I have about 2yrs BSD experience with open but still i don't think its a good idea to run current when i am trying to switch to Free and learn it. Getting up one morning and finding cvs updated and broke something would be a bad vibe at this stage. Thanks for your help i greatly appreciate it. -- Best regards, SweeTLeaFmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

snapshots.jp.FreeBSD.org is one place where you can find ISO-images
that have been built from -CURRENT.
Please do note though, that CURRENT is the experimental, bleeding-edge
version of FreeBSD. Quoting:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
As you read this, keep in mind that FreeBSD-current is the
``bleeding edge'' of FreeBSD development. FreeBSD-current
users are expected to have a high degree of technical skill,
and should be capable of solving difficult system problems on
their own. If you are new to FreeBSD, think twice before
installing it.
Regards,
Giorgos.

Pkg_add on any .tbz was giving broken pipe and non gzip errorsso i started looking on google and found something that said the .tbz format was broken and it was ok to use the .tgz packages from the 4.6.2 rel. It appears that held no validity :) I have been looking on all the ftp/s and have noticed that 5.0-current has the .tbz format so i guess there is difference in the 5.0 DP1 and 5.0-current.

I may be corrected, but I think librarys work like this: libc.so.4 <-- freebsd 4.x libc.so.3 <-- freebsd 3.x Where did you get the packages from? There are different packages on the ftp site for different versions of FreeBSD: packages-5-current packages-5.0-current packages-4.0-stable I hope this helps.

cant find libc.so.4
Hello freebsd-questions, I just downloaded the 5.0 DP1 iso and have some questions. First i noticed the pkg_add ...via ftp is broken as it does not want to use the tbz packages even with the -r flag. Is this a bug being fixed for the new format .tbz or is freebsd going to revert back to the .tgz instead. anyways i installed the system and everythings working great. i did not install kde or gnome as i wanted to just use X with Afterstep. As i mentioned the .tbz pkg_add is broken when using a network resource, local disk seems to work, so i searched on google and saw a thread that said to use the tgz packages from 4.6.2 and they would work fine. ok i pkg_add via ftp the Afterstep-1.8.11 and it did install and installed several other items that i assume were deps. thats why i wanted to use the ftp methode because i thought it found all the deps and installed them for you. ok the problem with afterstep is when i try to start it i am getting the following error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.4" not found where can i get this lib and do i just add it to the ldd path? If i wanted to run current how would i find the latest .iso or do we have to make our own for these snapshots? I am comming from openbsd so please be patient as i learn the minnor differences. -- Best regards, SweeTLeaF mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
