You DON'T want to do what you think you want to do. :-) Here is what you DO want to do: uplink/uplinks from providers | | ------------------------------ | FreeBSD system | | | | nic1 nic2 nic3 | ------------------------------ | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------ | Big, fat 100BaseT switch | | | | cust1 cust2 cust3 cust4 cust5 cust6 ... | ------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | Hopefully, you can see what's going on here with the ASCII art. Let's say, for example, that your default allocation to customers is a /29. A possible example might be: FreeBSD System nic1 cust1 subnet 192.168.1.0/29 cust2 subnet 192.168.1.8/29 cust3 subnet 192.168.1.16/29 nic2 cust4 subnet 192.168.1.24/19 cust5 subnet 192.168.1.32/29 .... Now, you don't need to use nic1, nic2, nic3 on the FreeBSD system, this is purely dependent on what the average bandwidth you are feeding, you might want to just use a single nic to the switch. Since you are saying 40-60Mbts total, then a single 100BaseT nic in the FreeBSD system should do the trick. But, the point is that you want all the customers coming into the switch, and you want to alias multiple subnets on the ethernet interface/interfaces from the FreeBSD system. Your thinking 1 physical interface on the FreeBSD system per subnet, (because obviously you have 1 subnet per customer) You need to unlearn and start thinking of multiple virtual interfaces on each physical interface. Let the switch provide the multiple physical interfaces, that is what it's designed for. If you get a good switch you can even program MAC filters in it that will block traffic from customer port to customer port, if your afraid one of your customers is going to be a smartass and run a sniffer. If you start thinking of how you might setup redundancy you will see how quickly that stacking large numbers of physical interfaces in the FreeBSD system is going to make a spare router (in my opinion, a necessity in this setup) very expensive to implement.

Not a one. The only time I did a clean reinstall was when I lost my master HD. I had things broken up too much and reconfigured my entire disk structure at the same time. When I upgraded to 4.0-release, I uzi'ed both feet. Two of us did the same dumb thing and it wasn't too long until Warner had added an additional comment about the kernel config. I don't know if the change was related but you wouldn't make the same mistake that we did. Even that bungled upgrade didn't lose anything but I did a binary upgrade from floppies. This wasn't a negative direction like you need to go. Most files you can back up. I always have a copy of .../distfiles on several computers. I back up /etc before I get carried away with things. I hardly ever use my base /usr for work. I have /usr[1-4] for that purpose. My Apache www/data is on /usr2/data. I got tired of updating and having to redo things. I come back in and relink.

Secondly: "build DRI kernel modules", are the dri-kernel modules only build or are they installed as well? FreeBSD sure is at great OS... but boy, the documentation are often incomplete, hard to get by or even wrong and contradictory at times.

Hi, Excuse me for interferring, but the issue is interesting to me too. I'v installed the programs named above in that order from the CDROM #2 with /stand/sysinstall. I have FreeBSD 4.1. GS seems to start alright. But I can't "run" SETUP! Command not found! Isn't that supposed to be a perl-script or something? There isn't much of help in the readmes. They say SETUP have to be run from the apsfilter installation directory. Which one is that? I've tried to run it from the directory where the SETUP is, /usr/local/apsfilter/ Anybody know?

How on earth does this work? There's really only two things you need to do: setup the 2nd mail server, and then update your DNS Zone. First, you need to setup the secondary mail server, so that it will relay mails to the primary. With sendmail, this means puting the following line into /etc/mail/mailertable: your-domain.com smtp:[primary.mail.server.com] This tells it to send all "@your-domain.com" mails to the primary server (The [] brackets mean that the mail should be directly sent to the primary mail server, ignoring any DNS MX records.) The secondary mail server should also be setup to RELAY your-domain.com. Before you update your DNS records, you can test your secondary server by sending mail from there or telneting directly to port 25 and seeing if it will relay mail to your primary server. If that works, you just have to update your DNS zone with a second MX entry, like: your-domain.com. MX 10 primary.mail.server.com. your-domain.com. MX 20 secondary.mail.server.com. The "10" and "20" are preferences -- the lower the number, the more prefered, i.e. other mail servers will try the primary first. -Paul.

Sure, FreeBSD can do it, no problem. ...but the OS wouldn't be your problem. Depending on your needs, I would be much more concerned about the hardware. Just about anything you buy new today would be fine, but an old 75MHz pentuim with 32MB RAM and a big list of firewall rules doing full BGP peering probably wouldn't cut the mustard. -Paul.

RC.conf stuff: Gateway_enabled=YES Default_Router="0.0.0.0" Do I need to set this value?

Nope. It doesn't have anything really to do with telnet. If a port is open, like smtp (25), then you can connect to it. By "telneting", I just meant connect to the port, but you don't have to use telnet, you could use /usr/ports/net/netcat for example. -Paul.

Yes, that is true. Not found in the Handbook Documentation at freebsd.org though... I did find that tip at a different web site. Also, there seems to be some issues about adding just options NETGRAPH to the kernel, versus adding 4 netgraph statements, which is being clarified as well.

I don't know if cdrecord with If burncd can handle DVD discs than no I don't think cdrecord is better. Do DVD-ATAPI burners exist? I actually find burncd's simple commands easier to use than cdrecord. For what I like to do on my burner burncd is all I need. The main problem may be the front-ends that everyone likes on linux won't work with burncd on FBSD. Most if not all of the GUI CD tools in linux use cdrecord. This may be why everyone thinks they need it. So let's write a great GUI for burncd that does everything everyone wants.

In particular, apsfilter is the easiest filter to set up, because the SETUP script does all the work, but the filter proper has a few glitches that can cause things to fail when they shouldn't. In particular, extraneous error messages when printing postscript files on postscript printers, and failing to print ascii text files on some printers. If you run into one of those, magicfilter is fairly simple to install - especially if you've already run the apsfilter SETUP - and doesn't have those problems. > 1. Install gs (ghostscript) from the ports collection The apsfilter port will install this for you - even if you don't need it :-(. If you need something other than the default install - A4 paper, for instance - you should install ghostscript yourself. > 2. Install apsfilter > 3.

For lpd, just run /usr/sbin/lpd as root to start the line printer daemon. That gets you to this state: > Now you can print most files by a simple lpr filename, without > having to worry if they are plain text, PostScript, HTML etc. After you're satisified that the lpd is working - plus anything else that's caused you to modify /etc/rc.conf - you might want to reboot the system just to verify that your changes to rc.conf didn't break the boot sequence. If it did, you'll be dealing with it while the changes are fresh in your mind, not whenever you happen to reboot the system next. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

BLASPHEMY! Man I hope you are not serious. I would take a PowerPC chip over Intel compatible rubbish any day. 128 bit vector procession on the G4 rocks.... Apple has new machines at 733Mhz and it comes with a Gigbit Ethernet card. Not that I can afford the switch to use it but if you are into clustering applications and stuff this system is ideal. I never cared much for the Mac GUI/Environment and found that running linux was the best way to get maximum value out of a Mac. I have heard that FBSD is has PowerPC support on the way. If this is true I'd like to get me an IBM RS/6000 and a Mac to try it out.

The problem is, those front ends turn out to be a hindrance. Every front end I tried was lousier than a simple tcsh prompt (actually, I used bash back then), so I wound up in a shell every time I wanted to burn a disc. Burncd is actually nicer than cdrecord from the prompt, since I don't need to remember the SCSI emulation bus/device info (sometimes the device was 0,0,0, sometimes 0,1,0, or some other choice).

Both are packet based protocols with almost exactly the same commands. I worked with Jens Axboe a bit trying to figure out some strange behavior or the ATAPI drivers. The stuff that didn't work in raw ATAPI the way it should in any linux kernel after 2.2.14 suddenly worked when SCSI emulation was enabled. But I still have to say that since burncd works so well I have no inclination to write such a layer for FBSD.

Sorry I missed the original. The answer is that you probably don't want to add this to any system that's running X. > I seem to understand that the NO_X option is used for removing X > support from those ported programs which can function without X. More accurately, if a port can be built without X support, turning on NO_X should build the version without X support. For instance, you might want ghostscript sans X on a server that's providing printer support. On the other hand, if you do have X, probably want X support. Some programs won't run on a system without the X libraries if built without NO_X, which is really why it exists. > I have always installed X -- most of my software, actually -- via > the ports mechanism.

The only difference between installing via ports and installing via packages is that ports are built in your environment, including whatever you have in /etc/make.conf. Packages are built in a "standard" environment, presumably with no /etc/make.conf. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

The original talk was about Mac OS X, which I'd never run. It's like a BSD that has had its guts rearrange and partially removed, with an interface that insults your intelligence... I like to call it "WannaBSD". I also hear FFS support is buggy, which means you have to put up with that POS filesystem HFS+. I'd run a PowerPC system in a heartbeat if there was a good FreeBSD port (maybe NetBSD is worth a try). I'd especially run one if they'd stop with the damn artsy case designs, and just have a plain looking box. About the vector processing in the G4... I don't believe linux PPC ports support that. I think those ports are pretty rudimentary, so everything that's great about the processor is pretty much useless. Just hope the NetBSD team did better than the linux people... -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 8: 3:10 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtprelay3.adelphia.net (smtprelay3.adelphia.net [64.8.25.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0CAE237B423 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 08:03:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from nturki@adelphia.net) Received: from adelphia.net ([24.50.186.158]) by smtprelay3.adelphia.net (Netscape Messaging Server 4.15) with ESMTP id GC78H403.2MQ for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 11:03:04 -0400 Message-ID: <3AE2F356.43695D08@adelphia.net> Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 11:05:58 -0400 From: Nader Turki X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: wierd!

From the rest of your comments, this sounds like the standard HTTP header "From", which supposedly contains the users email address, and was used by knowledgeable web applications programmers to set the default for email addresses on forms that needed it. Unfortunately, less scrupulous uses were found for it, so NetScape simply turned it off. Other browsers let you enable it if you want, but few people bother using it for anything that actually helps the user, so there's little point in enabling it. It wouldn't surprise me if MS left it on by default. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

According to the rc.conf man page, you should set kern_securelevel_enable to enable it, and kern_securelevel to the value it should be set to. If that's what you did, possibly something else set the secure level elsewhere. You might try grepping for securelevel in /etc/rc* to see if you can find it. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

That's not an issue for SCSI, if i believe what i read. I have no idea what Linux does, but what cdrecord needs isn't SCSI "emulation", it's a way to talk directly to the device that uses the same syscalls as it currently uses to talk to SCSI devices. It's no more an emulation than FreeBSD's Linux ABI support is a linux emulation. FreeBSD already has one such connection in it - the one that cdrecord used to talk to USB devices. Looking through that code, it just does some validity checking, converts the command format, then ships the command off to the USB device in question. Pretty much exactly the same things that the so-called "Linux emulation" does. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

There are no devices attached to the motherboard's IDE connectors, and they've been disabled in the BIOS. The machine is a dual-proc Pentium Pro 200 w/ 128 MB RAM, running 4.3-RELEASE WITHOUT SMP enabled (right now). I've confirmed that SMP does not affect this test. I've created a 2 GB /usr filesystem to test, and have enabled softupdates: /dev/ad4s1e on /usr (ufs, local, softupdates) My performance with this drive is disappointing relative to the SCSI-1 devices I used to have in this machine. (The old disks were Seagate 4.3 GB SCSIs running at 10MHz, 10MB/sec transfer.) using dd to test performance,with the new drive, I get dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/foo bs=16384 count=16384 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 268435456 bytes transferred in 34.839972 secs (7704813 bytes/sec) dd of=/dev/null if=/usr/foo bs=16384 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 268435456 bytes transferred in 10.272343 secs (26131863 bytes/sec) systat -iostat 1 shows ad4's tps around 55-60 for the write to /usr/foo, and around 200-206 for the read from /usr/foo. sysctl reports the following: hw.ata.ata_dma: 1 hw.ata.wc: 0 hw.ata.tags: 0 hw.ata.atapi_dma: 0 hw.atamodes: ---,---,dma,---,---,--- Now, the Maxtors ship with a performance-limiting config: write verify is on for the first 10 power cycles, and the acoustic management is on as well. I've disabled both of these features and have also run the ATA66-ATA100 update. Is this the expected performance for this controller/drive on this system? Frankly, I was expecting better write performance -- this is about the same as my old SCSI disks (although the reads look much better). Any ideas would be much appreciated. FYI, during the write test, 'top' in another window took 6 seconds to come up, and there were significant (6-7 second) delays between "login" and "password" on the other vtys. Thanks, Seth.

Eventually, I want to connect these computers together. I am running FreeBSD 4.3RC on my PC. I would like to be able to dialup my ISP and receive/send email - all from the command line. I have successfully configured the dialup connection. I have successfully configured fetchmail to receive emails; and can use mutt to read them. I'm having difficulty sending emails, however. My PC is configured as terrek.datawok.com. I registered the name datawok.com some time ago, and Earthlink redirects all email going to datawok.com to my Earthlink account. I made the following changes to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: DSvipmail.earthlink.net DMdatawok.com I then restarted sendmail. When I try to send mail, Earthlink rejects the mail; indicating that the sender domain, 'terrek.datawok.com', needs to exist. Masquerading does not seem to be working. I then reconfigured my network so that my host/domain name is just datawok.com; and restarted sendmail. I can now send email. The problem is that when I network the three computers at home, I'm want to give each computer full names (host.domain.com). Does anyone have any solutions/advice.

It seems to me that a dd test is not very reliable. For one thing, if you make the block size 1, and increase the count accordingly, the time to write the file will skyrocket. Try these two commands to see what I mean: time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1 count=1474000 and time dd if=/dev/zero of=test count=1 bs=1474000 For me, the first one takes 25 seconds to write. The second one takes 0.0903 seconds as reported by dd. Of course, another thing to note is that you are using a multitasking system, and other things are going on in the background. This is why you run "time". Time will report the total elapsed real-world time (which is what dd uses), but it will also decompose this into system and user actual computing time. System sime is the time the kernel spends doing this task, user time is time the userland program spends doing this task. To see the difference, look at the output from my first timed dd above: 1474000+0 records in 1474000+0 records out 1474000 bytes transferred in 25.685091 secs (57387 bytes/sec) 1.341u 12.919s 0:25.82 55.1% 82+200k 2+18io 4pf+0w The first three lines are dd output, the last is the time output (time is a userland command, but is also built into tcsh. This is the builtin time you are seeing). The "1.341u" means dd spent 1.341 seconds on this task. "12.919s" means the kernel spend twelve seconds on this task. In total, the system only spent 13 seconds writing this file, but you had to wait 25 because of background things. The 13 seconds is the actual time you should use to compute I/O throughput. But, as I said before, block size and count has a HUGE effect... For me, writing one giant block instead of 1474000 little ones saved me 24 seconds, with the final task making me wait less than a second. For a real disk I/O benchmark, try bonnie. It's in the ports tree. NOTE: When I ran these dd tests, I was building Mozilla in the background. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 9:30:53 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from introsearch.com (host213-123-28-135.btinternet.com [213.123.28.135]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 3734437B440 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 09:30:17 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from admin@introsearch.com) From: "Introsearch.Com" To: Subject: Click on to meet someone you Click with Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 17:30:14 +0100 Reply-To: "Introsearch.Com" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: <20010422163017.3734437B440@hub.freebsd.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Click on to meet someone you Click with

My point here was to try to document what I perceived as sluggish disk performance -- not necessarily do raw benchmarking. You're absolutely right, though, about block sizes making a difference. However, if you compare the dd results with the dd results when run on the old SCSI disks (don't have the exact numbers handy, but they were around 7-8 MB/sec for both read and write), you see evidence that there may be a problem. ("Problem", of course, being defined as "unexpected behavior".)

Is this a sane conclusion to > reach given the evidence? During the dd write, your system is being used less than 25% of the time. This is absolutely horrible. Recall that, for my small-block write, my CPU was being used >50% of the time, and I had Mozilla building in the background. This means my CPU usage was much higher. This must be a CPU bottleneck. Make sure every daemon you can live without for five minutes (while you test throughput) is dead. Something has got to be using that extra CPU time. I agree about bonnie/bonnie++, the output is garbled. I was able to clean it up above by deleting one space on each output line, so that the columns don't spill off the ledge. If the writers of the software had done this at first, it would be a lot easier to read. Something is definitely wrong. On the I/O writes where you get 6000-7000 K/sec, I get 9000-13000 K/sec. And mine is a UDMA-4 (UltraATA/66) controller and drive pair. On the Block I/O, where you get 25000 K/sec, I get 86000. I have a 733MHz PIII, 256K L2 cache. The partitions I tested with bonnie were 7 and 10G FFS with soft updates. The block and fragment size are the default, 8K block and 1K fragment. Each partition has 16 cylinders per group. I have 320M PC-100 SDRAM in the system. The spin rate of my disk is 7200 RPM. The problem could be a processor issue, a PCI bus issue, a RAM issue, or any number of things. I really have no idea why your performance is so bad. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Apr 22 10: 8:43 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from superconductor.rush.net (superconductor.rush.net [208.9.155.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ABDB437B423 for ; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 10:08:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from aberrant@superconductor.rush.net) Received: (from aberrant@localhost) by superconductor.rush.net (8.11.2/8.11.2) id f3MH8ck05648; Sun, 22 Apr 2001 13:08:38 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 13:08:38 -0400 From: Seth To: Andrew Hesford Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ATA100 read/write perofrmance disparity Message-ID: <20010422130838.B29944@superconductor.rush.net> References: <20010422114836.A6234@superconductor.rush.net> <20010422110843.A99388@cec.wustl.edu> <20010422124619.A29944@superconductor.rush.net> <20010422120120.A26375@cec.wustl.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0us In-Reply-To: <20010422120120.A26375@cec.wustl.edu>; from ajh3@chmod.ath.cx on Sun, Apr 22, 2001 at 12:01:20PM -0500 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sun, Apr 22, 2001 at 12:01:20PM -0500, Andrew Hesford wrote: > During the dd write, your system is being used less than 25% of the > time.

There's nothing else eating up CPU time here. Honestly. I do notice that dd spends a lot of time in the "wdrain" state (when it's not in CPU), according to top(1). I also see brief "bioread" states. I don't know what these states really mean. > Something is definitely wrong. On the I/O writes where you get 6000-7000 > K/sec, I get 9000-13000 K/sec.

This certainly isn't encouraging, although your CPU is much more powerful (and therefore is probably less limiting)..

No broken nails and cut fingers. It just beats me why the PC engineers can't come up with something more functional than we have in the PC. I have been using both for over decade and nothing changed. As for G4, the chipset and the whole mobo is not up to the task in the Mac, a lot of waste. Linux people are doing better job supporting older PPCs, like 601. A 7200/90 I have is supported by 4-5 Linuxen and no BSD. And you are paid when you take this machine as a donation here. RAM is rather expensive, otherwise I'd run Mac OS 8.6 in a heartbeat on them. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Ooh, me, me! Upon final post-assembly factory test, fusees F100-F1FF will be blown to indicate the approved speed. Fuse F200 will then be blown to indicate that this has been accomplished. When powered up, the chip will test that F200 and F201 are both blown. If so, it proceeds at the FSB and memory speed indicated in F202-F20F. However, if F200 is blown, and F201 is intact, a phasal confirmation of the lunar sequance will be checked, and the result burned into F202-F20F, with F201 immediately blown to confirm byzantinization. /me giggles.

Over all the processors they sell, they need to cover their average cost, which includs the fixed & sunk costs of development, plus the marginal cost of production.

How many people remember the 2732 and 2764 EPROM's? (the 32 and 64 refer to Kbits, not bytes). Intel had both projects going at once, but (unexpectedly) the 64 team got *ahead* of the 32 team. They dropped the 32 project, and never made an actual 32 chip. But they still sold a 2732--it was a 2764 in which one side was bad, and they'd permanently wired it to use the good sise. hawk, old enough to remember when microsoft wrote good software . . .

I am having a lot of problems installing it. I bought the Power Pak yesterday with 10 CDs and a book. But, I cannot get past installation. Is there a tech support phone number to call? I need step by step help with this. I have a HP Pavilion 6635 with a Celeron 533, a SMC EZ 10/1000 1211TX network card that the install won't recognize, a HP M70 monitor that install won't recognize. I cannot get the network card to work or the X configuration for the monitor to work. I am stuck. I have tried to install this at least 11 times and even reinstalled Win98SE and tried to install again. I have made BIOS changes. I think I tried every thing. This is a very common computer and the hardware is mainstream so I don't know if the hardware is the problem or not. I hope not. Any ideas? I cannot get to step one. Thanks. Jim.

I have been using the Makefile listed on www.freebsddiary.org with consistent success up until now. Compiling on the fast machine and installing on the slow machines has worked very well. I tried to re-build the kernel for one of them and make depend failed giving me compile errors complaining about unterminated strings, and missing white spaces in pre-processor #define statements. I looked at the source code and there was a recurring problem caused by /* nested /* comments */ */. I updated the source tree with CVSup with no errors and tried a build world, and got the same sort of thing again: atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_timer.c /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_log.c:48: `#include' expects "FILENAME" or /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:857: unterminated string or character constant /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:772: possible real start of unterminated constant /usr/src/usr.sbin/atm/atmarpd/atmarp_subr.c:535: unterminated `#if' conditional mkdep: compile failed I looked at the source again, and lines of code that should be comments are beginning with * instead of /* that sort of thing. The code I looked at had a three-year-old copyright. I could go and fix all of these errors by hand as they occur, and try again, but I suspect that there is some sort of error in some sort of script that compresses and uncompresses source code. Any idea what I should try next. I will be grateful for any sugguestions.

There isn't any free telephone help. You really don't need it. The problem is figuring out how to ask the right question. People spend their personal time trying to help each other here on FreeBSD-questions. You need to install the system source. That was one of the options during the install. Sooner or later, you will want to build a new kernel. If your system will boot, you don't have to reinstall. There are somethings that you do have to do to get networking and x-windows running. When you type "dmesg", do you see your network card being recognized. If you do, there are some things that you have to do. There is a series of tutorials at http://www.freebsd.org/. The purpose is getting you off dead zero. It doesn't take much motion to do significant things. You can download some such as the handbood as .pdf files with Win 98. You can mount your Win98 drive in FreeBSD and use the pdf file from FreeBSD. This is handy until you figure out how to dial out and etc. X-windows is a different problem. What version of x-windows did you install? The way you configure XFree86-3.3.6 is different than version 4.0.x. I use 3.3.6 and use XF86Setup to do the configuration. I have 3 or 4 different video cards and they all use the SVGA x-server. FreeBSD doesn't depend on x-windows but x sure makes using FreeBSD a lot easier. X-windows is an application and not part of FreeBSD. The choice of X-server and video card can be seen at http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html.

What could be easier than that? Certainly not reading the mail - I tried that and gave up. I was hoping for a short list of what's going on in some public place, but I guess you've answered that question. Thanks though. Steve K. U.F.O. - "For the feeler gauge in you."
