Hi there, I wouldn't think so 'cos FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 6.X. FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 5.3. Their last release was on December 6, 2004 (5.3 came out in November), so it can't be 6.X. If you want 5.3 or 5.4 then why not just do a normal installation ?? From their FAQ: --- Is there a way to install FreeSBIE on my HD ? Yes ! Since FreeSBIE 1.1 it's possible to use the BSDInstaller to install FreeSBIE on your hard drive, and then turn it into FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE by means of cvsup --- But I would do what Gavin said and do a real install of 5.4. It's really not hard. :) Huge apologies for giving you the wrong info there Mark, I was thinking of another live distro. FreeSBIE is pretty cool though. I looked at that FAQ now and it says you can upgrade to 5.3 by using ports. Do you know how the ports collection works? I think the ports is the best way of managed packaged and programs that I have ever seen. Maybe you can do as you were wanting to. Once again, sorry for the mis-information.

Re: Unable to install 5.4 from CDROM
Mark Jones wrote: I'm having an odd problem installing 5.4 release from CDROM. The machine is an HP ProLiant DL145. It didn't come with a CDROM drive, I borrowed one from a Dell PowerEdge SC1425. The CDs are good, I've installed on other machines with them - in fact, on the same machine that I borrowed the CDROM from. I can boot from the CD with no problem. I go through sysinstall all the way through the part where I select what sources to install. Sysinstall writes the MBR and fsck's the drive with no problem. But then when it goes to install the source and packages from CD, it says it can't read the CD. Any idea what's going on here? Hi Mark, Some cdrom drives read better than others and some read well only when they want to. It sounds like it could be one of two things:- * Either your cdrom drive is fsckedor near about. * Or you have a dodgy copy of 5.4. Did you analyse the MD5 Checksum ?? Is the cdrom drive connected to the IDE channel, or is it SCSI. Have you tried another cdrom drive? The other option would be to get the 5.4 BOOT disk, boot from it and install via the net. Hope you come right. Regards, Gavin -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: change mediaopt of NIC to full-duplex
Thanks to all for the helpful replies and pointers, I thought it would have been more complicated than just editing a config file so I was looking in the wrong places.

change mediaopt of NIC to full-duplex
Hi there, I need to set my network cards (Intel Pro 1000) to full-duplex. I tried using ifconfig with the mediaopt option which worked, but only temporarily. I then downloaded mii-tool 'cos it wasn't in the ports collection but it just gives me critical errors when I try to compile it. Is there possibly another method that I can use on my FreeBSD server to permanently change my NIC settings to full-duplex?

Who can help me with ISO's
Hi there, I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa and would like to know if there is anyone lurking in this list that could help me with making copies of the FreeBSD 5.4 ISO's. We suffer serious telecoms (bandwidth) disabilities in this country so its a bit of a mission downloading these files. I am willing to travel and will replace/supply the relevant CD-R's.

FreeBSD Training
Hi there, Does anyone know of a company in Johannesburg, South Africa that provides FreeBSD training courses? There is a fortune of FreeBSD documentation and books available on the web and could probably learn all there is to know in that manner. However, my Boss is keen to throw some fundage into a commercial training course that will enhance my knowledge and skills in areas relevent to our business model. So is there anything out there that caters for FreeBSD training in South Africa?
