Hi,
I've recently installed FreeBSD release 6.2 successfully except that the
following things that i need importantly dont work. How should i do
these?
1. I am using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). I am running FreeBSD on
Vmware and
i set the network connection as "Bridged" on Vmware. I configured my
Ethernet device with the correct IP, Gateway, Netmask, DNS but i dont
know
how to start my internet on FreeBSD. All i do to connect to the
internet on
Windows is give my username and password. I also read the PPPoE
chapter on
the FreeBSD manual but of no use. How should i start PPoE on FreeBSD?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pppoe.html, but better look for "mpd"
2. I need Vim. I dont want to use Vi. I searched in my CD-1 and CD-2.
But i
could not find the package "vim" inside it. Since i am not able to
connect
to the internet is there any other way to install Vim ?
well if you do not have the source or the packages .. you have to find a
way to download it :)
3. How should i configure FreeBSD to start in X mode directly.
Currently i
have to do startx to start X on my machine.
take a look at xdm, kdm and gdm :)
4. I want to make "bash" as the default shell instead of "csh". Where is
that configured?
man vipw
5. Where are the kernel sources located? I need it because i want to do
kernel network programming? Is having kernel sources sufficient or
there are
other dependencies also?
src/sys are kernel sources. Where depends on your installation (normally
/usr/src/sys/)
6. How do developers usually keep their kernel sources in sync with
the main
Central Kernel source? Do we use CVS or Subversion for this?
if you are using freebsd 6.2 - man csup
But best place to start is reading http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/
and once you are familiar with FreeBSD you can read "developers handbook".
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay.
