Opera browser native FreeBSD (was Re: AbiWord)
Browser-based apps are what I do, all day. And Opera is the best, by far: http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/?platform=freebsd FreeBSD native. Fast. Small. Wonderful font-rendering. Totally HTML/XML standards-compliant, etc. If you use the web all day, it's worth paying the $39 USD to these nice people up in Norway who made this great browser. (To show my support, I bought 10 FreeBSD licenses.) If I could only find a non-GNOME/non-KDE/non-Linux browser(/email) package with the quality rendering of Netscape-4.8 without the bloat... ... I'd be pretty happy. It kinda sucks to have to install an entire 100MB linux distribution and 25MB of netscape stuff just to view the web :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

4.8-PRE upgrade to 5.0 problems
Hi. I cvsuped to FreeBSD 5.0 and i followed the instructions given in /usr/src/UPDATING. buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel went fine. Ok, i had to do a lot of changes in my kernelconfig to get it built and installed, but it went without a major problem. So, i switched to single user mode to do a mergemaster -p and an installworld. With installworld i got these errors: [So that was my fault, i misunderstood UPDATING and thought that i have only to switch from multi user to single user (i did not see the reboot ;))] Checking to see if your booted Kernel is fresh enough.. /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/sh/sh -c 'echo Testing installed kernel fpr new sigaction(2) syscall' pid 60424/sh),uid0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) Bad system call (core dumped) ***Error code 140 Stop in /usr/src ***Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src Well, ok, i read the first line and booted my machine, so that the new Kernel can boot. Also if the machine will not boot correctly i will fall to single user mode. This happend. Back in single user mode i did a second installworld, and, surprise surprise, it worked without errors. Ok, i rebooted the machine. So, now on bootup i get these messages: link_elf: symbol lminor undefined link_elf: symbol splhigh undefined And if i want to login, i get these: login: $MYNAME login:in openpam_load_module(): no pam:skey.so found login:pam_start(): failed to load module I cant login. So, does this mean, some modules are missing? And how do i get the system back running perfectly? And, a third error message appears on boottime: Warning: userland calling deprecated sysctl, please rebuild world Well, i booted the machine back in single user mode, mount all the devices, and did a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, mergemaster and installworld again. The result? The same errors, plus something other i did not recognize the first time (but was there): When i use /usr/sbin/mergemaster -p i cant scroll the passwd down with the arrow keys. If i open a config file with the vi, it looks a bit strange, i cant move around in there and the config stuff is not one by line, it looks a bit shaked. If i run /usr/sbin/mergemaster after installworld, i get an error can't cd to /usr/src/etc. Strange. So, any help out there? Thanks in advance. asg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I have licenses for both the native and Linux versions. Another reason to use the Linux version is that there are more plugins available for Linux than FreeBSD. You can also try the Linux version 7 preview, which is not yet available in a FreeBSD native version. It's a preview, so not all capabilities are working, but it does have a perfectly serviceable mail and newsreader in the 4.7MB download.

loading ipfw module without default-deny
Hello, I want to: kldload ipfw.ko but I am not near the physical machine, and cannot type in an allow rule after loading the module - by default all traffic will be denied. How can I load the ipfw.ko module but not knock myself off the network ? My only thought was to put an `ipfw add` rule into a cron job to run one minute after I load the module, but that seems silly :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

kw:printing, usb, epson photo stylus 1270...
Howdy, folks. I'm wishing, I am, to get an Epson Photo Stylus 1270 working on a USB port. I know the connection is working due to output. However, the output is not what I want. It's garbage. I created a simple printcap entry by cloning an existing entry and changing the parameters appropriately. However, I am not doing any filtering before the signal goes on the wire to the printer. (It's been a while since I last got this working under FBSD and Linux and I can't remember what I did. In fact, I can't find my notes either which I'm pretty good about keeping.) So,..., when I print from GIMP I would get pages and pages of junk rather than a graphic image. I setup the GIMP to print to appropriate device (Epson Photo Stylus 1270), paper quality, print quality, etc. And viola. Junk. Now I print to file and examine contents. Well, it's sure not Postscript. I send this to the printer directly by copying it to the USB port. Junk. Okay, now I trying sending a plain text file to the device. Nothing. Now I'm wondering if I should be filtering the output before sending it to the printer. You help, of course, if more than appreciated. It's invaluable. Thanks.

Re: 4.3 - RELENG_4
Basically: Update your source with cvsup read /usr/src/UPDATING and follow any instructions required (I believe you'll need to manually create the relatively new sendmail users) Reveiw you kernel config file to see if any options have changed since 4.3 make buildkernel make installkernel reboot if the reboot doesn't go well, boot kernel.old and copy it to /kernel to get back to 4.3 make buildworld make installworld Ok, I have cvsup'ped successfully, upon buildkernel I get: Error: version of config does not match kernel! config version = 400018, version required = 400019 I understand that I am doing oposite of what the handbook says by installing a new kernel first, but is there a way to get around the out of date config problem so I can proceed in this 'backwards' approach? Not that I know of, and you've just started to uncover problems with doing things backwards. You really need to do the buildworld first. You can - in fact, should - leave the installworld until after the new kernel is booted. Thanks greatly for the advice! I will attempt to do a buildworld now, and I can actually understand why this is. I can also see that I *should* have a backdoor prior to installworld. In the meantime, I did (thankfully) find a 4.3 cd that the previous admin had left (with no label or anything of course) and have installed it onto a scrap unit. It is in cvsup mode right now, updating source. I am going to gamble on the buildworld on my production amanda box first, as this is at least not mission critical, and I can afford to lose this one for a day. Things are looking very hopeful for my first real attempt at upgrade, and the things I am learning about the src structure and the way the FreeBSD source tree works is great! I recently built a cvs server for my own production, but now I actually understand cvs and branching at a whole new level! Tks again for such great user support and for an OS that nothing can even compare to.

create the entry
firewall_script=/etc/ipfw.rules?
Why are you confused?
That depends on what you're trying to do and what
the contents of
/etc/ipfw.rules are. There are currently the
following ways to set up
a completely custom set of firewall rules:
1. Rewrite /etc/rc.firewall
This can easily be done, if you replace
/etc/rc.firewall with your
custom script. This isn't recommended though
since you'd have to
carefully track all changes to the official
version of the
rc.firewall script and merge any interesting
stuff back to your
version of the script.
2. Add a new firewall type to rc.firewall
Copying one of the existing firewall types you
cann easily add a
new one, and make sure that it loads all (and
only) the ipfw(8)
rules that you want. This can be difficult to
keep up to date
after changes to the rc.firewall script, but not
as difficult to
keep up to date as option #1.
3. Write your own version of a firewall script
Copy `rc.firewall' to a new script (i.e.,
`rc.firewall.local') and
make your changes to the new script. Then set
firewall_script to
point to the new script in `/etc/rc.conf'. For
example:
% cat /etc/rc.firewall.local
fwcmd=/sbin/ipfw
${fwcmd} -q flush
${fwcmd} add 1 pass ip from any to any
% grep firewall_script /etc/rc.conf
firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall.local
This is a fairly nic way of doing things, but it
doesn't work
correctly if you want to tweak the way ipfw(8) is
called by
settings things like firewall_quiet=YES in your
`rc.conf' file.
Mostly because the logic for all those
firewall_xxx options is
implemented as part of the existing `rc.firewall'
script.
4. Create a ruleset file, and point rc.firewall to
it
You can always write your own set of firewall
rules, without a
${fwcmd} prefix, and save it to a file, i.e.
`/etc/ipfw.rules'.
This is a plain text file that contains *only*
firewall rules.
No shell commands. You can use `#' for comments
(as shown in the
sample file below):
% cat /etc/ipfw.rules
flush
add allow ip from any to any
Then you just need to make sure that your
`rc.conf' contains the
following two lines:
firewall_enable=YES
firewall_type=/etc/ipfw.rules
The firewall_type value is the *FULL* path to the
ruleset file. It
is important to include the leading `/'
character. This way,
ipfw(8) will know that this is the path of a rule
file and not the
name of a command (like `add' in `ipfw add ...').
This is the way I usually prefer setting ipfw(8)
up. For various
reasons. One of them is that my firewall rules
are not lost in
between the lines of some shell script that I
don't remember I have
edited. Another reason is that having made no
changes to the
original `rc.firewall' script, there is no need
to take care for
merging changes later with mergemaster(8).
Phew. This was long.
GREAT Explanation. The difference in using
firewall_script and firewall_type ought to be outlined
in the Handbook.

Re: SmartCards
I have been wondering if there is any SmartCard RW support in FreeBSD and is some body using a SmartCard RW at the moment (would be nice if he could tell me the brand) since I wan't too set upp a secure logging thing that will need a 1024bit auth key (located on the SmartCard) to logging in (I had this wacky idea ;) Well anyway if there is SmartCard support, and somebody is using a SmartCard RW on FreeBSD and has the time too let me know wich brand it would be neat. Here you will find one application using SmartCard: http://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html At www.tapr.org you will find a nice Smart Card interface as well as info on different smart cards.

At this point, nothing on your running system has changed. You can buildworld and buildkernel on a live system without affecting its operation.

I've done it, so don't think that all is lost if something goes wrong, it's just that it's probably easier to reinstall the system and restore from backup. There's a step that I left out: mergemaster. Mergemaster creates a temporary copy of the files that belong in /etc. (make a backup of /etc before running mergemaster) and then allows you to selectively install whatever files you need. It goes through each file that should be in /etc, compares it to what is currently in /etc and tells you whether it needs updated or not. This is the most difficult and easiest step to screw up. If you install the new /etc/passwd, for example, you'll lose any users you've added, so you'll probably want to merge that file in. Some other examples are /etc/printcap, /etc/group, /etc/hosts. On the other hand, there are some startup scripts in /etc that you almost always want to update, such as /etc/rc, and everything in /etc/defaults. This is why it's so important to backup /etc before using mergemaster, so you can easily back out of a mistake. Using mergemaster is important! Don't skip this step.

HP ScanJet 4100C and FreeBSD
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've recently set up a FreeBSD box for my father to replace his old windows stuff. Everything worked fine until i got to setup his scanner, a HP ScanJet 4100C. It is an USB scanner, and i can't get FreeBSD to recognize it :-( The USB ports in the computer are working fine as far as i can tell. I can plugin a webcam in either port and it gets recognized both by the kernel and when executing usbdevs. But when i plug in the scanner, usbdevs only reports addr 0, should never happen!. After a short while, i get the error uhub0: Device problem, disabling port X. When the scanner is plugged in during bootup, the kernel hangs for a few seconds after detecting the USB hub and then continues after printing the exact same message. But, though i have since been unable to reproduce it, yesterday i got it recognized for a very brief moment. I plugged the scanner in and it correctly got recognized as an Hp ScanJet 4100C, and i even had a message that uscanner0 was assigned to it. A few seconds later, it stopped working again with device problem. I searched the web and some mailing list archives and found one message back from 2001 when someone reportet the exact same problem. The only reply he got was something along the lines of FYI: My USB-serial converter does the exact same thing . I should mention that the same scanner works perfectly in windows, so the device itself can't be defect, nor the cables, power supply etc. Can Anyone help me ? I am running 5.0-RELEASE on this box (recently cvsup'ed) and have compiled my own kernel with all necessary USB options. The behaviour was the same in 4.7-RELEASE, though... both with the respective GENERIC and my own kernels. Any help/solution/workaround would be greatly appreciated, since my father NEEDS his scanner and i can't just swap it for another device. And i would HATE to revert back to a M$ solution. Thank you very much in advance ! Please put me into the CC: line of any answer as i don't subscribe to this list.

RE: Mirroring/load-balance two servers
Does anyone know if there is a simple way to mirror two servers without spending $ on hardware? I'm NOT talking about mirroring the OS and the files, I'm talking about sending http requests to a second server if the first server is down/un-reachable. This is sometimes referred to as load-balancing. The second server doesn't have to be updated in realtime, it just needs to have a fairly current version of the data files of the main server. So, for example if the main server goes off line for any reason, then web pages would be served up from the second server instead. Can this be accomplished with DNS? To my knowlege, yes. Lets say you had a server called www. You would just give it two addresses in your domain configuration files. www IN CNAME 12.34.56.78 www IN CNAME 9.10.11.12 www IN CNAME 65.4.3.21 The DNS standard will give out a different address for every query. To get the address 12.34.56.78 twice, you would have to make 4 unique queries for the server records. One good example of this is to look at www.yahoo.com in nslookup. Default Server: localhost.jupiter.sol Address: 127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com Server: localhost.jupiter.sol Address: 127.0.0.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name:www.yahoo.akadns.net Addresses: 216.109.125.73, 216.109.125.70, 64.58.76.223, 216.109.125.72 216.109.125.67, 216.109.125.65, 216.109.125.66, 64.58.76.227, 64.58.76.228 216.109.125.71, 64.58.76.230, 216.109.125.69, 64.58.76.225 Aliases: www.yahoo.com Jonas Fornander - System Administrator Netwood Communications, LLC - www.netwood.net Find out why we're better - 310-442-1530 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
anon ftp

Is this a big concern? It also outlines a way to prevent uploads from being downloaded - I do not necessarily want to go this far. What I'd really like to do is to allow the current/actual uploader to do anything to his uploaded files and directories, but to allow only downloading by all other anonymous FTP users (including himself on another connection). I see I can set various flags on ftpd to disallow uploading and downloading for anon users altogether, but that's not my goal. Anyone? Thanks.

One of the tips was to give small IP-packages (64 bytes and less) a high priority. According to the article this will result in an improved behaviour when up- and downstream are both busy at the same time. As i suffer exactly this problem, i would like to try it out on FreeBSD 5. As i can not find what the command would be in FreeBSD - and if it is even supported, i hope some of you FreeBSD / Linux guys can help me out. Here is the Linux command: # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o ppp0 -p tcp -m length --length # :64 -j MARK --set-mark 12 The comlete script can be downloaded here: http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/02/24/224/ What would be the options in FreeBSD? Thanx! Hiho! :-) First of all, sorry for answering that late, i forgot about your mail for some time and remembered it just recently. You need both dummynet (the freebsd traffic shaper) and ipfw (firewall) to do this. And i strongly suggest that you do a man ipfw and read through it, else you won't really understand what the firewall rules do :-) If you have not enabled both of them in your kernel, you need to do so. options are: options IPFW2 (might be obsolete in 5.0) options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE (optional) options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100(optional) options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT(optional) options DUMMYNET options HZ=1000 I'd also suggest to do a man ipfw and read through the whole thing, its really worth it. After you've installed the new kernel, you need to create a config file for ipfw which tells it to give high priority to the small ( 64 byte) tcp packets. Mine looks like this: pipe 1 config bw 132kbit/s queue 10kbyte This creates a dummynet pipe which bandwidth is approximately equal to the max. adsl upstream, the queue 10kbyte part tells it to create a 10kbbyte packer-buffer for that pipe (I'v not really figured out yet what the optimal buffer size is, this size works fine for normal traffic but you might run into latency-problems if you play online games). queue 1 config weight 50 pipe 1 add 597 queue 4 ip from me to any src-port 41000-42000,21,20 out This creates a dummynet queue which is linked to a pipe and is used to give certain priority to the traffic sent through the pipe linked to the queue. The priority is given through the weight value command. value can be anything from 1 to 100. The higher the value, the higher the priority. Traffic piped through this queue has a high priority (50), so this is the pipe that will be used for the small tcp-packets Ok, now you need to create a second queue to pipe the normal upstream through (ftp traffic, p2p, whatever other traffic there is :-) ). Naturally, you want to give this traffic a lower priority than the tcp-control-packets. (i gave it priority 1, but i believe higher values up to 10 would also work). queue 2 config weight 1 pipe 1 # ftp traffic out Ok, now comes the tricky part. You've to tell the firewall (ipfw) which kind of packets are to be sent to the queues. add 550 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 46 out add 551 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 47 out add 552 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 48 out add 553 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 49 out add 554 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 50 out add 555 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 51 out add 556 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 52 out add 557 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 53 out add 558 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 54 out add 559 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 55 out add 560 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 56 out add 561 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 57 out add 562 queue 1 ip from me to any iplen 58

pom(6) doesn't accept date arguments whereas NetBSD's does
I've compared the versions of pom(6) on FreeBSD and NetBSD (which is
also the one installed on Debian GNU/Linux), and the NetBSD one accepts
a date argument. Why hasn't this version been imported into FreeBSD? I
can see nothing in terms of licensing (or anything else for that matter,
including a mailing list archive search for relevant issues) which would
prevent it from being directly imported, without any changes to anything
else in the build system. I've used it as a drop-in replacement on my
system without difficulty. I've also thought of making a separate port
of it, but it'd be much easier to just have it as part of the base
system (no, it's not installed by the freebsd-games port). For those who
are curious, the NetBSD version may be obtained at

installation question/problem
I wrote an earlier thread with regards to installing via CD-ROM. Unfortunately I think I have a hardware technical problem that's beyond my intellect at this point. (Get a FAILURE error when the boot process starts - the CD hadn't even started humming yet) I've started the installation process a couple of times with the floppies. In fact, I must have something on the computer (meaning FreeBSD of some sort) after having used the 'kern' and 'mfsroot' disks. My question is, Do you need to load all the distribution files when it asks you to, or is the OS actually on my system at this point, and I just don't know what the heck (censored) I'm doing. My problem with the distribution downloads is I apparently have a couple of bad disks, and each time the system finds that it can't access one of the files, it shuts down the loading process. I've finally gotten smart and have vtty2 on the monitor so I can see which disk goes awry, but this doesn't make the process go any easier, since when the loading stops, I have to start the distribution download all the way from the beginning again. Is there anyway to start the distribution download process where it last left off? (This is why I was hoping the CD-ROM route would work - unfortunately NOT!!) I hate beating myself up over this process, but I'm beginning to feel like the ULTIMATE NEWBIE with this. Someone toss me a preserver.

Re: bandwidth prioritization

You need both dummynet (the freebsd traffic shaper) and ipfw (firewall) to do this. And i strongly suggest that you do a man ipfw and read through it, else you won't really understand what the firewall rules do :-) If you have not enabled both of them in your kernel, you need to do so. options are: options IPFW2 (might be obsolete in 5.0) options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE (optional) options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 (optional) options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT (optional) options DUMMYNET options HZ=1000 I'd also suggest to do a man ipfw and read through the whole thing, its really worth it. After you've installed the new kernel, you need to create a config file for ipfw which tells it to give high priority to the small ( 64 byte) tcp packets. Mine looks like this: pipe 1 config bw 132kbit/s queue 10kbyte This creates a dummynet pipe which bandwidth is approximately equal to the max. adsl upstream, the queue 10kbyte part tells it to create a 10kbbyte packer-buffer for that pipe (I'v not really figured out yet what the optimal buffer size is, this size works fine for normal traffic but you might run into latency-problems if you play online games). queue 1 config weight 50 pipe 1 add 597 queue 4 ip from me to any src-port 41000-42000,21,20 out This creates a dummynet queue which is linked to a pipe and is used to give certain priority to the traffic sent through the pipe linked to the queue. The priority is given through the weight value command. value can be anything from 1 to 100. The higher the value, the higher the priority. Traffic piped through this queue has a high priority (50), so this is the pipe that will be used for the small
dd *very* slow (0.5KB/s) from IDE to SCSI - longish
SUMMARY: I'm trying to transfer a working 4.7-RELEASE from an IDE disk to a SCSI disk using dd, but transfer of 3GB will take ~16 hours :o( uname -a: FreeBSD aaa.bbb.ccc 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 9 15:08:34 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 (PII 300MHz Digital 3500 workstation, 384MB RAM.) Some device details: IDE: ad2 Western Digital 3GB (couldn't route cable to primary IDE) ata1-master UDMA33 acd0 Toshiba CD-ROM ata0-master PIO4 SCSI: ahc0 Adaptec 2940 Host Adapter (ID7) sa0 Sony SDT-5000 3.31 (DDS2 DAT drive) 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8) (ID6) da0 Western Digital 4360 4GB hard disk 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15), Tagged Queueing Enabled (ID0) The original install was done on ad2, then I came by the SCSI drive and wanted to do a Ghost-style replication and just use the SCSI disk. After performing a full scan and low-level format of the SCSI disk from the adapter BIOS, I started a CD install (to quickly auto-setup the partitions/slices), and then aborted (system reset) once the partitions were defined and the disk was bootable (I think), and transfer of the OS from the CD had begun. Now I'm booting to my IDE drive again (no probs). I had hoped to mount the slices (partitions?) one by one on ad0 to /mnt, delete any contents the install had written before the abort, and copy the files over from ad2, but I couldn't mount them (errors either 'incorrect super block' or 'Operation not permitted'). I dropped that idea, but I'd read a post somewhere about dd, I tried... dd if=/dev/ad2 of=/dev/da0 ...now the IDE activity LED has been on solid for about 4hours The dd command was run straight after boot, top says: uptime 4hrs; dd TIME 3m40s (and slowly rising); dd STATE ~95% in PHYSST, 5% RUN; dd CPU steady around 0.9% (only other running process is top) iostat -w 1 da0 ad2 says: 0.50KB/transfer at 120 tps for da0 and ad2 (Steady, exact same figures for both so the data *is* moving). Impractical, so ctrl-c dd: 1825499+0 records in 1825498+0 records out 934654976 bytes transferred in 15275 secs (61185 bytes/sec) ...about 900MB has transferred Can you tell me... 1) Why the transfer is so slow? 2) What the process state 'physst' is (some kind of wait state)? 3) A better way to 'Ghost' the drive? (Couldn't get g4u diskette to boot; and even if dd works I'll have 1GB unused on da0, I think?) Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hello ! I tried to install FreeBSD on my computer, but I failed in the worst way I could: I didn't take serious your advise to back-up my data... Well, I tried to install FreeBSD on a partition on my IDE drive. I must say that I had 4 partitions on a harddrive with 20GB. I used fdimage to make the two floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp). I started the intallation process with kern.flp, then with mfsroot.flp and I entered in sysinstall. I begun a standard installation and I created a slice (after I made unused a DOS partition). Then I installed the FreeBSD boot manager (this is the only thing working know) and I tried to install the minimal distributions from a DOS partition. I downloaded from ftp server the entire subdirectory base from the 5.0 release directory and I copied into C:\FreeBSD. The installation ended soon with this message: Error mounting /dev/ad0s3 on /dist: operation not supported by device(19) After I clicked on OK buton, another message appeared: Unable to initialize selected media. Would you like to adjust your media configuration and try again? Another thing: the first kernel configuration menu did not appear; that's why I did not configured any of the drivers. My questions are: What should I do ? Is there a list with all the files (and what are they doing) and directories needed for installation? - I must say that all the documentation (the handbook) I downloaded is gone...and I'm using just a dial-up connection.

bootup without keyboard connected
I am trying to build my kernel on v5.0 as I did on my v4.5 so that it can bootup without a keyboard connected and wont unload the keyboard driver. This is so I can connect a keyboard on the running system and it will work. I successfully did it by removing the flags for the atkbd which forces the unload if no keyboard is found. But the new kernel configuration on v5.0 is different and I can't figure out how to accomplish the same thing. V5.0 doesn't seem to be documented much and therefore I wasn't able to quickly figure out how the new configuration works. I'm sure it has to do with using the *.hints file though but my tries didn't work. Help! = - Grant Conklin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.conkkids.com/ - __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Unfortunately I think I have a hardware technical problem that's beyond my intellect at this point. (Get a FAILURE error when the boot process starts - the CD hadn't even started humming yet) I've started the installation process a couple of times with the floppies. In fact, I must have something on the computer (meaning FreeBSD of some sort) after having used the 'kern' and 'mfsroot' disks. My question is, Do you need to load all the distribution files when it asks you to, or is the OS actually on my system at this point, and I just don't know what the heck (censored) I'm doing. To get clear what happens: 1) You push in your two installation floppies, 2) they are booted from 3) and you reach /stand/sysinstall Main Menu . 4) You select Standard installation and then? Regards, Uli. My problem with the distribution downloads is I apparently have a couple of bad disks, and each time the system finds that it can't access one of the files, it shuts down the loading process. I've finally gotten smart and have vtty2 on the monitor so I can see which disk goes awry, but this doesn't make the process go any easier, since when the loading stops, I have to start the distribution download all the way from the beginning again. Is there anyway to start the distribution download process where it last left off? (This is why I was hoping the CD-ROM route would work - unfortunately NOT!!) I hate beating myself up over this process, but I'm beginning to feel like the ULTIMATE NEWBIE with this. Someone toss me a preserver.
