Re: Fw: help with installation of 6.2 release i386 on older HP desktop
Try to burn a new cd/dvd and burn it at a lower speed. It might be that the cd/dvd isn't 100%. cheers On Mon, 2008-01-07 at 00:17 -0800, Joseph Eaton wrote: More precisely.

I am a newbie trying to install FreeBSD for the first time. I have an HP desktop computer with 64MB of SDRAM, a 12 GB hard drive and a Pentium II processor running at 333 MHz. I am trying to put FreeBSD 6.2 on this machine but have not had any luck. I've read the documentation, but stil can't seem to figure out what to do. I downloaded the ISO mage for the bootonly disk and checked that it using checksum.md5, then burned a disk image using InfrRecorder to a fresh CD-R. I set the bios on my HP to boot from the CDROM drive and put the disk in. It walks me through the installation process but never gives me a chance to exit. I select the Standard installation but get stuck shortly thereafter when I try to tell it to use the option to set up for a single user using the X-Window system. It won't let me select multiple elements like bin and library. I get stuck and then it never completes and won't let me out of the setup screen series. Please let me know if I am not providing enough information above. I welcome any help. Thanks. Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now. Never miss a thing.

nvidia driver 96.43.05 crashes Xorg
When I updated my ports lately the nvidia driver got updated. Since then I can't use openGL screensavers without crashing Xorg. nvidia driver is 96.43.05 Xorg server 1.4.0 (FreeBSD 7.0-Release) Do I have to downgrade to 96.43.(01?) again or is there a solution? /peo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for your reply Dan. Is there any reason you're not using the latest driver? It's up to 169.12 now (x11/nvidia-driver) According to nvidia homepage it doesn't support my chip, which is GForce4 420MX. Did you remember to update the nVidia driver port /after/ everything else? If not, it's possible, depending on what other ports you upgraded, you've got GL and GLX libs from somewhere other than the driver port. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Dan According to the log it was using Xorg's glx module... Fixed that, since then I haven't had the problem :-).
