How to build FreeBSD entirely from sources?
Hello, "FreeBSD from Scratch" describes a method for REbuilding a FreeBSD system entirely from sources, starting from an existing FreeBSD system. But I want to build a new FreeBSD system on a machine currently NOT running FreeBSD. How can I do this? I'm used to doing this with Gentoo Linux: With Gentoo, one extracts a "stage" tarball to the target partition, which contains gcc, glibc and some other binary programs, just enough to rebuild itself, using a "bootstrapping" script. Then one does "emerge system" which fetches sources for the entire base system, compiles them and installs them. After that, other applicantions can be installed with "emerge packagename" (comparable to Ports system). Can I install FreeBSD in a similar way? Sysinstall only installs binary packages. I am new to FreeBSD but not to building stuff from sources (I've been using Gentoo Linux for quite a while now).

mplayer screws up audio device access
Hi, I am running 4-Stable with up-to-date ports installed. I'm puzzled by what mplayer does to my audio device (I use mplayer-gtk-esound-0.92.0_4 compiled from ports). When I run "gmplayer -vo x11", I can only play one movie with sound. When I stop the movie (NOT exiting mplayer!) and start another one, I get this dialog from mplayer: "Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound" and, of course, there's no sound. This is quite a nuissance. Any idea what is going wrong here?

Recommendations for newfs parameters for UFS2 ?
Hi list, Are there any recommendations for the blocksize, bytes/i-node, and cylinders/group parameters when newfs'ing an UFS2 filesystem? I am afraid of ending up with a fs with Gigs of space and no inodes left, or a fs that is heavily fragmented and slow. Which params should i use for a - 10G - 100G - 500G filesystem?

Installing OpenOffice from Ports Collection
Hi all! I'm trying to install OpenOffice-1.1 on FreeBSD4.9 RELEASE. The installation halts - which is in itself highly unusual. It asks for various bsd-jdk & j2sdk files from Sun to be installed in /usr/distfiles, so I download and copy them into the requisite directory, chown & chgrp them as necessary, and begin the build again. The install complains that the required files aren't there! (they are!!) Here's an example of the output: ===> Extracting for jdk-1.4.2p6_1 >> Checksum OK for j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip. >> Checksum OK for j2sdk-1_4_2-bin-scsl.zip. >> Checksum mismatch for bsd-jdk14-patches-6.tar.gz. ===> Refetch for 1 more times files: bsd-jdk14-patches-6.tar.gz LIBC_R TEST PASSED: All Ok NOTICES: To build JDK 1.4.2 port, you should have at least 1.7Gb of free disk space in build area!

I tried vnconfig, but I can't get that thing to mount r/w. ISO9660 isn't intended to be a fully read-write format. You can replace files with later versions by adding them to the end of a multi-session image, but that doesn't actually remove the original from the earlier session. Occasionally I will do things like this by copying the files out of the image, modifying the filesystem, and writing them back to a new image, but that technique doesn't automatically give me the same set of options on the 9660 filesystem. Typically, I don't care -- I want to use a specific new set of options anyway -- but it's not quite what you asked for. In theory, it would be possible to do this, but it would be very inefficient. It would require making a new ISO image with every modification.

Yes, but you are building Gentoo from within a LINUX environment, eg you have already installed at least a basic amount of LINUX and then built stuff in that environment. FreeBSD is the same, but easier. Just download the mini-ISO and use it to do an install and include full sources. You might also want to also install X and the ports tree. Then you can cvsup if you want any updates and then modify any part of the source that you think you want, do make world and install it and. reboot. Then, if you want, modify the kernel conf file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ (work with a copy and see the LINT file in that directory plus man pages for the devices for more information on kernel configuring) and loader config file, and build a new kernel and install it. Reboot again. You will have your own completely home built FreeBSD. It is all quite well documented in the handbook and discussed extensively on several web sites (try Google and you will get more than you ever wanted to know) and in several publications and books. It is different from any of the LINUXen because it is better designed, organized consistent. It is too easy (but I ain't complaining). jerry > > Thanks in advance, > > GH > > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The partition table in that situation was : 3rd primary partition --> LFS 5.0 (Linux) 4th primary partition --> extended partition ... ... Then I tried to install it after I made a first primary partition (with FreeBSD as partition type), gave the first partition even the "bootable flag", but I didn't succeed either... How important it may be to have a free primary partition for installing FreeBSD, I think there is another problem. I have noticed now that when in Sysinstall I choose for "Begin a standard installation", the light of showing my hard disk activity at the front of my PC, is on and keeps burning instead of getting off after Sysinstall has tried to find my hard disk. I think that this is not good! So I hope (again very hopefully) that someone can help me further! By the way, yesterday night I took a look in the BIOS settings of my Pentium 4 and discovered that my IDE Hard Disk is connected as a primary slave to my first IDE Controller, while my DVD player is connected as a primary master to the same controller. I don't know if that this is a problem, for I don't know if FreeBSD demands to be installed on a primary master Hard Disk. Maybe this information is a hint for you with helping me to find a solution?

The source is much larger than the installation of the running system. A minimal distribution is a running system. FreeBSD is organized a little differently from LINUX.

The parameters given to newfs(8) don't depend on the size of the
filesystem, so much as the size of the files you intend to store
within it, and the sort of directory structure you want to use
(ie. how many files per directory) Many of the tunables in newfs(8) to
do with the details of disk geometry don't make sense with modern
drives and should be ignored.
You should try running 'newfs -N' with various values for the '-g'
average file size and '-h' average numbers of files per directory
parameters to see what sort of numbers it spits out. You don't have
to be too accurate with those file size and files per directory
estimates -- order of magnitude is generally good enough. Unless
you're going to be storing exceptionally large files (say, typical
size 20Mb) or you want to have directories with 5,000 or more files in
them, then just using the newfs(8) default values will work very well.
One thing you can do for any file system over about 256Mb is drop the
free space reserve ('-m' option in newfs(8), or it can be modified in
an existing filesystem using tunefs(8)). 1% is more than adequate if
you're creating a multi-gigabyte filesystem.

Matthew

Migrating 5.2 from Pentium 4 to Athlon MP
Hello all, I have a server currently running on a Pentium 4 box. Yesterday I bought an AMD 762 MPX chipset to go with two Athlon MP 2000+. The production server is running FreeBSD 5.2, a GENERIC with additional SCSI/RAID controllers trimmed off. The kernel and all of the userland + ports were built with -march=p4 flags and I am wondering if there's any way I can just plug the disk into the Athlon box without rebuilding everything with the exception of the world+kernel. FYI, the kernel is SMP-aware. How does the -march flag effect the userland programs? I am aware that only OpenSSL is capable of taking advantage of specific CPU instructions but other than that?

What performance and what Intel chipset implied here? Providing helpful information should be positive. Unclear information with bias does not help. Intel 875 chipset (P4) may provide 2-time memory bandwidth than Nvidia (AMD). However, spending the same amount $ on both motherboards and CPUs, this AMD system may produce twice computation power than this Intel system. This is an important fact if $ is an issue. Intel has tried to release new BIOS every other week or a month to fix 875 chipset booting problem (rev 005 to 015) because different I/O peripheral combination can cause its BIOS hang (not funny, I never see such serious problem on system design). For example, swap CDrom and IDE drive, or add some I/O controller, or use different video card, etc., all can cause system be unable to start from BIOS. We bought a 875 system, but could not use it for almost 6 months till its BIOS rev 015 was out. What a horrible story. We did benchmark for some good motherboards.

Tracking local port hacks?
We sometimes find it necessary to make some small change to a port before installing it, and need a way to track/merge these changes as ports are updated. Is there a recommended way of doing that? The cvsup faq (http://www.cvsup.org) suggests that it's possible to get sources in "cvs mode" and it has some suggestions for managing a local branch. Is that the best way to do it? Anyone know how BIG the ports tree is if we get it via cvsup in "cvs mode"?

In the first place I want to thank you for your detailed advice! I think this will going to help me, but I have decided to wait till the next weekend with changing my Hard Disk from primary slave to primary master. Reason: at this moment (and it will last for the next few days) it is pretty cold and dry in the air, tomorrow it will be nearly freezing and they except some snow here in The Netherlands. So the weather conditions are not optimal for opening PC boxes; I won't risk damaging sensible objects with static electricity (if you know what I mean). Next weekend warmer and less dry weather is to be expected, so then I will work further at this problem. Of course you can expect a message from me when I changed my hard disk as master. By the way, my Pentium III has the hard disk connected as primary IDE Master, there I didn't have the problem with Sysinstall. Strange though that the store I bought my PC from did connect the hard disk as primary slave, although it is the only hard disk I have in my pentium 4... It isn't logical, eh? At the other hand, it has to be said that Linux and also Windows don't have problems with such a hardware configuration... But, anyway, I let you know how this story continues hopely very soon!

It is too likely that there is cpu specific stuff in userland libraries that were linked to your builds. I have moved from P-IIIs to AMDs without problems.

I am not sure what the problem is. I believe that this message means that your DHCP client got assigned an address, but when it pinged that address to make sure no one else was using it, something responded. You may need the system administrator to figure out who else is camped out on the IP address. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
The fear of cvsupping my ports...
Greetings! I was just wondering if anyone knew how to work around this little problem I have. I'm running 4.9-RELEASE, by the way. Now, the thing is, I run into problems when I've cvsupped my ports tree. "make index" bails out afer about 2 seconds, and "portsdb -U" spews out about 3000 lines of " missing:" " dependency list incomplete". This, of course, leaves my package database mangled, with portversion reporting all of my installed ports as being of a later date than the ones in the ports tree. I've tried cvsupping at various points in time over the past few weeks, but to no avail. A bit of snooping around led me to suspect that maybe it has something to do with the make program, but I'm not sure. Has anyone got any idea? Must I upgrade to -STABLE? I'd rather not, because in my experience those kinds of major upgrades leave the system anything BUT stable. On the other hand, I'm getting tired of reinstalling the ports tree from sysinstall to avoid complete and utter chaos. Please (b)cc: me, as I'm not a subscriber. Thanks!!

Using cvsup to maintain a copy of the whole (or part of the) CVS repository, and then using cvs to check out the branch/version you want is certainly one way to do it. Cvs (unlike cvsup) understands local changes and can merge changed files (assuming the changes don't conflict of course, then you have to do some editing by hand.) I don't know if it is the *best* way of doing it, but it is the way I do it and it works fairly well. The ports part of the CVS repository uses around 600MB of disk space. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I do it too. It takes a bit longer to update, since you have to "cvsup" then cvs "update -dP", but I do it at night via cron, and get an email the next morning if there were any conflicts with local changes. > The ports part of the CVS repository uses around 600MB of disk space.

Unfortunately Audigy 2 is not supported out of the box by FreeBSD, you have to use emu10kx (I'm disconnected now, but if you search the web you'll find it in no time). After you've downloaded the module you can follow the instructions you can find in a little howto posted on this list by dlodeiro, and have your card working in no time (granted, I have the same card ^^, and it works wonderfully). If the latest release doesn't work don't despair and try an earlier one.
