Re: Mount an iso image? (simplest way?)
At Tue, 24 Apr 2007 it looks like Apatewna composed: O/H Kris Kennaway ??: That is a Linux command? Kris Whoaaa, wasted bandwidth! You are right, I'll archive the correct commands for future reference. Being on both systems alot, one wishes they had a port for that module whereas one could just type the shortest command. I see Linux ports everywhere else in FreeBSD-6.2, what's one more right?

Back in the Solaris 8 days, the trick was to use fdisk to create a primary partition and mark it as type 'Linux Swap' after which Solaris would happily recognise it as a location to install into. Quite how it happened that Solaris uses the same partition type as Linux swap is shrouded in the mists of time. (giggle) If I recall correctly, there was some hacking to do too if you were dual-booting Solaris and Linux on the same disk for Solaris would try on use your whole Linux filesystem as its own swap location. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A second drive of course would somewhat give some relief for this install. I have, one a few of my boxes here, a BIOS enabled F8 key for selecting which disk to boot off of.

ifconfig wi0 10 number HEX key arg ?
Hello Family, I'm on a wifi network where all the other Unix(like) and Windows laptops seem to be able to pass a ten (10) digit number as the hex key. In the ifconfig manpage for FreeBSD-6.1 it states, under the stanza for wepkey that the number must be 5 or 13 chars long. The number that is being used for the 10 digit key is: 1466466946 So, I've tried numerous calc's to see if I can convert this to a HEX, 5 or 13 char output and was wondering if I'm missing something. Of course, when WEP is turned off the wireless nic works find. Orinoco_Gold card.
