csh tcsh history missing after reboot FBSD_8
Aloha, Terminal history gone. I cannot get any recent version of FreeBSD 8.* to keep the csh or tcsh history across a reboot in root or usr. It stays after exit and a new login however. This happens on several machines that previously ran FreeBSD 7* with no issues. One runs AMD64 and one i386 versions.I can load Manolis Kiagias Desk top version on them and it works fine as do other 7.* versions. I suspect it has to do with PXE ? or something changed in the later versions of 8 Current BETA 1 and 2 since I have 2 boxes running early versions of 8 CURRENT where everything works fine and the history remains in tact following a reboot. What can I do to get the history to remain in memory across a reboot? Changing the capicity of set history to greater than 100 does not affect it.

If you're open to suggestions, there are two typical camps on this. first one being a majority.

That gives basic functions. Add anti-spam (spamassassin is common), and anti-virus (clamav). 2) Install Courier suite, in which the same developers have a MTA, POP3/IMAP, webmail suite. Add Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus and your kit is complete. For the first time, I was able to install an email subsystem that eliminates all spam without an anti-spam software app. Based on the blacklists for known spammers, and a blacklist for accidental spammers, we're curbing most if not all other spam mails from being accepted by the MTA. The first blacklist are blocked by the firewall, second blacklist is checked at each incoming connection and the MTA will send notice to the remote connection (in the event it's a real person sending mail from a spamming host), on how to clear themselves. There isn't any AV suite to speak of, but if we're killing all susceptable spams, the viruses are from the same bunch so we're killing two birds with one stone. Soon, I'll revisit Courier and see if my same mail setup is able to accomplish the same goal, and I know the first blacklist will happen, it's the 2nd I'm not so sure about. Getting a toaster-application is nice, speedy setup. but you work with it's limitations or drawbacks. Building your own gives more flexibility, and depending on setup, it'll be no more than a toaster-application -- or a whole lot more. Ask us questions, there's lots of posts online.

SanDisk FreeBSD 7.2 p1 install
Aloha, Thanks for the help from the list on installing FreeBSD 7.2 on a Sandisk USB Flash drive. I was able to install the basic FreeBSD files and it rebooted. I used the 7.2 that Manolis created. However there were errors with trying to load the install for xorg. This new xorg is the same version that I have not been able to get to work on my test box either with a regular HDD. That said everything else seems to be there as expected. Thanks for that p1 version for speeding up a default install. I have the test box trying to load an xorg from the main server to correct this issue for me. I will report on if that cures the problem. On the download of 7.2 p1 it said CD-DVD iso. but I think the file is too big for a CD. The only errors were about xorg and associated libs. Can anyone enlighten me on this?.

FreeBSD 7.2 o/s on a flash stick

I want to boot from it on a mini lap top ( no CD ) and use it like the hd inside. I see plenty of how-to's on loading Flash sticks for installing on other boxes and using a 2 slice flash to load FreeBSD onto other duplicate boxes again. All I need is to have a FreeBSD o/s on the stick so I can use it instead of the OS on the existing laptop. I'm sure I saw on this list where somebody did this successfully but I cant find it.

Help with Mini HP 1000
Aloha Gurus, I run FreeBSD servers and desktops and now I have an HP Mini 1000 netbook with Ubuntu OS. I know some of you have worked with Linux. There are little or no manuals or on HP site instructions. I even called HP support and I knew more than they did. Gary Klein on our FreeBSD list gave me some pointers and I have setup the /etc/network/interfaces : The manual connection works OK for my ATM circuit wired network, now I want to set a second network config for my LAN wireless. Any body on Luau had experience with a wired network link. I want to set it up manually so I don't lose the wired settings for when I am on the ATM circuit. Using the helper apps on the Netbook is not an option as it doesnt seem to play nice with more than one config. I am trying to set up the wireless so I can use either it or the wired link, obviously not both. With out losing either configuration. Also I want to know if it can be setup to work in a Starbucks configuration with DHCP again with out losing the existing configs. Note: Using the autoconfig helper destroys everything existing if you use it. I am used to command like setups for networks not the GUI point and click. Any help appreciated.

Actually, even if the install were moved to a DVD, the ordered install I proposed would still improve the situation. When the packages are haphazardly ordered on the disc, the CD/DVD reader is forced to perform a large number of seeks that dramatically reduces data throughput. When they are read in order, read rates should be much better. They might not be as haphazard as you suggest. ISTR once reading that the CDs were arranged with the most popular packages on the first CD so that you would only need to download disk 2 (and 3) if you wanted some of the less common packages. With your suggested layout it's quite likely that a package which most of the others depend on would be right down at the bottom of the list with the result that you'd invariably need to download all 3 CD images. I think the best way to avoid the need for frequent CD switching would be for sysinstall to sort the list of selected packages into CD order before installing them. I imagine this would require some changes to pkg_add to prevent it from installing dependencies and I expect the possible benefits would not be considered to be sufficient to justify the effort. Another way to avoid switching CDs is to select an FTP server for installing packages. This also avoids downloading bits you don't need or want. I think the OP mentioned having a difficult or slow internet connection as being part of the reason for the question/comment. Although I enjoy having a 100MB line to my office into a 10GB backbone, still not all people are that fortunate and I don't even have a good line at home where I am still stuck with dialup (so I drag my machine in to the office for installs). jerry There is another discussion: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?1220762797.29265.43.camel which would address the disk swapping by removing all the packages from disc1 and providing a DVD of packages that could be used after installation.

Now I do find it hard to believe there is no way around this- I found a driver for FBSD4.5-6, is there one for 6.2 or higher? Or will this one work? Anyone know how to install it? The driver is only a c and a h file- Makefile is an empty file, and the readme tells me to rebuild the kernel after removing rl and re in the conf. Then I build the driver, and kldload it. Any idea why I'd have to rebuild the kernel? Cheers guys I've seen this driver too (I've investigated for a friend who bought a similar motherboard that otherwise works with 7). The readme describes two methods of installation but the first one simply does not apply (there is no modules directory in the download). I have not tried the second method (looks reasonable though). Removing the rl and re from the kernel will remove the built-in support (it could conflict with the new driver) and create a module for the new driver. Note that you are also asked to replace the files in the FreeBSD src directories. In fact it is better to build as a module - building it into the kernel may well leave you with an unbootable kernel if it is not compatible. As I said, I have not done this (my friend will be running Linux on this box) but as more and more recent mobos seem to use this NIC - and I may be buying one- if you are willing to give it a try, I will be interested in the results. Well I just tried it- I put this out there for some feedback mainly- the kernel rebuild is to remove the old rl and re drivers completely, and the build for the driver is for a module. Unfortunately the result is a failure: compatibility issues or some sort (argument warnings, not enough args, invalid variables and functions). My question is will I find something to work for 7? If not, will it work on 6.2 or 6.3 (it only says 6 in the readme's)? I hope realtek releases a driver for 7. I would not want to go back to 6.X for this. I have a 6.3 server, and can give it a try - as far as compiling the module, not actually using it, I don't have the NIC. I will post the results later today. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have replaced 8111c.

How can I de-install this port with out causing problems to other programs? I cant find it in the handbook how to's. Im I missing something? Thanks... by the way you can use linux-flash7 instead and if you are using the native FreeBSD firefox and not linux-firefox you have to install and use nspluginwrapper or else it will not work, your second alternative is gnash which works natively with firefox. To use nspluginwrapper you would have to run this after the install. nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so remember for the linux plugins to embed on the native firefox they need some kind of wrapper. Flashplugin9 will not work with native firefox or linux-firefox and I think it's because the linux emulator uses an old version of linux so we have to wait until it changes to a more current version. Aloha Eduardo, If I am running linux-seamonkey port is the concept the same to get it to work? Which wrapper? FYI: I have followed the list questions on this issue. So I tried first to use flashplugin7 and some websites want 9 or they wont work. The sites say you have to use 9.

FreeBSD 6.1 boot loader missing
I installed FreeBSD 6.1 on 2 different HD's 3.5 GB. When the reboot is supposed to happen the Boot loader doesnot come up. Is there a way to fix this from a single user prompt or any other way? I have never had this happen to FreeBSD and I have been installing it on many boxes since version 3.4. This box is for a firewall on a small office lan with only a minimal FreeBSD 6.1 installed to run the firewall. It is an HP box Vectra 486/66. I have looked at several how to's in my FreeBSD reference books, but most say put a dos partition on the drive as maybe the bios need to see the parameters more clearly. Any Ideas besides that? I do have a box that cant run above FreeBSD 4.11 as a print server in an installation. But FreeBSD 5* would not install on it at all. This installs but won't boot.

Solution to Zip drive failed to install.
Solution to failed ZIP drive install The BIOs setting was the fault. I cleared it by disabling the BIOs internal motherboard settings and installing a printer card that I set to run at IRQ 7 - 0278 . This brought up the zip drive with no problem. Then I removed the card and reset the internal motherboard back to IRQ 7 and 0378. This brought up the zip drive with no problem. I did set also the BIOs to EPP. My original problem. I have a FreeBSD 4.4 box that works fine with Zip drives. I have another 4.4 that I can't get to configure the /zip drive. I am now building another box using 4.9 and can't get the zip drive to work on it either. snd module installs and works fine BTW on all three boxes. The error messages I get are /dev/da0s4 Device not configured. and trying to unload the kernel module to reload it gives the same message. I am doing this vpo install from old notes and I can't figure out what's causing the configuration failure. I also tried entering /etc/fstab parameters same as the other box that works. /dev/da0s4 /zip msdos rw,noauto 0 0 Suggestions appreciated or point me clearer to a How To. I looked on the FreeBSD.org and that section is what I follow. Thanks. -- Aloha! Al Plant - Webmaster http://hawaiidakine.com Providing FAST DSL Service for $28.00 /mo. Member Small Business Hawaii.

FreeBSD zip drive install
Configuring a zip drive. I have a FreeBSD 4.4 box that works fine with Zip drives. I have another 4.4 that I can't get to configure the /zip drive. I am now building the box using 4.9 and can't get the zip drive to work on it either. snd module installs and works fine BTW on all three boxes. The error messages I get are /dev/da0s4 Device not configured. and trying to unload the kernel module to reload it gives the same message. da0* shows up under /dev when you cd /dev Is there another way to assure that the detection is being made? I see an error under dmesg now: vpo0 IOMEGA drive Parallel to SCSI is detected on ppbus0 vpo0 EPP mode (seems OK.) BUT: vpo0: VPO error/time out (5) shows just before the last line of the dmesg file. Any idea what I should be looking for? I am doing this vpo install from old notes and I can't figure out what's causing the configuration failure. I also tried entering /etc/fstab parameters same as the other box that works. /dev/da0s4 /zip msdos rw,noauto 0 0 This IS the problem. The 3 da0 entries that show up on the 4.4 box dmesg that works do not show up on the other 2 boxes. da0 at vpo0 bus0 target6 lun0 da0 : (iomega zip) da0 : 96mb Any of you FreeBSD guys know how to cure this?
