The partition holding /usr/ports was way too small on my machine. I finally cheated and copied the ports directory to a different (and larger) partition and made /usr/ports a symbolic link to it. The only problem I had was that the Makefiles seem busted for openoffice and I had to keep installing *.tz files by hand into the ./ports/distfiles/ directory from the various web sites. After a few hours of cursing, finally got a runable version of openoffice. That's one way of doing it. However, for future reference you'll probably find it a lot easier just to set the WRKDIRPREFIX environment variable to a directory on a partition with plenty of space: no copying /usr/ports around the place needed at all. See the ports(7) man page for more detail.

If you don't care about keeping history and annotating the changes, unison (in the ports) will make it easy for you.

Where can i find a startup log
Hi list, I hope this isn't a FAQ - i have been using FreeBSD for some years now. My question: Where can i find a log of all the startup messages that flash by so fast that i can't read them? Not the kernel messages, but daemons that fail to start and such. I have been searching the web, handbook, faq, but to no avail.

RE: Help Building Mozilla
Hello, I am trying to add spell checking support to mozilla. I have download the spell checker from cvs. First I tried adding the src and patching the port directly, of course it wiped that out when I started the port install again. So I downloaded the src for 1.2.1 from mozilla and added the spell checker source and patched that code. I tried to build it and just can't seem to find any instructions for building mozilla from source. The best I have found is running the configure script and then running gmake or make (different instructions) -f client.mk build. However that is not working, getting Missing operator errors. There are really no instructions for building Mozilla from src on the Mozilla site, other than there auto installers for Linux, etc.. Seems like if the process is so convoluted hat they would have some instructions. Is there a way to pull down the src, modify it and then build it using the freebsd ports? Thanks for your help.

I believe postfix, and probably other MTA's, can support user based relaying. However it would also be easy to setup two mail server's. One that only relayed mail internally and one that relayed mail externally as well, if you budget supports two mail servers that is. Then just set the smtp server appropriately for each of the mail clients.

Setting up FreeBSD as a wireless base station
I was looking into setting up a wireless network at home. I'm already using FreeBSD 4.4 as my gateway/firewall (NATD/ipfw/junkbuster) for my wired network. I was initially looking at a Cisco 350 as an access point and Orinoco cards for the laptops/desktops that don't have wired access, mostly because an admin I knew swears by their security features. Cost is too high for my budjet however (for the access point). After some searching, I've found that FreeBSD could be used directly with a wireless card to become an access point. However, with the Orinoco cards, I read it could only do ad-hoc and not infrastructure mode. For that, a Prism-based card is required. I've looked at the list of cards pretty quickly, but I don't know which ones to get. Keep in mind that all the systems that will be wireless will be Windows (98/XP), apart from the FreeBSD gateway. Here's what I would like to accomplish: 1- The access point will not advertise it's name 2- When connecting to the access point, the clients will encrypt the name they're trying to connect to, so outside snoopers, even if they do break WEP, won't be able to connect (I think this is what was done with the Orinoco cards, the Cisco 350, and special client software). 3- All communication afterwards is continuously encrypted between the clients and the access point (not just with WEP). Both clients and server should have key pairs (SSL?). 4- All clients will have access to the network and internet as if they were wired (i.e. there should be no difference to the user whether using a wireless or wired computer). This includes Windows shares as well as any other TCP/IP based protocol. Which Prism-based card would be best for this? Keep in mind I need both PCI and PCMCIA cards that should all be compatible with each other. I have both PCI and ISA slots available on my FreeBSD system. Also, which Windows software will I be needing to make this painless to the user (if anything specialized is needed)? Also, on the Windows side again, which diagnostics software would be best?

mdconfig, cd9660 and mount -o rw
I'm aware that under normal circumstances, cd9660 should always be read-only, but I was hoping I'd be able to make changes to an iso image, and then burn the modified image. The image is bootable, and I'm looking to avoid breaking the bootable nature of the CD by my inept use of mkisofs. Here's what I've tried... (as root) # chown root:wheel /tmp/mycd.iso # chmod 666 /tmp/mycd.iso # mkdir /mnt/cd # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/mycd.iso -u 1 # mount -t cd9660 -o rw /dev/md1 /mnt/cd This works, and /mnt/cd is the iso's filesystem. However, the rw argument is ignored. Any actions which would write to the iso image fail with Read-only file system. The mount command also shows... /dev/md1 on /mnt/cd (cd9660, local, read-only) Suggestions? or should I just RTFM on mkisofs and bootable CDs --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Compaq Evo install problems
I'm half way through working around the problems trying to install FreeBSD on a new Compaq Evo desktop. The only install CD I have is 4.6-RELEASE, but these problems don't seem to be version-specific. Here is where I'm up to, and hopefully someone can point me closer to completion. Please excuse only partial information. I have very limited access through the firewall, no GUI. Output from the new machine can only be transferred to this email via the pencil device if necessary. At first, the install CD wouldn't boot at all, saying BTX halted. A search of the archives told me to disable DMA in the BIOS, or downgrade to an earlier BIOS. I did the former and completed the basic installation and reboot without drama. Now I have to do something about the two devices that come up as unknown in dmesg: audio and ethernet. pci0: unknown card(vendor=0x8086, dev=0x24c5) at 31.5 irq 5 pci5: unknown card(vendor=0x8086, dev=0x103b) at 8.0 irq 5 The important one is pci5. Again a mail archive search showed someone had a similar problem, used pciconf -l and looked up /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors to investigate, then suggested Is it enough to add 0x103b to the ident table?. He did, and apparently it worked fine. That seems to be what I need to do, and the same 0x103b turns out appropriate for my device. I have two questions: What/where is the ident table, and unless it's obvious, how do I put the number in? If the nic effort is successful, can I follow similar steps to try to get sound going? http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

I am not sure if you want to work on an existing file, or future mail files. If it is future mail files then you probably want to use a program which can stop the mail getting in the file in the first place. If this is the case look up 'procmail'.

That wasn't my intention : I wanted to stay on 4.7 release but I made a mistake in my cvsup file. Sure enough, while reading the GENERIC kernel, some lines were quite different from the normal 4.7 release but I guessed that it was new options with the coming 4.8 release. The make world and make buildkernel went ok but when I've installed the kernel, I received this message : You must set up a /boot/device.hints file first I've looked up the docs, located de device.hints man page. But while I found an explanation, I haven't found anything about building it, and it seem to me a daunting task to make a correct device.hints file. My question is this : how do I make this file ? Is this only a matter of copying the file GENERIC.hints to /boot/device.hints ? Should I go back to the 4.7 release ? How ? Any hints are appreciated Marc LeMaire Hmm,. I'd say perhaps you may be better suited to 4.7 It seems like you've done some odd things in the updgrade process. But it's impossible to say without knowing all the steps you've done. Did you read the 5.0 UPDATING carefully? Even if you did I'm not sure source upgrade from 4.x to 5.0 works that well anyway, so you may have done nothing wrong. What steps have you taken? have you done mergemaster -p, etc? It is possible that you have put yourself in a halfway stage of a broken system that you can't really get out of. You could try intalling the 4.7R sources again and try the proper upgrade procedure exactly as in UPDATING and it may downgrade you properly also. I don't know how to get a device.hints file, if you can't figure out how to do that, you could back up and reinstall from scratch, 4.7 or 5.0 as you wish.
