*snipped for polite cleanliness*
Thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out here. I think
instead of playing CDs I'll just rip them, it seems a WHOLE lot easier,
and of course, not having to worry about scratches is a plus ;)
I think one MAJOR problem I had yesterday when I was
Hi list,
I was doing some searching on the FreeBSD FTP server where the ports are
installed, and I noticed AIM was available. I use AIM and so I did this:
pkg_add -r aim
It downloaded the package, finished up, and it was done.
Here is the thing; I can't run it. When I type aim from a

Have you `rehash'ed ?
Yes I have. I read that whenever installing something new I should do
that so it can find new things

I've been searching on the net for like an hour trying to see how to
play a CD on FreeBSD, and normally I'd have just tried mounting it,
being from the Linux world, but when I first checked to be sure of the
proper way, I found mostly info saying not to mount it at all.
So now I'm not sure
I found in the handbook that I could try this:
/sbin/mount /cdrom
I then saw this:
/dev/cd0: device not configured.
Apparently typing /sbin first made it give me a different error message,
I'm just trying to find hwo to configure a drive now. would
/stand/sysinstall work for this?

Thanks very much! I've been thinking about setting up another FreeBSD
machine so I can test both CVS and FreeBSD-update without mixing the two
together which from what I hear is a bad idea, and I
Hello all,
I've been using this list to my advantage for a while to learn things I
can't seem to grasp, and I've gotten great amounts of help.
I have a question in regards to the process of patching / Updating /

7.1-RELEASE

for myself how it works without breaking it/

Hi,
I've continued reading to keep myself updated with info used, and I
have a few questions about what I've seen about
have any benefit over the cvsup method? I've heard
you don't have to go single user and a few other things, but does it
have any actual benefit?
Thanks,

Thanks all for the replies. I wanted to send a formal thank you instead
of replying to each of the people who responded to me so I wouldn't be
spamming the list, as I think that would be a much more polite way of
doing it than sending a bunch of messages in
I've been watching this thread for a while now and have seen some things

Nothing really beats the CVS way. And when I tried a 7.0 to a 7.1,
it wanted like 30,000 updates and was taking forever.
It seems to me that most people that come to this list with base-system

It can be tricky at first, and I'm not sure about the update-scan
utility you're using. Check out the handbook and just run the directions
from there:
portsnap fetch
portsnap update (or you can run portsnap fetch update in one go)
then

Hi all,
I have installed FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE
on two of my systems. One of them (This one I'm using) is a PC I use as
one of my main desktops. The other I decided on after wanting to keep
safe with my main one which has important data on it, so I decided to
use another machine and do an

I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up.
I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made
some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway heh.
Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by
