either. It may be that there's something wrong with the routing tables, although I can ping and telnet and use netscape without problems. I am very frustrated with all these Win95 dialog boxes at this point.

It is easier to administer since you don't have to worry about IP addresses. Netware supports more hardware than FreeBSD, specially in terms of network cards. In terms of a network NEEDING netware you don't have to use it. Depending on your needs and the size of your Lan you may be just fine just with FreeBSD.

The man pages (ccd and ccdconfig) have failed to help me get it to work. ( I think there is a bit of required knowlege it's assumed I have, that I don't yet posess. Don't you just hate newbies?? :) ) I'm trying to ccdconfig 2 Conner 80M IDE drives to get a feel for how this works. If I wreck anything, nothing's lost. I'm able to partition, label, newfs, and mount these drives individually, if I wan't to, so I'm pretty sure all is OK hardware- wise. I guess what I'm unsure of is the steps required to ccd these two together. I've included the "pseudo-device ccd 4" in my kernel and it shows up on boot-up. I've created a basic /etc/ccd.conf file. If I do a ccdconfig -C -v it says... ioctl (CCDIOCSET): /dev/ccd0c: Device not configured (I also notice this message on boot-up) I created ccd0 (/dev/MAKEDEV ccd0) and it created ccd0a -ccd0h. If I specifically do a MAKEDEV ccd0c it says bad unit for disk in ccd0c If I try to do a ccdconfig ccd0 32 0 /dev/wdc1 /dev/wdc2 it says ioctl (CCDIOCSET): /dev/ccd0c: Inappropriate file type or format. I'm totally lost. Can anyone help?? Thanks a lot!!!!

Locate uses /var/db/locate.database, which is rebuilt from instructions instructions in /etc/weekly usually early Saturday morning. If your machine has never been on at this time, /var/db/locate.database won't exist. Just run /etc/weekly to create or update the database.

I did the same thing and got the same error. That and Xemacs is linked against the Motif library, so if you want to use it you'll have to rebuild it in /usr/ports. What I had to do, since I'm no guru, was go and get my 2.1 CDs and copy the file "/usr/lib/libgcc.so.261.0" from disk 2 to my own /usr/lib, do a "ldconfig -m" and shazam! everything started working again.

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm reading a book titled "The Unix Programming Environment", and have noticed that a few of the commands that the book gives examples for such as cs, pick, what, and where are either not in the basic FBSD installation package or have a different meaning (the book says that what "tells who's logged on and what they are doing", while the man page for what says that it's used to "show what versionf of object modules were used to construct a file."). The book's examples are based upon 7th Edition Unix, but the authors claim that the examples have also been tested out on 4.1BSD unix with minor modifications. Unfortunately, with some of the programs that their examples rely upon missing, it has been difficult to make those minor modifications. :) I have tried looking around in the man pages but to no avail. Is there a package I can install to get these missing programs or find their renamed equivalents?

Since Windows 95 comes with TCP/IP stack, file, and printer > sharing capabilities, why would a network need a Novell Netware server? > Moreover, FreeBSD supports samba, why would a network need a Novell > Netware server? 1) Legacy. This is, IMO, Novell's big market right now, though they may still have the ability to double their stock price in the next while or so... 2) Directory services. Login to the newtork instead of the host is a big win. It's unfortunate for Novell that they harped on this so heavily with their 4.x release, since it damaged their ability to sell the other benefits of their 4.x product over their 3.x product. Big marketing blunder there. 3) Security. If the Internet doesn't run IPX, it will be a difficult thig to hack your way into a Novell Network. For most Windows95 SMB-over-TCP/IP networks, it's pretty trivial: the "security fix" fix one instance of a class of problems on Win95 (though it fixed the real problem on WinNT). Less of an issue after NT displaces 95 (and pigs fly and RAM and disk drives grow on trees. Several years off, at least). 4) Central administration. This is above and beyond just central administration of users (via NDS). A WinNT BrowseMonster ...er BrowseMaster... is still an annoying way to administer multiple servers, especially if one of them goes down. 5) Real TCP/IP. At least the Novell code doesn't violate the RFC's and listen to routing messages when it's not supposed to (the Win95 sniper bug is still alive and kicking, and the Internet shows no sighns of getting over its growing pains). 6) Bang for the buck. A Novell server can service 512 client stations on the same hardware where an NT server starts choking at 128. Part of this is the ability to turn around cached data reads in about 6uS or less. Yes, 6uS. Coding central loops in assembly that can fit in the processor L1 cache does have an effect... None of these are really compelling reasons on networks which aren't running near capacity, and need to trade more efficient use of the hardware off against not being able to put off the upgrade another year or so. > Is there any technical advantages which IPX over TCP/IP? No. Unless you count packetburst, which is a fixed window low latency transfer that could be implemented on TCP/IP without the fixed window (but which has no Microsoft equivalent yet, anyway).

Cause ide is broken and won't allow concurrent operations over two drives on a chain. Which, btw, really sucks, when a cdrom and a fast hd are on the same chain so when the cdrom is taking a long time completing an operation (especially evident when it has a read error), i/o to your hd is completely blocked.

You want people to dial the FreeBSD box so that they can download the PPP software to dial the NT box? There is some BBS software in the ports package. If the only reason they'd dial the FreeBSD box is to download the PPP software, then it probably wouldn't be outrageously difficult to write something from scratch, even. -- -- tIM...HOEk The opinions expressed above are mine, and if my employer shares them, that's his hard luck.

Honestly, though, your best option is probably (nay, likely) to simply pick up a null modem cable, through DOS 5 and the DOS version of Kermit onto the computer and simply use the thing as a dumb terminal to your real computer (which is, of course) running FreeBSD. Setting it up as a dumb terminal is not really that much more complicated than stated above. Just make sure you check the number of pins either end of the cable will need (either nine, or some other number I can't remember). The handbook talks a little about it, too. FreeBSD will not run on a 286. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?

I don't want to mix distributions, so I have been extracting each manually. I would prefer to be able to do it in one hit. Has anyone managed to do a floppy install and what disk layouts did they use?

The maximum size file that you can spool is limited by your printcap entry. See the man page and look for mx. The default is 1000 blocks. That being said, you probably do not need to change this. What you should do instead is use the "-s" option with lpr. This causes lpr to make a symbolic link to the file you are printing instead of copying it to the spooling area. If your program (xv?) wants to write to lpr via a pipe, this probably won't work. Just print to a file, then use "lpr -s" on that file. cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

It's a bit dated though when you get down to minor details. I suspect that the programs you list are presented as examples elsewhere in the book, because I could not find anthing resembling your descriptions/name pairs on several commercial systems. I have not heard of cs, pick appears to be part of MH (a mail system), and what, as far as I know, is part of SCCS (a source code managment system). Don't feel that FreeBSD unique in lacking these commands, because other than what, none of the commercial systems I have access to have them either. Now here are a couple of commands that can do what the "missing commands" you describbed do. "who" or "finger" will tell you who is logged in. "ps" and "w" can tell you who is running what. "type", "which" and "locate" can help you find where a command is located. cheers, Adrian adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!

Now i've got a machine I'd like to run current on. So I figure I'll use 801-SNAP as the base. I've had it running fine and playing with it. Good stuff! Now, lets start tracking the src tree. Read the stuff on sup and start my first sup last night. It takes quite a while, finally finishes. Start make world and it dies somewhere (dont remember). Figure I've munged my /usr/src somewhere along the way, probably got 2 versions of binaries (801 & some from my sup) I figure I'll clean the slate, so I re-ftp the 801-SNAP/src files (ie. ssys.aa, etc). Ok, nuke my previous /usr/src and reinstall 801-SNAP /usr/src. now lets do a make world to get us back to good'ol 801-SNAP. Dies in fetch (ftpLogin wrong # args). Hmmm, whatd'ive done? As you can tell I'm quite new to attempting to track current and a bit confused, could some of you seasoned sup'ers enlighten me on a couple of things? Questions: 1) Sup took forever the first time. Get the whole tree? Is this right? 2) Did I take the best avenue to stepping back to know src by re-ftping the 801-SNAP src distributions and installing them in a freshly rm -rf'd /usr/src? 3) Since I've got a fresh src tree that don't work, where do I go now? 4) Are my partial sup'ed and made src tree binaries a bad thing? I've got some binaries on the system that are not 801-SNAP, I just made them and they may be wrong/bad, no? (I kept my 801 kernel around and am running it with my bastardized binary collection) 5) chicken & egg question: Good or Bad to re-build kernel with newly supped src and boot it before making world?

Uh, no. Instead, copy those packages back to your FreeBSD partition, restoring the filename to what it was previously, then pkg_add that. Sysinstall won't add packages after the system is installed.

GENERIC isn't 'ATAPI-enabled' due to the quality of the code in question. It's very painless to ATAPI-enable it as you found. 99% of the population should build a custom kernel for their system, adding needed devices while removing unneeded ones. Running GENERIC adds quite a bit of bloat to the kernel. 2.1.5 doesn't have an atapi.flp because the default boot.flp is already ATAPI-enabled. > Is the 2.1.5 ATAPI install any different, or is adding 2 lines to the > ATAPI kernel 2 much to ask to put this issue 2 bed? 8-) I think there was some question that the ATAPI code may potentially screw up the IDE disk detection (and the detection of other devices).

You've asked in FreeBSD Support, so you'll get an appropriately biased reply. :) I personally like FreeBSD for: 1) Rock-solid stability. 2) Unified distribution structure. (There is *one* FreeBSD, about 10 Linuxes [Slackware, redhat, etc....]) 3) The Ports & Packages collections. I hate porting software, and these systems make it too easy to just pick something, build, and install it with a minumum of trouble. Hope this helps.

This can't be that hard to setup. Take a look at /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess, and make sure your ~ftp/etc/passwd and ~ftp/etc/group files are set up properly. Also check out 'man 8 ftpd'.

Can I change "i386" to "i486"? No. Leave machine alone. You can delete the CPU lines that don't describe your computer's CPU, though. If you have a 486, you can dump the I386_CPU and I586_CPU lines. That will enable some 486-specific optimizations that may speed things up a tiny bit.

Only if you run config with the -n option to save the compliation directory. The advantage, other than incrementing the #, is that kernel compilations take about half the time to do since many of the support files aren't recompiled. There are many instances where you don't want to do this, though, and can cause odd problems.

There are the beta versions, but 3.1.2S is the most current release. Sounds like you upgraded and neglected to upgrade all of X.

Just use 'mv' to rename them. You can put them in any directory. cd # to go home mv /dos/SOMEPACK.AGE somepackage.tgz pkg_add somepackage.tgz The .tgz extension is the important part.

You can't access your CD from FreeBSD?? So copy them to a temporary dir on a Dos or FreeBSD drive as: filename.tgz cd to the directory that filename.tgz is in and run: pkg_add filename.tgz Heck you can copy them to a dos floppy, mount that floppy (as dos) under FreeBSD and run pkg_add on that floppy and it'll work!

I've installed the X312 libs, bins, docs and man pages. Tried again to install XF86_W32 as my driver...and here have failed. ((I tried to upgrade to version 3.1.2 last May with exactly the same results: nojoy.)) When I boot into xdm my screen in a blur of dark grey `snow'. Trying to cycle into different resolutions gets me nowhere. I've had two thoughts, and maybe someone out there in FBSD-land can offer some ideas. My first thought is that the 3.1.2 W32 driver is broken in soome way compared to the 3.1.1 version. My second thought is that I'm using the *wrong driver*. x86config seems to suggest that I should be using the S3 driver. Since I've been using the W32 driver since last December, this doesn't seem too likely....although maybe I ought to bite the bullet and look at the drivers' code. My video card is a ``Cardex Challenger.'' 32-bit PCI-BUS. It has the Tseng ET4000/W32p with 2MB of VRAM. Another thought is that my present XF86Config file is toooooo far off the real specs for the new driver to work. It did take several days of playing with the V and H sync numbers before it would work. Can anybody clue me in on using xvidtune? Maybe if I get the numbers in /etc/XF86Config set correctly, the new driver will work. Right now, typing xvidtune gives me this error: Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display "localhost:0.0".

Thank you in advance. -- jf From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 24 23:30:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA11960 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 24 Aug 1996 23:30:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtp1.interramp.com (smtp1.interramp.com [38.8.45.2]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA11953 for ; Sat, 24 Aug 1996 23:30:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pp002382.interramp.com by smtp1.interramp.com (8.6.12/SMI-4.1.3-PSI-irsmtp) id CAA26451; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 02:30:31 -0400 Message-Id: <2.2.16.19960825063018.49ef04e2@pop3.interramp.com> X-Sender: pp002382@pop3.interramp.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (16) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Sat, 24 Aug 1996 23:30:18 -0700 To: rlyon@ozemail.com.au From: "John W.

So here goes, and maybe part of this will make it to the docs. Floppy Install, 101 For anyone reading this, if you are installing pre-2.1.5-Release, the instructions in the FAQ work just fine. You need the boot.flp, the root.flp, and the appropriate distributions, and the install program will prompt for what it needs as it needs it. But for those of us who must stand by the floppy, here is the 2.1.5 way: Check the readme file in the floppies directory to make sure you take the correct boot.flp file. There is one called boot4.flp I believe, but I can't remember what it is for. In most cases, you need the boot.flp file. Use good floppy disks (not the thousands of AOL ones you've saved up) and format them yourself even if they come preformatted. May be a waste of time, but I've seen too many messages here to have a bad floppy pop up in the middle of the install. Use the rawrite program to put the boot.flp file onto a floppy disk. Boot up the designated PC with this floppy, and follow the on screen instructions for deciding your install/upgrade method, partition layout, file systems layout, etc. The FAQ covers these areas well enough, so I won't. 1. (Finally) A discussion of the new floppy requirements. For all distributions you are interested in, download the .inf file and the .aa through .?? files. Some cases there is only the .aa file. The new process uses the .inf file to determine that the distribution exists, how many .?? files there are, along with some other pieces of information. Therefore, the first floppy of any distribution must contain the .inf file. 2. The installation process doesn't prompt you for the next distribution set. It simply looks at the floppy in the drive after it has completed the install of the current set. If the next -- and this is important too, but I'll cover it in step 3 -- .inf file isn't on this floppy, the install puts up a message that the other distributions you selected were not found on the media and continues on its merry way. Bad move on the core architects part -- I suggest a fix here?! 3. You can't have just any .inf file at the end of a distribution, you must have the NEXT .inf file as expected by the install program. Which one is next? Who knows! But after painstaking trial and error, there is some order based on the order distributions are presented in the menus, and I'll note it here. 4. So you have two choices, use whichever you think is best. One, know the order, and make sure the .inf file for the next distribution is on the same diskette (but in its proper directory) as the last file of the distribution currently being handled. Second choice is to have all the .inf files, along with the last file, for all distributions you plan on installing sitting on one to two diskettes (depending on how many you choose). This is a little harder since you must know when the installation process is asking for the last file. And when it does, make sure you insert this ".inf" diskette. This is definitely a more painful way of doing the install, but it is what I ended up doing since I did not know the "order" at the time. 5. For example, the first set should be bin. So on the first floppy, in the /bin subdirectory, you would have bin.inf, bin.aa, bin.ab, etc. up to the capacity of the diskette (usually five complete distribution files). When you get to the diskette that will contain the last bin.?? file (bin.cn?), you also include the doc.inf file in the doc subdirectory. You can have just the .inf file on the diskette. You don't need the first (.aa) file if it won't fit. What is important is that the .inf file for the next EXPECTED distribution is on that diskette in its proper subdirectory. I used doc in my example, but you use whichever set is next based on what you selected and the order I present in the next step. 6. Here is the order of the sets. I did not choose to install the source for the games, so I don't have the position of the game set. I may also have other sets missing. But what I noticed is that the order is almost identical to the order in which the sets are presented on the menus. Look at my list, write it down, and as you make your selections, you will see what I mean. Any set you choose that is not on my list, should be easily inserted based on its menu presentation order. 1. bin 2. doc 3. games (binaries) 4. manpages 5. proflibs 6. dict 7. info 8. src/sbase 9. src/sgnu 10. src/setc 11. src/sinclude 12. src/slib 13. src/slibexec 14. src/slkm 15. src/srelease 16. src/sbin 17. src/ssbin 18. src/sshare 19. src/ssys 20. src/subin 21. src/susbin 22. src/smailcf 23. des/des 24. des/krb Well, that's my long winded documentation of the subject. Needs polish, but should get you through your install. Good luck. If any of the core FreeBSD people would like this cleaned up, and/or have suggestions, please let me know. As I said earlier, I'll be happy to document this piece for the FAQ, handbook, etc. John From owner-freebsd-questions Sat Aug 24 23:55:28 1996 Return-Path: owner-questions Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id XAA14698 for questions-outgoing; Sat, 24 Aug 1996 23:55:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from who.cdrom.com (who.cdrom.com [204.216.27.3]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id XAA14693 for ; Sat, 24 Aug 1996 23:55:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net (server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net [203.108.7.40]) by who.cdrom.com (8.7.5/8.6.11) with ESMTP id XAA23633 for ; Sat, 24 Aug 1996 23:55:25 -0700 (PDT) Received: from oznet16.ozemail.com.au (oznet16.ozemail.com.au [203.2.192.109]) by server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net (8.7.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id QAA22738; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 16:53:58 +1000 (EST) Received: from oznet02.ozemail.com.au (oznet02.ozemail.com.au [203.2.192.124]) by oznet16.ozemail.com.au (8.7.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id QAA11696; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 16:53:57 +1000 (EST) Received: from Default (slmel7p29.ozemail.com.au [203.22.156.117]) by oznet02.ozemail.com.au (8.7.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id QAA20782; Sun, 25 Aug 1996 16:53:54 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <199608250653.QAA20782@oznet02.ozemail.com.au> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Richard Lyon" To: rlyon@ozemail.com.au, "John W.

If one has to install different distributions on different machines, all permutations have to be placed on the last floppy of each distribution.

Alternatively, just put every inf file on the last floppy of each distribution (Gatesian electroencephalography). Regards Richard ....
