Re: Help Installing Sun JDK on FreeBSD
Ok so it seems i still have some other issues... :( I have previously successfully installed the diablo JDK on the official compatible versions (FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.1) But I need to have JDK installed in numerous versions of FreeBSD. In this case i need it on 5.0 version The problem I have now is getting it installed in my FreeBSD 5.0 system So i tried to pkg_add the diablo-jdk-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz from this http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml website (the package is meant for FreeBSD5.5, but its the closest thing available for the 5.0) Like in all the other times I've installed it (on the compatible versions)... it asked for the XORG libraries and the javavmwrapper-2.0_6. I managed to install the XORG Libraries manually and it works... so the only thing i am not able to install is the javavmwrapper which i need I've tried numerous methods: Method 1: cd /usr/ports/java/javavmwrapper make install clean The result make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue And yes my ports tree is updated Method 2: pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/Latest/javavmwrapper.tbz In this method not only does it display the ...is in the future messages, but at the end it says pkg_add: write_plist: unknown command type -1 (kaffe-1.*) Can anyone please let me know how i can get javavmwrapper installed so i can install the JDK on FreeBSD5.0???

For apache22 make show-options gives you instructions. It is highly unlikely you would need to do anything to the Makefile.

For example, I use the following in pkgtools.conf in the MAKE_ARGS section: 'apache-2*' = [ 'WITHOUT_IPV6=1', 'WITH_AUTH_MODULES=1', 'WITH_LDAP_MODULES=1', 'WITH_MISC_MODULES=1', 'WITH_PROXY_MODULES=1', 'WITH_THREADS_MODULES=1', 'WITH_SUEXEC_MODULES=1', 'WITH_DBM=bdb', 'WITH_BERKELEYDB=FreeBSD', ], Not sure though: but aren't a lot of those options also settable in the apache config file ? it might be a better idea to check that out first, so if you ever change your mind about a setting you don't have to recompile your intire apache2 port.

If you want something faster than UDMA-33 with your hard drive(s) though (assuming you have EIDE hard drives), you should connect it/them with an 80-pin cable.

As somebody already mentioned, it could very well be an issue with your hard drive - but the simplest thing to do is first verify that your ISO and, thus, your CDROM image aren't corrupt. A checksum is basically a value generated from a data file using some sort of calculation method (in this case, using an md5 hash). This value can then be later used to verify nothing has changed in the data file and that you have downloaded it with no errors. This is a common thing to see in the open source world. If you want more information on this, more can be found from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum . If you are downloading on a Windows machine, you can use the md5sum utility (download here http://www.etree.org/md5com.html ). Once you have the ISO file, you can simpy place both the md5sum.exe utility and ISO in the same directory and run it like so: C:\Documents and Settings\dstanford\Desktop*md5sum.exe 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso* This will generate a value which you can then compare with what the valueshould be, hereftp://ftp1.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/CHECKSUM.MD5. If the two values match up, then you know the downloaded file (ISO) is the same as the one on the server and that there were no errors while downloading.

Re: help installing FreeBSD
I've got a Maxtor of 60GB as primary master. My geometry is wrongly reported by the installation program, it reports a geometry of 119108/16/63 while the BIOS reports one of 1024/240/63. If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is a long-time bug in the installer. I've installed several times seeing this error and never had a problem. However, to be safe you could always manually specify the geometry of your disk in the fdisk utility during install. I think this has nothing to do since I'm planning to have FreeBSD as the only OS of the machine, but you never know... These errors are shown just after I leave the partition editor, when they give the warning of making Back ups. Then the 'Writing partitions; message is shown and then the last one that says: Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 36 I'm confused.

At this point is where I press Alt+F2 and the errors (the WRITE_DMA errors) are shown. Is not necessary to press Alt+F2 but I read it somewhere. I hope you know now where do these errors are shown, if not please respond me again and I'll try to explain it better. By the way, I don't think is the checksum because I was trying to install FreeBSD 5.4 at first and the same error occured, but I will check the checksum, is just that... excuse my ignorance, but what is the checksum of my ISO image and how do I verify it Sorry I know that is a stupid question... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- End of Original Message --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unfortunately I cannot tell you about configuration you need for 855G, but at least you need load kernel module for 855G, and place Load dri Load glx to Module section of xorg.cfg 2) can you define what is 'good performance with glxgears'? I get about 200 fps... but GL-based xscreensaver modules push very low fps. I have about 750 fps on Radeon 9200 at home with installed graphics/dri, and I have same fps with native nVidia drivers at work on GeForce MX440. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What is the [general] hardware configuration of the machine you're attempting to install on? Have you read: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html ?

yo, I downloaded a freebsd .iso img, and put in in my drive, but when I reseted, it wouldn't install, Yo. Don't take this the wrong way, but this is a really really bad trouble report. You are very unlikely to get any responses. Did you burn a CD or just download the image? Did you get any error messages? Have you read the handbook? _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
