Hi s2plot from astronomy.swin.edu.au/s2plot seems like quite an interesting program and has linux, darwin and cygwin downloads. Would anyone from freebsd be interested in adding it to ports?

Is there an easy way to install ports on slow machine using nfs after portupgrade on fast machine? For one port I guess you could do a nfs mount of faster machine ports after doing make on ithe port and just do install on slower machine? Check out pkg_create. You could use that to create packacges from installed ports on the fast maschine, and then installing those packages on the slower machine(s). Using some creative scripting, this could be done pretty transparently. Hi Thank's for reply! pkg_create makes almost instant package which I can then just do pkg_add -r to retrieve on slower machine. Can also make package-recursive (from chris) which puts packages in /usr/ports/packages. Maybe when I do portupgrade -a on fast machine I should do portupgrade -ap instead to also build a package.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 110, Issue 24
Hi Thank's for the response. It will not even start boot. comes back F2 Freebsd F5 drive 1 If I hit it again returns original F1 ? F2 Freebsd F5 drive 1 I tried using fdisk to write member again fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/da0 but it wouldn't do anything - said no geom. Believe this was because I used whole disk. But in slot 1 is the freebsd type 165. I think it is a bios problem. (I did change /mnt/etc to give mounts of new disk daos1a, da0s1d) Just got an external 200 G usb drive that I will try the same thing. I now have da0 maxtor 194481 MB da1 hp digital drive 976 MB Thank's Damon On Tuesday 06 September 2005 07:48 am, you wrote: I've installed FreeBSD to a 1gb usb drive, but getting it to boot is really the hard part. The new dells at my work boot off the USB drive just fine, but the Gateways at my school (that did have a boot from usb option) seem to have a problem with it. The Gateway BIOS must not have drivers, or something, Im not sure, but the Gateways would boot off my USB harddrive that had freebsd on it. If your getting to the boot loader though, it should work. Are you booting from usb, or your hd? And what kind of errors is it giving you? I had some problems with it changing the device name, but that was when i was going from one computer to another. Some computers have different usb devices/drivers and so it changes the device name, I don't know the exact details. It's been a while since I did this. When the boot loader trys to load the kernel, and then it trys to mount the filesystem (or the umm, something) it trys to look in da0s1, but it might change to something else. When you copied / and /usr over to your usb drive, it also copied settings and stuff (not realy sure). It might be trying to load the filesystem from da0s1 (mian hd) instead of da1s2 or something wierd like that. Id try and actually install FreeBSD to your USB drive using a bootable FreeBSD cd. I was surprised when it detected the USB drive. You of course don't get the most updated version, but it will probably work a lot better. Interestingly, Windows 2k will see a usb drive also, but of course it fails like it always does. Hope this helps, or at least points you in the right direction. For a better explanation of the booting process read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot.html I'm sure that I messed it all up in the way I explained it.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 110, Issue 24
Hi So sorry! so dumb. I didn't put usb ports ahead of hard drive in boot order. Both usb direct drive and usb external hard drive work. But boot loading is VERY slow for both. Thank's so much! Damon On Tuesday 06 September 2005 07:48 am, you wrote: I've installed FreeBSD to a 1gb usb drive, but getting it to boot is really the hard part. The new dells at my work boot off the USB drive just fine, but the Gateways at my school (that did have a boot from usb option) seem to have a problem with it. The Gateway BIOS must not have drivers, or something, Im not sure, but the Gateways would boot off my USB harddrive that had freebsd on it. If your getting to the boot loader though, it should work. Are you booting from usb, or your hd? And what kind of errors is it giving you? I had some problems with it changing the device name, but that was when i was going from one computer to another. Some computers have different usb devices/drivers and so it changes the device name, I don't know the exact details. It's been a while since I did this. When the boot loader trys to load the kernel, and then it trys to mount the filesystem (or the umm, something) it trys to look in da0s1, but it might change to something else. When you copied / and /usr over to your usb drive, it also copied settings and stuff (not realy sure). It might be trying to load the filesystem from da0s1 (mian hd) instead of da1s2 or something wierd like that. Id try and actually install FreeBSD to your USB drive using a bootable FreeBSD cd. I was surprised when it detected the USB drive. You of course don't get the most updated version, but it will probably work a lot better.
