Re: Compile Kernel Question
- Lonnie Cumberland : Greetings All, Actually I did read over that information in the handbook but it only seems to go into detail on mounting a CDROM and then installing the sources. It does not tell me how, or where to download the sources over the net or if there is some pkg way to get the sources. That is why I have sent these messages to the forum for additional help. You need to investigate CVSup for updating core and ports as well. ngw -- checking for life_signs in -lKenny... no Oh my god, make (1) killed Kenny !

Compile Kernel Question
Greetings All, I am new to FreeBSD but have a lot of Linux experience so I think that the migration should not be too difficult. The reason that I am investigating FreeBSD is because I hear that it performs GREAT under heavy loads and many larger ISP are using it without fail. In my experience, Linux, although a great OS, seems to bog down under heavy loading. I could be wrong though and it could have just been to misconfiguration on my part. Well, I have a base installation of FreeBSD 4.11 which is needed for a particular project but now need to compile the kernel to support QUOTA's. My question is how do I install the sources over the web so that I can compile the kernel to support quotas? The FreeBSD docs tell a little, but mostly assume that you have the sources already on the system to compile which I do not have and need to download them. If some one could please give me a little guidance then I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: Compile Kernel Question
Lonnie, run /stand/sysinstall as root choose Configure-Distributions-src- choose what sources to install and sysinstall will ask you what media would you like to use for installation. You can choose the installation over the net from various servers. And generally, you have to read chapters number 20 and number 14.14 in the handbook to keep your sources up to date.

Thanks Grigory, That did the trick I am starting to get a feel for the layout of the FreeBSD system and it looks to ber really clean. Thanks again, Lonnie Grigory O.

Cool! What version of FreeBSD did you install, if I may ask? Once you get the hang of rebuilding everything from the sources, it may be a worthwhile things to pursue updating to the latest security fix version of your release or even to the STABLE version. By then you'll know how to build everything, so all it takes is to learn about CVSup and updating the sources over a network connection :) - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Compile Kernel Question
For a particular project as small web hosting company called PeoplesQuest Web Hosting Services we are going to be using a control panel H-Sphere that needs FreeBSD 4.11 because of some particular Java dependency so I have had that version loaded onto the server so that we can migrate over from Linux. If all goes well, then in the future we will update to the latest stable versions of FreeBSD but I am going to be carefully watching how it performs in comparison to various Linux versions although I am told that FreeBSD is very stable and performs extremely well, and better in many cases that Linux, under heavy loads. I would like to know more about the benchmarks on this so we will be trying to see what happens.

That definitely makes sense. If 4.11 is what you need and it works fine for your project, then it's absolutely fine to keep using that version.

To be realistic, FreeBSD doesn't *always* axceed the performance of a Linux system. You can certainly find particular workloads for which Linux outperforms FreeBSD. The reverse is also true, of course ;-) Speaking for myself, after almost 7 years of working with FreeBSD, it's not just the raw performance that keeps me away from Linux if I can help it. Other factors count too. Not to turn this into a huge advocacy thread, let me just say that the reasons why someone might prefer FreeBSD over Linux have been discussed about a billion times on this and other mailing lists of FreeBSD.
