IT Question

2011-08-17 Thread Charlie Leonard 
Hi Webmaster,

I run an Information Technology website 
http://www.informationtechnologydegree.com. 
I spent some time earlier today looking through the resource links 
listed on your site, and I thought you would like to know I found a broken 
link on this page:
http://freebsd.isu.edu.tw/es/news/press.html

This is the broken link I came across:
http://www.data.com/

When you get a chance to fix this broken link, if you find an open 
spot for a link to my site, http://www.informationtechnologydegree.com, I 
would certainly appreciate it.  I believe my site is one of the largest 
actively maintained resources listing accredited schools offering an IT 
degree.  
Thanks for taking a look!

Re: How much disk space required for make release?

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions.  I ended up creating a

It's not completely finished yet, but has certainly progressed much

Correct. I think the "Beatie menu" appeared in the 5.X branch
of FreeBSD. It can still be disabled (by means of loader.conf),
so the default action to interrupt after the 1st boot stage
is still a valid method.

If you interrrupted too early, just pressing Enter for the
defaults is okay:

POST finished...

[space][space][space][space]

boot: [Enter]

[space][space][space][space]

Ok
boot -s <- this starts into single user mode

In case there console is not marked as "insecure", there won't
be any further password requests and you'll successfully reach
a root prompt:

Nice to be able to see that.  Which client ?
Do you know it get that ? Maybe it adds size of each file together ?

( I was using /usr/bin/ftp )

WinSCP on a Windows desktop.

In ports there is ftp/lftp, which has a du command.

I don't know how they get the value, assume they do just that: ls each  
directory and add up.

Not a direct answer, but after installation from the DVD you have, you
can easily install any package from the ftp site by running 

pkg_add -r

Rui, 
in case that's not clear enough, DVD are too Small

Raw media sizes
DVD self burnable media : 4.7 G   http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/txt/cdroms.html
Commercial bulk (film/movie) DVDs : 9 G.
Blu ray, (rare expensive) : [2 x] 25 Gig  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc

ftp protocol does not support command du, so one can't see size of
ftp://ftp.freebsd.orgpub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/All/

All ports install their headers there.

Of course there is not because no media appropriate to an ISO image could

Hi,

I want to install FreeBSD for the first time but I have some doubts  
regarding the ISO images.


I have downloaded an ISO image (FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso)  
via torrent, but soon realised that the packages collection was very  
poor when compared to "ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ 
i386/8.2-RELEASE/packages/"


Is there any complete ISO image that includes all the packages I saw  
in "ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.2-RELEASE/ 
packages/"? That would be really nice.


Thank you ;)

Rui Silva

I don't recall there was a boot loader menu in FreeBSD 4.x
Just interupt boot by pressing a key, giving you the OK prompt. Then boot -s
to go to single user mode (if that's what you want)
