Install FreeBSD, and put the disk in a other computer...
Hi, Just wanted to know if there are any problem in installing FreeBSD in one computer and then take the disk and put it in a other computer? I want the setup the new system first, before taking the old down, but its the same computer thats suppose to run the new system. I have a spare computer i will install on first, and then just change the disk. Conveting from OpenBSD - FreeBSD Except for system dependent kernel options, are there any thing that I should be aware of? And one other question, how does people backup a Maildir structure, tar/gz and just move the fil away from the system? afterwards its just hard to find the deleted mail cause the names in Maildir are odd. I havent found any good answers to this on google best regards Syska ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dell Inspiron 2500 fxp0 problems, hangs/freeze
Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 2500 with a intel network adapter on. It hangs in the boot up process, but if I disable acpi i can boot up into the install menu set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 But heres the problem. When i tries to asign a ip either via dhcp or manualy, it hangs if the cable are plugged in... There are some options on it, vlanmtu i have tried to remove it and did the asigned a ip, but it hangs when I plug in the cable :-( Now i'm lost, what are my options? any one got the same problem? Its FreeBSD 6.0rc1, but the same happens with 5.4, 5.3, 4.11 etc. Once I got a old 4.8 installed. so i know is has worked. best regards me ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
