libXThrStub.so.6 and FAQ/handbook
I did a fresh install of 4.0-2308-current. I have a Compaq Presario 5170 128 megs of ram and 10gig HD. Installation went smoothly, except for these 2 problems. 1). The libXThrStub.so.6 file (elf) is missing. It is there for aout 2). I don't have the FAQ or handbook files! I have gone back into /stand/sysinstall 3 times and watched it download. There is a difference when I type "df", and I have tried a "locate handbook" or "locate faq", "locate FAQ", but they don't show anywhere. The /usr/share/doc directory is there and has other directories, but not these 2. I even looked on / for them. Has anybody else had this problem? Mike __ OS of CHOICE?

September snapshots?
I am looking for the latest snapshot, but under ftp://current.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386, the last listed snapshot is for 19990827. Have the snapshots for later dates (Sept) been moved?

Still can't install current via ftp!
I just downloaded the latest floppies from current (19990827) and tried installing current on a different machine that did not have a previous version of FreeBSD on it. As before (search for vty3 and Alt-F3), once I went through the novice installation and got to the part to connect to FreeBSD, I could not get to the vt (ALT-F3) to start ppp. This is for a new installation. Should I present this problem to the hackers maillist? I really think this is a problem that should be fixed by somebody. BTW- I did a new install of 3.2 and it worked great. It appears something happened between 3.2 and 4.0. Perhaps I will have to install 3.2 and then upgrade to 4.0?? Thanks again, Michael A.

Re: vty3 and 4.0 snap 080799
Brian (and others). You are correct about the installation. I had a 3.0-R slice, and somehow corrupted it. I decided I would go to 4.0 and follow current. That is when the problem started. However: very early this morning, I got 3.2 (19990812) floppies and did a ftp installation with those. The "ppp" worked great on ALT-F3! I now have a base installation and kernel source for compiling. I won't do a full install of 3.2 because I want to follow current. If I can provide any other information about what is not working on 4.0, let me know. I will do whatever to get this working :) Mike At 03:45 PM 08/13/1999 +0100, Brian Somers wrote: It sounds like ppp is simply exiting immediately.

The only vty that is available/active is vty1 for debugging. Every other F-key gets the "beep". HTH in solving my problem fwiw dept.- I have been using FreeBSD since 2.21-R Errum, if this is a re-install, I may see what the problem is. I changed sysinstall to run ``ppp install'' as sysinstall now writes an ``install'' label into ppp.conf. Might it be the case that a reinstall doesn't add the ``install'' label ? -- Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Awfulhak.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !

vty3 problem solved, but....
I started a fresh installation with todays floppies. During the installation, I monitored vty1. What I found out is that ifconfig doesn't recognize/config either my modem or cuaa0(ppp0). After clicking "YES" at the "Do you want to try DHCP configuration of the interface" screen, I switched to ALT-F2. It showed: "ifconfig: interface ppp0 does not exist ppp0: not found exiting" However, during boot-up, I hit a key to bring up the commands, and typed "pnpscan". I then typed "autoboot". At the next screen, I used the "CLI" mode to configure my sound card and modem. For the modem, I used "pnp 2 0 enable os irq04 port0 0x3f8". What else can I do?

vty3 and 4.0 snap 080799
I just downloaded the latest snap (080799) and tried installing it. When getting to the media section and configuring ppp for a ftp install, I try going to vty3 (alt-f3). However, that vty is not available. I have tried this 3 times now. Is this broken? I did a search for this but have found nothing.
