Re: Anjuta and libtools problem
Christian Schüler wrote: This problem may be related to the problem reported in this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-June/049088.html When trying to Autogen a new project, the configure script bails with the message: ... ./ltconfig: Can't open ./ltconfig: No such file or directory configure: error: libtool configure failed I then created an empty ./ltconfig file inside the Project directory. This fixed the Autogen process, but the build is nevertheless broken. When I build a wizard generated test project, I get the following message: ../libtool: Can't open ../libtool: No such file or directory I do believe him that there is no ../libtool. So I tried to change ./ltconfig to contain a line emitting where I have libtool installed, like so #!/bin/sh echo /usr/local/bin and another version #!/bin/sh echo /usr/local/bin/libtool15 however, to no avail. I also tried symlinking libtool to different versions like libtool13 and libtool15, and also copying a libtool executable to ../ relative to the project directory, nothing works. Now I am clueless. Has anyone running Anjuta-1.2.2 on FreeBSD? Might be worth noting that I run xFce, not the complete Gnome package. -chris Greetings! I'm the one that posted the original inquiry regarding my libtool problems, and I think you're experiencing a different kind of problem. It seems to me that your Anjuta does not properly create your project. Why this is, I do not know. Did you install Anjuta from ports, or did you download the sources off of its website? If the latter is true, it may be that whatever generates the scripts (or maybe even the scripts themselves) have hardcoded linuxisms in them. After creating a fresh project (any error messages notwithstanding), what's in the project directory? Could you give an ls of it? And where do you place your project directories? ~/Projects is the default, if I recall correctly. I'm thinking that since the files obviously aren't created it might be a permission problem. Just exhausting the possibilities here. :-) I did find the solution to my initial problem, by the way. I posted a follow-up in reply to myself, but I guess you've already read that. I also have the same problem that you say you found the solution to but i dont know how to pass the cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel argument to the configure script. I get the error that you mentioned in your script when i try to create a project. So at that stage how come there exists a configure script? And also you said autogen.sh creates the configure script. Isn't that file (autogen.sh) also created only then, when i create the project? I dont know much (about anything) about the auto* stuff so that's why my questions could be really stupid. I would also want to configure everything from the gui if possible to make it as painless as possible if you know how.

Re: FreeBSD beginner (NetBSD advanced)
I have used a single 256MB mfs on FreeBSD for months without any problem. I was not doing heavy IO on it, it was used in a /tmp fashion and most of the time was swapped out, going down to 8MB resident size at times. softdeps in NetBSD is very buggy. putting very high load like deleting huge tree or unpacking it easily triggers DDB with ffs_something panic :( I have the feeling that NetBSD without softdeps performs much better than FreeBSD.

need help with UTF-8 !
Hi, I need some help with UTF-8 on FreeBSD 5.2.1. My primary goal is to use filenames with none ASCII-characters like german umlauts or kyrillic-characters. I have installed the utf8local port, set the environment variable LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 in ~/.login for each user (including root) and use the sysconsolefont iso15-8x16. This works fine for german umlauts when using the console only. But I get problems when using somthing like samba or rox-filer. I think they use libiconv, because using iconve to encode none-ASCII-characters from ISO_8859-15 to UTF-8 on the console I get the same glibberish as using samba (with a samba client like xsmbrows or windows) or konqueror or rox-filer... I don't know if it is problem with the font I use (I did not find a UTF-8 consolefont), the utf8local port or with libiconv. I have googled the web, searched the mailinglists, looked in to the Handbook and did not find a solution. I would realy appreciate your help. thx Sebastian -- If you share pain there is less of it.

Re: FreeBSD beginner (NetBSD advanced)
does FreeBSD deallocate pages that are unused. NetBSD does not. if you create 100MB file on mfs and delete it, VM size of mfs is still over 100MB. while it will get swapped out it's a kind of nonsense IMHO FreeBSD tries to swap out idle pages. That means that you'll have more physical memory available for programs, cacheing, etc. So it's nice:) I am not by any means FreeBSD kernel expert. Not at all expert!

Tomcat Goes Its Own Way
Hi, I am having a weird problem with Tomcat: If I go into the jsp examples and modify the .jspx files, my changes have no effect on how they are executed! I can even delete them, it doesn't matter - they run just as before. But deleting or modifying .html files in the same directory has the expected effected. I have tried restarting Tomcat, and I 've even rebooted my machine - it doesn't seem to make any difference. How is this happening? Does Tomcat keep redundant copies of the .jspx files somewhere? - Jason ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Anjuta and libtools problem
Chuck: thanks, I did cvsup the ports collection, then the make command builds Anjuta 1.2.2_1. I just did a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 from FTP a week ago, so I never dreamt of anything being out of date form this install. Why do I have to cvsup the ports collection? Anyway, Anjuta builds, but the libtools problem remains the same :-( I cannot create a default project. I'm now trying a portupgrade -a, and it is taking forever ...

Do you have an ltconfig file in your project directories? -chris Christian Schüler wrote: Why don't you build it from ports and save yourself a lot of problems? (1) because this doesn't build 1.2.2, it starts building 1.0.2 when I type make install. This strongly suggests that your ports tree is out-of-date.

Reboots after OR AL,1 MOV CR0, EAX on some computers.
Hi. I need some help. I think you'll be interested. I develop a little OS that will boot from floppy. It's still under construction and has about five thousand lines of assembly source now. I use Bochs emulator to debug it and after that I test it on my real computer. I have all working correctly on my compter. But I started to test it around other machines recently and encountered a problem I can't solve. But I'm sure there are lot of minds in FreeBSD world who know how to help me. I can't figure out what happens because on my computer I get all things well, but I can't conduct test of this kind on other computers. Here is the problem. My OS's boot loader (after loading the main module) switches CPU to very limited protected mode and jumps to module's entry point. After it, main module reloads all tables like GDT etc to make a good free environment for initialization and further running. Shortly: ON SOME COMPUTERS (MAYBE CPUS) I GET REBOOTING JUST ON 'JMP' INSTRUCTION AFTER PE BIT IS ENABLED. I've got no reboots on all i386, i486, i586 computers that I tryed to boot from. I have a Pentium III Celeron (Coppermine) 900MHz - no reboots. Also tested on some Pentium II 400MHz - no reboots. But on other side Pentium IV (don't remember speed) gave me a reboot. And other computer I was not able to see processor model (maybe PentiumIV !?) gave me a reboot too. Using endless loop stop points I figured out that reboot is before any instruction pointed by 'protected' label and that reboot happens after setting the PE bit. Here's very diminished boot sector code that reflects the error. It must be compiled with nasm as a binary so that result will be a floppy disk image file. Then it must be written to a floppy from scratch (from boot sector). Created floppy is expected to be bootable disk. Normal: When you boot from the floppy you get something like black screen and computer hangs up (but not reboots) Abnormal: When you boot from the floppy you get a screen splash and then back to reboot POST procedure. Here goes the code. PLEASE, even if you're not interested in this 'puzzle':( MAKE AND TEST IT ON YOUR COMPUTER. EMAIL ME RESULTS AND COMPUTER MODEL. It was HARD work to make this OS. I believe that some people understand me and will give me a clue.

Re: Anjuta and libtools problem
Radu MOLNAR wrote: snip I also have the same problem that you say you found the solution to but i dont know how to pass the cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel argument to the configure script. I get the error that you mentioned in your script when i try to create a project. So at that stage how come there exists a configure script? And also you said autogen.sh creates the configure script. Isn't that file (autogen.sh) also created only then, when i create the project? I dont know much (about anything) about the auto* stuff so that's why my questions could be really stupid. I would also want to configure everything from the gui if possible to make it as painless as possible if you know how. Thanks Radu -Henrik W Lund Greetings! I don't know where the autogen.sh script comes from, but it is this script that Anjuta executes in order to pull in stuff like libtool, ltconfig, aclocal and the like. This script then runs autoconf (having first copied it into the project directory), generating the familiar ./configure. In order to not have the configure script fail with a libtool error regarding the --no-verify flag, you need to pass it `--target=cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel' (I don't know why the --target argument to ./configure is passed as the host variable to ltconfig. It's just one of those quirks, I guess). The most painless way of doing this entirely via the gui, I found to be the following procedure: Make new project - watch autogen.sh fail once. Go to the menu bar and look for a menu entry that says Configure args (I think it's in the Project menu. If not, try the Build menu. It's been a while since I used Anjuta). In the entry box that pops up, enter `--target=cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel' and press ok. To find out what cpu-manufacturer-os-kernel that's right for you, check out the log from the initial run of ./configure. It's on a line going something like Determining host type This is what's weird... It does find it out, it just never puts it in a variable where ltconfig can find it! This doesn't really have anything to do with Anjuta, it's the whole autoconf process. Like I said, Anjuta doesn't even need to be running (as it's just an abstraction of good old-fashioned command line work). Hope this helps! -Henrik W Lund ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4.x Installation failure - White Stripes on initial boot.
Computer: SpaceWalker-Pentium III.800mHz, 256MB, 20GB hd running FreeBSD 4.8 as the only operating system. Goal: Non graphical work stattion - possible Samba server. After an minimal installation the system freezes shortly after passing the boot manager and the monitor shows several long, white vertical stripes that resemble bar codes. The system is unresponsive and has to be forced to cold boot. I was trying to install 4.8 or 4.9 but multiple reloads all produce the same result. Before it was a Win2000 box I had FreeBSD 4.4 on it briefly but I don't have those disks anymore. It's as if BSD has some major problem with the hardware, but everything 'installs' without complaint. SuSe Linux was just loaded and it seems to be happy. I do have output from its dmesg in hopes that there is some detailed info about the hardware there. Any ideas about where to start?

FreeBSD Hosting
Hi, I'm sure this question comes up, but I am looking at switching hosting companies and am considering going with a dedicated server or co-locating some servers somewhere. Regardless of which way I go, I want to make sure the hosting facility has technicians who have experience with FreeBSD, in especially with jails. If I go with a co-location set-up, I'd like to find somewhere that will manage security patches, OS updates, etc - whether it is through the hosting facility or through a 3rd party consultant. We are a small firm and do not have the time to effectively manage all aspects of the system, yet we are more than capable of handling the day-to-day basics of the system (installing software, supporting web, db, and e-mail, etc). I'd appreciate any recommendations anyone has on hosting facilities / consultants that would be able to effectively handle these issues for us.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === 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). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. 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. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

I only did things like selecting desktop mat, registering my root password, setting myself as a user, etc. (install didn't do it in the end). Wait ... did you use the KDE program KUser to deal with users? (It's also in the KDE control center under User Account.) I used that once, and it deleted the root user. I didn't know this was the cause until I did some searching. Turns out some other people have had similar problems, and the recommendation is: don't use KUser for user management in FreeBSD. It breaks it. The good news is there is an easy fix (just do a search on freebsd+kuser), but the bad news is it only fixes the problems it causes but doesn't prevent KUser from messing up the user info again. This is probably less helpful to you now that you're back up and running, but if you used KUser (or even if not), then definitely remember this. This has been an issue for some time, though supposedly it's fixed in later KDE versions after 3.1.4. Can't remember off the top of my head if I were using a 3.1.4 or earlier KDE version at the time (it was a new install without any port upgrades), but I'm not going near it again until I have a good look at it, and even then, it's easier for me to use FreeBSD's user management. - jt ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Anjuta and libtools problem

I just did a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 from FTP a week ago, so I never dreamt of anything being out of date form this install. Why do I have to cvsup the ports collection? The ports collection changes over time. If you don't update it, you will install software which is out-of-date. Normally, that's OK, but you're the one who wanted to get the lastest version of anjuta, yes? With particular relevance to your situation, the committers refrain from making major changes to the ports tree during the last stages of creating a release to ensure stability, which is known as the ports freeze. So the ports tree is already a little outdated on any release image, even if you use it the day the ISO becomes available. In other words, your 5.2.1 CD has a ports tree that's probably five months old by now Anyway, Anjuta builds, but the libtools problem remains the same :-( I cannot create a default project. This, I know nothing about. :-) libtool struck me as a bad idea from the start, and I haven't seen many signs that it is any less subject to backwards-incompatible changes than the vendor supplied compiler toolchains that libtool was supposed to work around in some better platform-independent fashion.

Re: need help with UTF-8 !
Sebastian Kutsch wrote: My primary goal is to use filenames with none ASCII-characters like german umlauts or kyrillic-characters. You might want to use a Mac and it's HFS+ filesystem instead: that platform handles foreign-language filenames significantly better than I've seen any Unix using UFS do. I have installed the utf8local port, set the environment variable LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 in ~/.login for each user (including root) and use the sysconsolefont iso15-8x16. This works fine for german umlauts when using the console only. But I get problems when using somthing like samba or rox-filer. I think they use libiconv, because using iconve to encode none-ASCII-characters from ISO_8859-15 to UTF-8 on the console I get the same glibberish as using samba (with a samba client like xsmbrows or windows) or konqueror or rox-filer... Dunno. How does Samba handle the mapping for Windows-style case-insensitive filenames when using foreign language codesets? I suspect there are going to be some pretty wacky issues there. The notion that there are capital letters which don't have a lowercase letter has broken an entire generation of tr scripts, for example. :-) -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks. -Original Message- From: Jerry McAllister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 1:38 PM To: Bawan Cc: 'Steve Bertrand'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: problem while installing FreeBSD It's the same problem when I remove CD. Does it make sense: I am installing on the machine which already have Windows 2003 server, and file system NTFS. I thought FreeBSD may take care of this file system or it may allow me to do partition while installing. Thanks. Oh. Did you use something to resize the disk slices before you started the install?FreeBSD will only install [correctly] into empty space on the disk or wipe out everything and install over the top of the whole thing.It will not resize the NTFS slice for you. If you want to install FreeBSD on the machine as a dual-boot system and keep the preinstalled Win2k stuff running, then you need to shrink the NTFS down to make room for FreeBSD. A disk can have up to 4 primary slices (which MS calls 'partitions', by the way) that are numbered 1..4. Generally if you buy a machine and it has something MS preinstalled on it, that MS stuff takes all of the disk and makes it one slice, leaving 3 logically to work with, but no room for them. If the system was from some vendor like Dell, they might have also put a slice with their own diagnostics on the machine, thus using two slices and leaving only 2 slices that can be created. The diagnostic slice usually is very small and MS takes the rest of the disk. Now, if you want to add FreeBSD and still keep the MS (and possibly the diagnostic) slice[s] you need to shrink the MS slice to make room to create another slice, using one of the remaining slice numbers. (The diagnostic slice would be to small to bother with and should just be left alone) If you need to shrink the NTFS slice, then you need something like Partition Magic which is put out by Power Quest to do that before you start with the FreeBSD installation. If it was a FAT or FAT32 slice, there are some free utilities that can be used, but the last I knew, they would not safely handle NTFS. Partition Magic seems to be the most readily available one that can handle shrinking NTFS. It is not free, but is pretty cheap. You can usually find it at such places as Best Buy and Circuit City in the USA and by some online stores. The price was about $69 US. When you get it, - take the CD and make the two floppies according to the instructions. Forget trying to use it by installing it. - Then boot from the floppies. - Look around until you are familiar and clear what you already have on disk. - Shrink the NTFS slice from the top - eg don't try to make room before it, make it at the end of the NTFS slice. - Have Partition Magic complete its pending operations - just quit and say yes to its questions about completing them. - Boot up again from the floppies. - Create a new primary slice out of the new empty space and make it an unspecified (unknown) type (or maybe FAT32 might also be OK). but don't make it any kind of extended slice or other MS sort of thing. - Again make it complete pending operations. - At this time you should be able to install FreeBSD in the newly created slice. When you do, make sure that is what you select and not the 'use the whole disk' option. It will be slice 2 if there is only MS already on the disk and slice 3 if there is both a diagnostic slice and an MS slice. If you also have Linux or something else there as well, it might be slice 4. If there are already 4 slices being used on the disk, you can't do it without getting rid of something first. - During the part in the FreeBSD install where you choose the slice and create it, first you should might want to tell it to delete the new slice and then create it again - it will use only the empty space. You shouldn't have to do this I don't think, but I have had trouble in the past if I just tried to accept the slice as it was created by Partition Magic without having FreeBSD do it too. Then, make sure you tell it to make the slice bootable by selecting that slice and choosing that option. After all this, then you go on to make UNIX partitions within that slice

rc script fails to start on boot
I've written a very simple rc script, using the new format, to control a
process. The script works fine from the commandline.
(start|stop|restart|rcvar|status|etc all work fine.) But the script fails
to start up the process on reboot.
I've googled til I'm blue in the face, but I can't figure out what is wrong
with the script. I'm sure it's something simple that I've overlooked, so
I'm hoping putting more eyes on the problem will solve it quickly.
Here's the script, without any of the comments:

Re: problem while installing FreeBSD
You will actually need volume magic instead of partition magic I believe. Unless the product has changed partition magic will not work with the server OS's from Microsoft. I used it with Win 2000 and XP-pro, but not win 2003. I had no problems with those two. But, I had to make the PM boot floppies as it tells in the PM instructions. I made those under Win 2K and they worked fine for both and to look at another machine delievered with no OS on it.

Well, I am having trouble visualizing what you are doing. It doesn't sound like you used anything else to resize the DOS/NTFS slice (with something like Partition Magic - there are other commercial utilities, but I don't know of a free utility that properly handles NTFS) before attempting the FreeBSD install. If that is true, then nothing will work. The only thing you have to do in the configure kernel section is make sure it has the devices you need and that none of them conflict with their interrupts and addressing. If you only have PCI devices then you can skip kernel config. I don't know why it would immediately reboot. It should back up a screen and you choose the next thing. jerry -Original Message- From: Jerry McAllister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 1:38 PM To: Bawan Cc: 'Steve Bertrand'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: problem while installing FreeBSD It's the same problem when I remove CD.

X doesn't come up in any intelligible form (either a garbled screen or nothing at all). Can anyone point me to where I might find information on getting this to work?

Have you added extractor_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf? The newer rcng stuff you're using will need that. Yes, I have. Sorry - I should have included that information when I posted the question.

adsl bittorrent speeds troubleshooting
hi guys, Im a newbie with this, im having trouble with my download speeds with my adsl modem, and i just wanted to elimanate that the problem isn't my computers configuration. This is my first time with adsl so im not 100% that the configuration is correct. I have reinstalled 5.1-release.(i haven't changed any of the configuration) The adsl modem is a billion 5100. the modem is configured with the following: mode as Bridge. encapsulation to RFC 1483. Multiplex to LLC. VPI 8 VCI 35 IP address to 0.0.0.0 Network Address Translation to None. (ie. ive switched the routing options off, so i can have it purely as a modem) rc.conf -- has the following entries: gateway_enable=yes kern_securelevel_enable=no moused_enable=YES sendmail_enable=none sshd_enable=Yes usbd_enable=yes #networking network_interfaces=fxp0 dc0 lp0 tun0 ifconfig_fxp0=inet 10.0.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.5.255 # PPPoE for dsl ppp_enable=YES ppp_mode=ddial ppp_profile=curl sysctl.conf --- net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 ppp.conf - default: set device PPPoE:dc0:curl set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command set speed sync set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set ctsrts off enable lqr set timeout 0 enable dns add default HISADDR set redial 0 0 curl: set authname my_username set authkey my_password im running the default kernel, i haven't recompiled it yet with any new/additional options. packages installed cvsup-without-gui expat gettext gmake isc=dhcp3-server libiconv libtool lynx-ssl py23-Bittorrent-core python Im getting decent speeds with http downloads(90kbps), but when i run the bittorrent client i average speeds of 30-40 BYTES. its enough to make me cry. Is there anything i should be looking at or doing or should configure? i run bittorrent /usr/local/bin/btdownloadcurses.py torrent_filename. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: problem while installing FreeBSD
Jerry McAllister wrote: Is that a new one on the market? I haven't seen that one before. No its not new, just not popular. Partition Magic has been the only one readily available off the shelf in this area. Others have to be mail-ordered. It handled NTFS fine for me, though that was for Win2k. If it is NTFS and it is from the boot floppies, I don't see why being win2k3 would matter, but I avoid Microsloth stuff as much as possible so don't know any of the details there. The acronis one installs in windows and lets you configure how you want you want to resize, etc in windows, then reboots to do its job. I initially tried partition magic, but i couldn't get it to install; on 2k3. However I never tried boot floppies. -Aaron Myles Landwehr (Oops originally forgot to send back questions@) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
