What I have ready to install is called, freenet-0.7.0-rc1.new- install. Can anyone verify if this is a newer and a good version? (just looking at the numbers it wouldn't appear to be, to me) I also would like to know if one should set up Freemail first before installing and setting up (configuring)something like Thunderbird? Is one done before the other? Are there any clear instructions, step-by-step in How to forward ports as I need to do this and don't know how to. Freenet keeps telling me it is trying to connect to or learn my IP but cannot unless I forward some ports but there are no directions about how to do this. For some who might read this, they will see I have repeated myself. Sorry about that. If it isn't clear to me I keep seeking. Thanks to those who have offered suggestions and please continue.

Maybe he is reading the message wrong and it is saying his Java version is too old? Just a guess. On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 7:35 AM, l...@hushmail.com wrote: Hi again.

[freenet-support] elettra, a supplementary way to encrypt files on your harddisk
I happened to find this, on another mailing list. Elettra might be supplementary to freenet users, a supplementary way to encrypt important data on your harddisk? This might saw some ideas to the Freenet people. WHAT'S ELETTRA ? Elettra is a software providing plausible deniable cryptography. It supports a dynamic number of files and requires a password for each file. When you need to decrypt a file, the password is able to find in the encrypted archive the file related to it. the security measure is in the protection of the number of files encrypted in the archive, because the algorithm is thought to give a plausible ammission that the data unencrypted is simple random data, and only one file is encrypted in it. Here are some important links: http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=65id=6#article http://www.winstonsmith.info/julia/elettra/ Just for your info. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

[freenet-support] Freenet uninstall for new Build install

(Unless, of course, you're sending info you'd like kept private.) Sorry about that. I will post to support from now on and thank you for directing me to the proper procedures. I like that. I think I'm sort of averaging around 8-10 peers. I accidentally clicked something and it opened a separate tab showing connected and one busy. This was with a total of 19 peers at the time. I don't know about this next thing. The Freenet Installer icon was on my desktop. I just put it into a folder. When I opened the folder to look at it (for no good reason), there was the icon with these words; Freenet Installer- 1233. The Freenet page that opens says 1236. Like I said, I downloaded a new one yesterday but it's called, freenet-0.7.0-rc1.new-install. The site said it was the latest. That doesn't look like the latest to me. I have found Build 1236 and will install it. How do I uninstall Freenet 1233, Freemail, Frost etc.? I am not a command line person but have tried several things. 'cmd' and then tried to go to the Freenet directory or folder to change what others have suggested. I also tried 'promt', then typing in the path but can't get past this message: C:\Program\Files\Freenet\ is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. Anyway, I'm about fed up with it. I keep searching but cannot find anything that tells me 'how' to do certain things. The instructions only say this is what one needs to do. I repeat, I need to know how. My best bet seems to be completely uninstalling it all so please some-anyone, does that also mean Java or will that uninstall with a Freenet uninstall? If uninstall goes successfully I intend to install again, but do I install Thunderbird before or after Freemail? Does Frost come after Freenet? I am assuming so on both counts but assuming isn't for sure. Okay. I'll take some more deep breaths. Thanks every-anyone. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
