Ports tree and source tree would really pinch the hard disk space (5 GB). Would you actually boot the IBM Thinkpad by network, keep source and ports trees on a newer computer's hard drive, do the building on the newer computer, and install by NFS? I've thought of doing that, have no intention to upgrade FreeBSD 8.2 to 9.0 on old computer, where FreeBSD slice is 12 GB and I'd have to rebuild all ports , and in all likelihood bog down. On part 2, do you mean lynx or links? Lynx is text-mode but can show images on a separate screen: I did that with DR-DOS 7.03 long ago and more recently FreeDOS. Links can be built with graphics, there is even a DOS port, but a far cry from Firefox (try Midori?) which have no DOS ports. I think there is also w3m? Building the kernel is nowhere near as time-consuming as buildworld. On my older computer, building a custom kernel took about 25 minutes for NetBSD, 75 minutes for FreeBSD 8.2, and 130 minutes for Gentoo Linux, and the Gentoo Linux kernel proved nonbootable.

If that isn't a major concern -- no problem. If the machine is low on RAM, there should at least be sufficient swap space. Ports tree and source tree would really pinch the hard disk space (5 GB). Using them via NFS (when needed) or as read-only source from a CD could be possible. However, I'd suggest using the NFS approach during installation time. On the described hardware, the usage paradigm should be: INSTALL ONCE, THEN KEEP USING. If updates are required, using an external compiler would be the best choice. In case you're only using precompiled packages (installs via pkg_add -r), you don't need the ports tree at all. For dealing with the system (from /usr/src), if it has to be present on disk, /usr/obj could be used via NFS on some scratch disk. There are many possibilities to get the job done. They all require some time, but it _is_ possible. On part 2, do you mean lynx or links? I think it was links that also had a GUI port. There may be other lightweight browsers (like dillo) that one could consider using. Of course none of them will utilize Flash. :-) Links can be built with graphics, there is even a DOS port, but a far cry from Firefox (try Midori?) which have no DOS ports. I think there is also w3m? I know w3m is a very nice text mode browser, I can't say if it has graphics support. Building the kernel is nowhere near as time-consuming as buildworld. True, but if you update kernel and world, both have to be processes. Otherwise, you could stay on the installed version level (e. g. 9.0) and only tweak GENERIC into something that is more efficient. But in that case, sources should not be altered. On my older computer, building a custom kernel took about 25 minutes for NetBSD, 75 minutes for FreeBSD 8.2, and 130 minutes for Gentoo Linux, and the Gentoo Linux kernel proved nonbootable. That's normal. :-) On the last part, time required to download an ISO would depend on type of connection more than CPU speed. Sure, no big CPU load. I just wanted to illustrate that this old system could do things that some modern PCs fail to do: Just imagine users complaining about skipping audio when they move windows across the screen... :-) And I still have the machine I described.

Check on http://www.thinkwiki.org if the ethernet connection is supported, also the graphic card (if you need a Windowmanager). Soundcard can be an issue too. Try to get some more RAM for it. On internet auctions you find them for a few bucks, check on the thinkwiki if the type fits in. From 256MB on it works well, good is 512. The slow processor doesnt matter much if you have enough RAM. Since the harddisk is not very large, you may want to take a look to NetBSD (sorry FreeBSD-gurus). NetBSD is targeted at minimal or exotic computers, you can easily install the precompiled packages without a portstree. I use it for all my Thinkpads (Thinkpad 600, T23 and X31).

I speak from experience with both Linux and FreeBSD, through 8.2 on old computer. NetBSD too (5.1_STABLE). On this old computer, GNOME 3 live CDs and USB failed to boot and get to GUI: didn't work at all. When I first responded on this thread, I didn't think of FreeDOS (www.freedos.org), but then you can't run anything close to Firefox on FreeDOS or any other DOS. But FreeDOS would run with a 5 GB hard drive all in one FAT32 partition. Work has been and is being done on FreeBSD to make it feasible to install application software via binary patches, that would come in useful on low-resource computers. With 64 MB RAM, I'd look to a window manager like IceWM, or maybe JWM or Ratpoison, but certainly not KDE. An old computer with insufficient RAM for fancy browsers and multimedia can still be useful for a server or router.

I would suggest to get the most recent RELEASE version. Currently that's 8.2. Depending on the hardware you are using, use i386 (the 32 bit system) or AMD64 (the 64 bit system); note that you can run i386 on 64 bit hardware without problems in most cases (except you need a specific 64 bit functionality). Will it work perfectly? This depends on the particular Thinkpad's hardware. See the list of supported devices. The FAQ's chapter Hardware Compatibility does have a good list: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/hardware.html Also see the current release's hardware notes: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/hardware.html In case of questions, you may ask IBM for statements about their FreeBSD support. A basic statement from my personal experience: Whatever hardware is compatible to standards, it will work without any problems. I want a package with the manual, man-pages and how to use FreeBSD perfectly in books. Please see Appendix A. Obtaining FreeBSD in the FreeBSD Handbook for information how to get FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html Also see: http://www.freebsd.org/where.html And of course: http://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm I think you'll also get suggestions from this list about which books are recommended; Absolute FreeBSD is a book commonly mentioned: http://www.absolutefreebsd.com/ It can be ordered from No Starch Press. Also note that you can - if you _want_ to - turn your local manpages, the Handbook and FAQ into printable PS, which means you can selectively print the sections that you need. The tools to do this are provided by the system. What does Free in FreeBSD mean? Does it mean Free as in Free of charge? Or is there an alternate meaning? Free means two things here: FreeBSD is a _free_ operating system within the open source ecosystem; it's developed by the FreeBSD team. And you can obtain it for _free_, i. e. for no charge. http://www.freebsd.org/about.html Please see the web site as an excellent resource to answer most of your questions. The main page http://www.freebsd.org/ contains references to all relevant topics like online documentation, mailing list archives, wikis and related projects. I'm wanting the best operating system for my laptop. Is this the one? This depends on what you intend your laptop to be used for. It therefore depends on the hardware you want to use, as well as on the software. Why is it free of charge when I want to pay for it? You actually _can_ pay for it, e. g. by ordering media and documentation from a vendor, or you can donate money to the project. The strength of the FreeBSD system is that even poor people can afford it as you don't need a pirated copy (which is illegal in most legislations) in order to use a professional, secure and versatile system. So if you want to pay in order to support FreeBSD, see http://www.freebsd.org/donations/ for where to direct donations at. You can see that this is another meaning of free in FreeBSD: You are free to pay for it if you want to. I don't want something stupid. Be confident: You won't get. I don't want to read the man-pages on the internet. Or the manual on the internet. Nor download anything. I don't like that. Then FreeBSD is a good choice. All documentation is available locally (man pages, Handbook, FAQ and so on). You don't need a web browser or an Internet connection to access it. Most 3rd party software available for FreeBSD shares this approach and brings good documentation. Does it come with all the applications I need for business and marketing? That's all I need. No. The FreeBSD operating system brings an operating system, nothing more or less. You will have to install the programs you need because FreeBSD is a multifunctional OS, serving on workstations, servers, combined forms and even embedded systems. How _should_ it come with business applications in such a case? Furthermore, the term business applications is very wide. What _are_ business applications - in YOUR case? Because in _my_ case, business applications may likely be something quite different from yours, and from anyone else's. If you are interested in a FreeBSD system that comes with KDE and lots of average productivity applications preinstalled and preconfigured, check PC-BSD: http://www.pcbsd.org/ See if this fits your needs. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You can purchase a CD set or DVD from which to install the latest RELEASE of FreeBSD, but after installing, you will want to upgrade to the latest security update which will happen by download over the net. You will also want to install some ports. You will really want to install the latest of those as well and that will requite downloads over the net. The update and port install utilities all take care of these things for you. Read and follow the Handbook. Unless you choose not to, the OS man pages will be installed when you do the main installation. Then when you install a port, it will install the man page for that port. So, you can read man pages locally - offline if needed. Have fun.

Will it work perfectly? I want a package with the manual, man-pages and how to use FreeBSD perfectly in books. First off: Is this a new machine, or an older one? IBM hasn't made Thinkpads in at least five years: They sold the business to Lenovo. (Who has kept up the quality and design.) If it's a new machine, which machine is it? Most of the current-generation Thinkpads use the integrated Sandy Bridge graphics. This is supported in -CURRENT, but not in 8.2. There is also a keyboard interaction at boot under 8.2, that has been fixed. What does Free in FreeBSD mean? Does it mean Free as in Free of charge? Or is there an alternate meaning? Free of charge, free to use, free to read the source, free to modify, free to redistribute. Most definitions of free are covered. ;) I'm wanting the best operating system for my laptop. Is this the one? Why is it free of charge when I want to pay for it? I don't want something stupid. As others have said 'best' is an opinion, and dependent on which use you are putting the laptop to. It is a very good one, for many uses. However, given that you sound like a newcomer to the UNIX/OSS software world, and that *currently* your likely hardware (if you are buying a new Thinkpad) isn't fully supported by the standard distribution, FreeBSD may not be for you at this time.

There's nothing wrong with this idea, but I doubt it's going to be implemented in FreeBSD any time soon. (Only if someone steps up to the plate and provides patches probably.) At the moment, FreeBSD is in the throws of replacing the old sysinstall(8) with a brand-new, written from scratch installer. The focus is on getting the installer to support all of the capabilities of the OS like ZFS or gmirror, and what you propose is not a priority right now. You can already build a dual-boot system, but you'll need to know how to go beyond what the installer provides. This is a core FreeBSD concept: learning is desirable, so the OS doesn't try and hide the gory details under a glossy GUI. It's a bit off-putting to beginners, but you're only a beginner for a relatively short time, and the FreeBSD way really does pay dividends once you have some knowledge. I heartily recommend PC-BSD for any beginner that wants to get their feet wet and build a desktop BSD system -- essentially the same role that Ubuntu is aimed at -- not that it isn't good for seasoned old campaigners that just want to spin up a desktop quickly either.

Currently you cannot install FreeBSD from withing Windows, if this is what you mean. FreeBSD is an operating system that needs to be booted _on_ the machine it should be installed to, as the installer requires that OS - just the same way you cannot simply try a Windows by installing it into, let's say... Solaris. :-) Hint 1: You need to install FreeBSD in order to use it. This is done by booting FreeBSD. However, you can install (i. e. use) a system image for a virtualisation software, e. g. for VMWare or VirtualPC. You can use the default installation approaches (from CD or DVD, from USB drive), or you can download a turnkey solution that provides a preinstalled and preconfigured system that you can run within Windows (using the VM solution). An example is VirtualBSD: http://www.virtualbsd.info/ Hint 2: You can use a VM solution. You can _easily_ install a dual-boot solution for FreeBSD and Windows, but you have to do that from within the FreeBSD installer, as mentioned above. You can _also_ use PC-BSD to install a normal FreeBSD, as well as the PC-BSD operating system (derived from FreeBSD). This is also simple and easy. Find more info here: http://www.pcbsd.org/ Hint 3: Dual-booting is easy. :-) During _any_ of the installation methods mentioned, you can define the target drive and the size of your installation. Typically it is a hard disk, but it doesn't have to be. More information is provided by the FreeBSD Handbook and the FAQ, which you'll find here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/ FreeBSD provides excellent documentation that helps you to do the easy task of installation. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FreeBSD is an operating system that needs to be booted _on_ the machine it should be installed to, as the installer requires that OS - just the same way you cannot simply try a Windows by installing it into, let's say...

It does this while you are running Windows, although it has to reboot the machine. (Which it will do automatically for you.) It's very slick, and would be an interesting addition to FreeBSD, but I don't think it's likely to be something that will get worked on soon. Ubuntu is targeted at non-technical users, especially ones not likely to have run Linux (or any other open-source OS) before. FreeBSD is largely targeted at more technical users, and at the server space instead of the desktop. So such a tool would be a high priority for Ubuntu (as it makes installing the OS much easier for a newbie), it's not the top of the list for FreeBSD. Daniel T.

If I want an unixlike OS that does what I need with minimal fuss and where things are added due their merit in improving usability/speed/stability rather results in artificial tests the OS will be one of the BSD's. The quality of the BSD licensed software added with the quality of documentation (Cyrus might be the exception as the documentation goes...) just far exceeds anything else available for free or free. FreeBSD might not support every gadget out there, but for the most part, the supported selection has always been good enough for the use I have.

I think the keywords here are more 'Juniper' and 'Cisco' (both of whom have products either based on FreeBSD or incorporating quantities of FreeBSD code, and neither of whom are in the business of making network cards that I know of) rather than 'Intel' and 'Broadcom' (not that Intel has anything to be ashamed of with regard to their support of their NICs under *BSD. If anything they are the model that we would encourage other companies to emulate). In any case, why should companies be constrained to open their code as the only way of giving back to an opensource community? I agree that it would be desirable, but commercial realities are such that it's not going to happen any time soon. Companies do have other routes to 'give back' -- donations of money or equipment, sponsoring development projects or conferences, providing day-time employment for FreeBSD developers, even just publicly acknowledging that they use FreeBSD technology. None of which is required by the terms of the license, but frequently seems to happen anyhow.

The source for these ports is no longer maintained, and they may pose a security risk if you use them on multi-user machines --- especially if untrusted users have local shell access --- but if you want to shoot your foot, the Ports tree already provides gun ammo to do that :-) alpine works fine ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Justin, Yes, you want amd64 if this is a modern 64-bit Intel CPU. As was pointed out recently when someone asked more or less the same question, the amd refers to the architecture, not the chip manufacturer. I know nothing about plesk, but are you sure you *must* have 6.1? The legacy production release is now at 6.3. I've never built a 64-bit machine, but given the present situation I'd absolutely go with 7.0 for a new install, at least for a 32-bit system. A note, if I may.

Can I dl the software and install it on the other hard drive without burning it to cds or using floppy discs? Wondering if I can do it from the other drive/operating system. I think so, but I am not clear on what you are asking. Do you want to delete xp and install FreeBSD on that drive? Since you already have FreeBSD installed on the second drive, why do that? Do you need two copies of the same OS? If you really think you need more than one FreeBSD running, check out vmware. It is in the ports /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3 Or, do you mean that you haven't yet installed FreeBSD, but want to do so without making a CD - just from something on the other drive. Well, I think it is technically possible, but it would be more difficult than making a CD. Sysinstall or any of the FreeBSD software is not designed to run under MS, be it xp or Win2k or whatever. It is a completely different OS and execution environment. Do you have a good network connection? If you don't buy a CD set, then you will need the network connection for the install anyway. Just download the 6.2 disk1 CD ISO image, burn it and do the install with it. If you don't have a burner, you can get them cheap nowdays or find someone to do it for you or buy the CD set from one of the vendors who package CD sets for FreeBSD. You will be much happier than trying to make the install utilities run from an MS slice. Now, if you want to make an image that you install on several machines, that can be done. But, first you have to build the first one on a FreeBSD system with a FreeBSD boot. Thanks, please advise. That's my advice.

Re: hi
Drew, When discussing questions from the list, you should always include the list in your reply rather than dropping to individual exchanges. I will add the questions list back in. Ok I think I see the point. I will go ahead and burn CDs rather than mounting a cd image from windows with a cd emulator... I'll boot up with install disc one and go from there. Question, What benefit is there to dling and installing CD#2 ( i see multi language support, don't need that ) The disc2 Cd contains additional software from what is called Ports in FreeBSD. It is only useful if you have difficulty with a network connection. If you have a good network connection, then it would all be installed over the net. Just make sure when you do the initial install, you include the ports collection. That is on disc1 and it installs a framework (skeleton) for the ports system. Then when you want to install something such as vmware or firefox or apache, etc you cd to the relevant directory in the ports tree and all you have to do is a make clean; make; make install; make distclean and it will go out and get the files and do the necessary builds. You can even combine all those makes. Will my web designers and developers benefit from any additional stuff on CD 2 or the VMWARE downloads? I'm just kind of the manager here but I work remotely with the technical guys, if they lived down the street I'm sure they could come over and tell me what I need hah. They will benefit from that stuff, but if there is a decent network connection, it is just as well, maybe better, to get it from the net as the ports continue to be updated somewhat asynchronously from the OS release. jerry Thanks, and thank you for the help so far. regards On 3/21/07, Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, Mar 20, 2007 at 09:25:34PM -0400, Daniel Molina Wegener wrote: On Tuesday 20 March 2007 20:33, Drew White wrote: Hi NOOB question...

Drew Regards, Daniel, Uhm, last time I checked you needed to have the media to boot off of. So unless the OP is going to run FreeBSD from a virtual machine it isn't possible to run the installer without the media. There's also the FAT(32) option in the installer, but you need to have all of the installation files setup properly on the FAT32 partition. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you configured sendmail yet? Take a look in /var/log/maillog and see what it says.

Re: hi
Cheza, This is almost certainly a sendmail problem. You don't say how your mail routing is supposed to work. Is, for instance, your sendmail meant to deliver the mail locally on the same machine? Does sendmail have to talk to another mail transfer agent to deliver the mail to another machine? It might be the case that your sendmail is not configured to: 1. Receive mail from the address you specify in php.ini/mail() 2. Listen on the correct ports (25) But I would expect to see an error displayed. You need to see whether the mail queue is filling up within sendmail. Quite possibly your sendmail queue is filling up but mails are being blocked by another server. Have you looked at the sendmail.mc or freebsd.mc file and reconstructed the sendmail.cf files using m4? Sendmail is a very complicated beast, but worth persevering with :-) All the best, Jon On Fri, April 21, 2006 11:05, Chezangla, Engineer, DrukNet wrote: I'm using: freeBSD-5.x PHP-5.x Mysql-4.x Apache-2.x I want to use php mail() to send mails using php script.
