Re: joining 2 files together ?

Quoted from beni on Thu, Aug 07, 2008 at 03:34:28PM +,:
 Hi,
 
 I am trying to find the equivalent for the old dos copy file1+file2 command
 (copy myfile1.txt+myfile2.txt copies the contents in myfile2.txt and 
 combines it with the contents in myfile1.txt).
 But the standard freebsd cp doesn't seem to want the + between the two 
 files :
 
 bsdaddict# cp file1.avi+file2.avi
 usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-alpv] source_file target_file
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-alpv] source_file ... 
 target_directory
 bsdaddict#
 
 So how to I append file2 at the end of file1 to get only one file ? To be 
 more 
 specific : I would like to merge 2 avi files into one. How do I get 
 file1.avi+file2.avi into file3.avi ?
 Thanks.

 Beni.

After joining avi files with cat, use mencoder to rebuild the index:

mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy infile.avi -o outfile.avi

Yup, you're right. And I do have device polling enabled in

scsi cdrom mounting problem

[Denny White]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


I was having the problem before upgrading from 5.4 to 5.5,
and now, after the upgrade, the problem persists. Now and
then, I can find a cd that'll mount, but most won't. Have
tried the ones that won't mount on this obsd box with atapi
instead of scsi  no problems. Googled around and searched
the archives for the error messages, but didn't find anything
to help so far. Read the man page on camcontrol and the warning
about using it, so checking with the list before I do anything
else. I did find one thing through google about the scsi delay
sometimes needing to be increased, and I made that change in
my kernconf before recompiling, but it didn't help. Tried
booting with kernel.debug just to see what would happen, and
it went smoothly, but this time there was no error message in
dmesg, except that it said there was no medium present, which
wasn't true. There was disk 1 of fbsd 5.5 install in the drive.
When I try to mount a cd, I get `cd9660: /dev/cd: Input/output
error' or sometimes, `device not configured'. Another thing that
confuses me is, I thought in /dev, besides cd0, that there would
be devices like on my obsd box, i.e., cd0a, cd0c, rcd0a, rcd0c,
and so forth. The only cd entry in my fbsd /dev is cd0. I read
some on MAKEDEV and saw that in fbsd 5, it's deprecated, replaced
by devfs. I thought maybe somehow, from some of my earlier upgrades,
that I had screwed up something with devices being created. Below
is some info I've gotten that I hoped would help.

Today Lowell Gilbert wrote:


Sorry; I don't have enough hair to spare. ;-)

What may be happening here is that cvsup itself is trying to change
the permissions to match the repository it updates from.  In that
case, problems from the underlying filesystem (which, I gather,
is ntfs, and doesn't support full privileges of NFS) might result in
errors.  Maybe you could try setting the filesystem ownership to the
user you run cvsup as?


Thanks for the reply. That was how I started it out to begin with.
Uid's match, keys, everything. The user doing the cvs to the nfs
share is doing it to a folder he owns on the winxp box. But, that
being said, I've finally got cvs working from cygwin there, now.
The only reason I can come up with for it not working properly
before is, I didn't have rsa keys generated in my home dir on
the winxp box. I generated the keys  got them around the lan
into all the authorized_keys files in order to be able to do
unattended rsync backups from my crontabs on each box. So now,
the backups are working  so is cvs on windows. Miracles never
cease! :-) Thanks again for answering, Lowell.

teTeX and portupgrade problem

[Denny White]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Got errors when running portupgrade last night, when it tried
to upgrade to teTeX-texmf-3.0_4. They're pasted in at bottom
of this message, checksum problems. I did as the output said
 ftp'd the file off the main FreeBSD ftp site, copied it to
/usr/ports/distfiles/  tried again. Same thing. Tried it from
numerous mirrors, but to no avail. I googled around  finally found

http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/CTAN/systems/unix/teTeX/current/distrib/

Downloaded both the port  the source files, put both of them in
/usr/ports/distfiles/teTeX  this time it went okay. I have no idea
what the hell was going on before.

I also checked the descr file, got the maintainer info,  followed the
link to www.tug.org./tetex. Bad news, it seems. Says the maintainer has
decided not to make new releases of teTeX anymore, as of May 2006.
Anyone know anything about it? Just wondering what will happen after
that with dependencies. Anyway, here's all the 'bs' below, mostly to
show the paths it tried to get files from  failed  to save others
the same headaches. A good portion of the output has been edited from
the scripted output file so it wouldn't go off the screen  could be
read. Hope this saves someone some work. Then again, it could just be
something askew in my system. ? Any feedback welcome. Just glad it's
upgraded  finished. Sorry for the length of the message. Once again,
just trying to help anyone who runs into the same mess.

When I see either this:

or this:

the quick, dirty, and effective 99% of the time solution is to
delete the tarball from /usr/ports/distfiles and try again.
(And it worked yesterday in exactly this case.)

I guess, if you know what you're doing, you can go
in with a disk editor, but not simple. And, like
another message said, depends on if the inodes have
been overwritten. And like the other post alluded to,
there's no replacement for a good backup. That being
said, I can tell you what I've done ever since I hosed
/usr one day accidentally, while in a pissed off mood
 not paying attention to the paths I was typing,  had
to do a restore (luckily I  had just done a full dump).
I hate it  it's aggravating, but it's saved me several
times from another restore, but in .bashrc I have:

alias rm='rm -i'

When you type rm whatever, it'll ask you if you're
sure.
Be sure. :-) And backup regularly.

Re: How to do a kernel dump?

Today Olivier Nicole spake forth boldly:

Hi,

I'd like to get a kernel dump when the machine panics.

I set-up dumpdev=/dev/rda0s1b in /etc/rc.conf.

My swap is:

amandaon41: swapinfo
Device  1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity  Type
/dev/rda0s1b  10484480  1048448 0%Interleaved

My memory is only 256 MB, so the swap is large enough to keep up to 4
dumps. But still no dump, no image created in /var/crash, the system
reboots in multi-user mode and period.

When I try savecore by hand I get:

savecore: reboot after panic: page fault
savecore: system went down at Thu Mar  2 01:13:26 2006
savecore: no dump, not enough free space on device (235544 available,
need 264924)

How should I understand that? Is it because I use the raw device (that
is not clear in the handbook).

System is:

FreeBSD amanda.cs.ait.ac.th 4.11-RELEASE-p14 FreeBSD

I've fought this for some time now. I've got samba installed,

Also, the file shows up on the xp box in the printspool, but
never prints.

Thanks. Got it installed but couldn't get it to work. Ran into
some real problems with what it did regarding my old Star 2410
dot-matrix printer. I shouldn't have fooled with that to begin
with. I had tried to set the old Star up with CUPS, but there
was no mention of a driver for it, or even the brand of printer.
I know some of the Epson drivers may work with it, but in the
meantime, I kept getting something sent to that printer, even
after I'd removed it from printcap  even rebooted. I fooled around
with the files I could find in /var/spool  downward, moved some
into a backup directory until I could get the old printer to
behave,  then started putting the files back. Afterward, cups
could no longer communicate with anything. I tried doing a
deinstall  reinstall, but the problem persisted. So, it's all
gone now, uninstalled. Will try again later with the other
solution I received in another post. Thanks for trying to help.
I think I've been eaten up by the dumbass in this issue. :)
I know others have trouble too, sometimes, setting up printing,
but I almost screwed my system up, just to print to a damned
winblows puter! :)

apsfilter question/problem

[Denny White]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


I read the article at Onlamp about printing for the impatient.
Installed apsfilter and samba on my old hp netserver so I'd
be able to print to an hp 722c deskjet printer connected to
an xp box. Gimp-print was also installed. Ghostscript was
already installed. I ran /usr/local/share/apsfilter/./SETUP
 thought I had it whipped. That's where the fun started.
Apparently I've missed something along the way, since the
print job never gets sent to the xp box. I also found out
at linuxprinting.org that the recommended hp 722c driver
is pnm2ppa. There was only one section in the install script
that mentioned that driver, 10) PPA printer, so I chose that.
It plugs it into the setup, but when I try to print a test
page, I get ERROR: additional filter 'pnm2ppa' not found.
I found the driver at linuxprinting.org  downloaded it.
How do I go about using it? Is there a way to compile it
into ghostscript? I have ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.07_14 
the apsfilter setup script found it  didn't complain.
Do I need to install another more complete version? I know
if I install ghostscript-afpl, I'll also have to recompile
 reinstall apsfilter with the proper make options. When
I choose the more generic just plain deskjet printer driver,
the script accepts it, and when I try to print a test page,
there's no complaining about the driver like when I try the
ppa driver. Test page is created, supposedly sent to the
xp printer with even a speed, average around 950 kb/s, but

Thanks for the answer, Mike. Will have to try working with
this when I get off work in the a.m. Have no idea how to
incorporate it with the smb stuff. I know that there's a
basic apsfilterrc in /usr/local/etc/apsfilter  then separate
apsfilterrc's for each individual printer in separate subdirs,
along with smbclient.conf. I've tried reading samba logs, 
/var/log/messages to try  figure out what I'm doing wrong.
This whole thing started because of me not wanting to have to
scp files to the xp box  then having to go there to physically
enter printer commands. Laziness prevailed. If I ever get this
working, it'll be worth it. In the meantime, I think it took
less energy walking. :)

Denny,

Samba3 is in the ports try that instead.




Thanks for the advice, Robert. Did it. Found the proper printer
driver  set it up. Took a long time to connect to an ftp server
that had it (in case someone else has to do the same thing, don't
cancel, it'll find a server eventually that has it). Apsfilter
is setup now. Still have to fiddle with Samba settings. Had it
setup once before a long time back when I was running FreeBSD
4.7, I believe, on my old laptop. It'll just take some patience
 tinkering. Thanks again for the help.

It just does, after you cvsup new ports cd into /usr/ports and type

Here is how I update my system (without using a 'make fetchindex')

 cvsup -g -L 2 /root/stable-supfile
 less UPDATING
 make buildworld
 make buildkernel
 make installkernel
 shutdown now
 cd /usr/src
 make installworld
 mergemaster
 shutdown -r now
 portsdb -Uu
 portversion -l 
 portupgrade -arR
 reboot

It takes forever, but it works everytime.  Everything else I've ever tried
has always had some kind of error, and I never know what they mean or what I
should do.

Maybe by never doing a fetchindex, I've never really updated my system, and
thats why its never had a problem, lol. That would be embarassing.

Do you have to power off the system before it will be responsive again or 
just kill portupgrade? Have you looked through the logs for any messages?
portupgrade v2.01,1...are you sure; that doesn't seem to correspond with my

Hi,
  I don't have to kill the system, just portupgrade. When i run portversion 
-l  it just hangs as well. A pkg_info shows portupgrade version 2.0.1,1.

Dave.




Been watching this thread. Ran my usual maintenance script which
ends up with portversion -l  and, if needed, portupgrade -arR
and portsclean -DP. It showed portupgrade needed upgrading again
from 2.0.0,1 to 2.0.1,1  upgraded it. Afterward, I had a couple
of stale dependencies, but not related to portupgrade. Fixed them.
Ran portversion again and, though it wasn't needed, portupgrade,
both with no problems. Since, at that point, nothing needed upgrading,
I still can't say for sure if the same problem described originally,
exists or not on my system, but I'm sure within a couple of days,
something will need upgrading. If portupgrade screws up, I'll reply
to this thread again. BTW, running FreeBSD_5_4 on an old HP Netserver.
I didn't see in this thread what version of FreeBSD the problem was
happening on. Wondering if it'd help on the system in question to run
portsdb -uUF and pkgdb -fu and try portversion and portupgrade again.
Hope some of this helps.

Today Andrew P. contributed the following:

1. You can limit docs to custom languages in
make.conf, that's a better way


Yup, did it already. I had just copied it word for
word to see how well it worked. Found it in Dru
Lavigne's at OReilly.



2. You can affor to copy extra 60Mb once a day,
can't you?


Don't quite follow on that. It's all downloaded.
Other langs aren't #'d out in the supfile, just
aren't installed. Time consuming, not about h/d
space.



3. You can grep cvsup output against something
like doc/


That's what I thought. Can't see grepping doc,
maybe update? Don't know quite how, tho. Don't
know enough about scripting yet, as I said. I
don't want to interrupt the cvsup process. I
thought about using tee  grep 'update' or
something to that affect in that secondary
output.



4. Never run portsnap fetch from cron, even if
you chose a very odd time, use portsnap cron



Yup, know about that, but thanks for the warning.
I have it setup like you said, in cron, for times
when I'm too lazy to run the entire script  instead,
just do it piecemeal.

Hello,

I'm looking for a good sed howto that can be useful for contributing to
ports collection. Replacing text is I'm especially interested in.
Besides, could somebody explain me, when we use USE_REINPLACE= YES and
${REINPLACE_CMD}, and when we use just ${SED}?


It isn't a HOWTO, but the best sed documentation I've ever read is in the
book ``Unix Text Processing'' by Dougherty and O'Reilly.  I think it's out
of print, but you can download it in PDF format from O'Reilly for free.  It
also has excellent documentation on quite a few other *nix utilities, and
is one of those books that I think should be on every *nix hackers
bookshelf along with Kernighan and Pike's ``Unix Programming Environment''.

Hey Lowell,
Thanks for replying. Funny thing is, after it installed
from ports, it didn't have the executable bit set on it.
I saw it complain when I was booting in dmesg, and that's
when I set it executable. Still want to learn how to use
it properly, so I didn't uninstall it. I just moved the
script out /usr/local/etc/rc.d so it won't start auto.
Thanks for the help.

If you can, try to boot mounting / read-only, at least you shouldn't get disk 
errors on that label then. But this may just be your disk degrading from bad 
to worse untill it's final death :-(


Do you get any READ_DMA or WRITE_DMA errors? I remember that there has been a 
lot of threads regarding disk errors the last month, try searching the 
archive for hints.


For example you should be able to lower throughput using ata_control, this 
may reduce problems.


Cheers, Erik



Very sorry for not answering earlier. Evacuated Biloxi 8/30 for
hurricane katrina. Back home now. Quite a mess here. I was able
to finally run fsck successfully, using a fbsd 5.3 live cd in
single user mode. Never had any success previous to that, just
booting the 5.4 system into single user  doing fsck. The box
has been running ok since I got back to the house and didn't
give me me any further problems until I started running my
update script again, which really just does some simple update
stuff. Cvsup's src, ports,  docs; installs new docs; fetches
new ports index  runs portsdb -u; runs portversion -l  
portaudit -Fda  exits. Only thing changed at all on the system
is the docs that are updated  the updated portsdb. Have had no
WRITE_DMA or READ_DMA errors. Only time anything got scrambled
up was after the initial power outage that started the problems,
but fsck reported everything salvaged  marked clean. I thought
best  simplest way to check for hardware problems, since the
box isn't a production system  is mostly just for learning 
surfing, was to run a live cd on it for a couple of days and
see if I get any reboots.? Definitely mount the h/d's too,
while doing so. Thanks for any further thoughts ideas on the
issue. Sorry again for the late answer.

the bsdpan-PathTools is how the ports are named when not building from 
the ports collection (from what i understand). my only solution (and it 
shouldn't take too much time) is to deinstall it and build from ports.

If you look above in the original message from me, you'll see
the list of ports that were installed when I overrode the setting
in pkgtools.conf, i.e., to not hold bsdpan stuff. That's what
hosed cpan for me. Now I'm stuck with that  no matter what I try
to do with cpan, I get the output that's listed above in the
original part of this message. There are some ports that won't
even install now, using portupgrade, due to this problem. I really
don't know where to go from here, unless maybe it's to cvsup RELENG_5
instead of just RELENG_5_4  try rebuilding everything.

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`avmilter',`S=inet:[EMAIL PROTECTED],F=R,T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m')

This is exactly from the antivir-milter documentation, and the only thing I
did afterwards was
make
make install
make restart
Since than, it's just working. Of course, I've set up a start script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d that enables avmilter at system startup. Do you
probably have some older version? Mine is using sockets, not a pipe.

Does your avmilter listen on some port? (Mine is using default, .)

Regards,
Martin

Okay, maybe the script avmilter.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
is the problem. If you issue the command in the MANUAL to
use port [EMAIL PROTECTED], it looks like this:

avmilter -p inet:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

But, here's the relevant portion from the script:


case $1 in
start)
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/avmilter ]; then
umask 0077
/bin/rm -f /var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock
/usr/sbin/daemon -f /usr/local/sbin/avmilter \
-P /usr/local/etc/avmilter \
-p local:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock 
umask 0022
echo -n  avmilter
fi
;;
stop)


So, theres no mention of it there. This has really got
me stumped! I checked /etc/make.conf  there's nothing
there except some stuff I put for when I'm updating
src  rebuilding. Nothing about sendmail.

antivir-milter question

[Denny White]

I've read the docs on antivir-milter, installed it,
set it up to verify downloaded updates with gpg,
tested it to see if it's checking mail with eicar,
 everything's working fine. Only thing is, I'd
like it to show in my messages that they've been
checked for viruses  I can't seem to get it do
that. I know that the AddXHeader setting only works
in commercial version, but it says if you set the
ModifySubject to YES that it'll show up, as I
understand it, appended to the subject. I did that
 restarted it but still no notice. Any ideas/help
appreciated.

Hm, I'm using the personal version of antivir-milter, installed it just a
few days ago - and for every checked mail, it puts a header like this in:
X-AntiVirus: checked by AntiVir Milter (version: 1.1.0-7; AVE: 6.31.1.0;
VDF: 6.31.1.54; host: theatre.sax.de)

I suspect that something else is wrong. Does your sendmail delegate the
mail to antivir-milter? Is it running? It should write some message into
your /var/log/mailog, here's an example.

Startup:

ug  3 17:20:05 theatre avmilter[16541]: listening on: inet:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Aug  3 17:20:06 theatre avmilter[16541]: engine version: 6.31.1.0
Aug  3 17:20:06 theatre avmilter[16541]: vdf version: 6.31.1.54

Aug  3 17:20:40 theatre sendmail[16570]: j73FKeek016570:

Later:

Aug  3 17:20:41 theatre sm-mta[16579]: j73FKfm7016579: Milter add: header:
X-AntiVirus: checked by AntiVir Milter (version: 1.1.0-7; AVE: 6.31
.1.0; VDF: 6.31.1.54; host: theatre.sax.de)

I didn't do anything except following the installation instructions, that
means, I've put the required m4 macro string into my mc file and rebuilt
the sendmail.cf. From that on, it was working instantly like a charm

Oh yes, and with the EICAR test signature it generates an alert mail to the
postmaster and puts the file into the rejected files directory (for my
installation, /var/spool/avmilter/rejected). The only thing I had to change
was the path to sendmail, in /etc/avmilter.conf it isn't set and the
default points to /usr/lib/sendmail - on FreeBSD that's /usr/sbin/sendmail.

Regards,
Martin

I had read where I needed to edit sendmail.mc but couldn't find
it. Then read the equivalent mc file for freebsd I needed to edit
was /etc/mail/freebsd.mc to which I added:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(
`antivir-milter',
`S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m'
)dnl

Then I did a `make install' to rebuild, what I thought, was
sendmail.cf, but it's looking like I was way off beam. Here's
what's in /var/mail/maillog:

Aug  3 01:54:15 dualman avmilter[80193]: listening on:

It's listening on local:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, so
apparently I've botched things up. Can you clear up for me
about the sendmail.cf? I googled around  read in the fbsd
mailing list. The best I could come up with was what I stated
earlier, that the file I needed to edit was freebsd.mc

Thanks for the answer. I went ahead  did a

I know this concerns the ports mailing list,

how long it usually takes before a port is
included on the mirrors once a problem has
been fixed with it.
I tried to install /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b

to install cdrdao which is currently version
1.1.9, I believe,  then failed, with message
saying there's a vulnerability.  There's a fixed

You can break-out of portupgrade -arRF anytime you like, it's only fetching
distfiles not upgrading anything. Normally portupgrade -Fa will fetch all the
file you needs, but portupgrade -FRa is a bit more thorough.

Really though you don't need to run with the -F option at all, unless you
can't build online or want to prefetch files. If it's  taking 40 hours
though, it probably means that your cache of files is badly out-of-date and
you are getting slow downloads - a clean pass that doesn't fetch anything
shouldn't take more than a hour.

I finally broke out of it. I waited until it had done
its cleaning  was starting to fetch more files. I did
a ls -alt on /var/db/pkg  it was definitely installing/
reinstalling ports. Won't do that again. :) I had wanted
to force the upgrade or downgrade, whatever, of several
held ports. Now I think maybe it had something to do with
me not updating perl the right way. My bad. I went back
 reread UPDATING  found what I had missed. I did a
man perl-after-upgrade  reread all of that too  followed
the instructions. Looks like everything's back to normal.
Thanks for the help.

Portmanager is a good way to bring your ports up-to-date, but it also rebuilds
all ports that depend on out-of date ports. It's a very slow process if you
have a slow machine and most of your ports were up-to-date already, but try
it for yourself.

Portupgrade does a pretty good job if you follow UPDATING, and use the gnome
script for major Gnome upgrades.

If you want to force the rebuilding of all your ports then see pkg_glob(1) and
portupgrade (1) for instructions on how to rebuild ports built after a given
timestamp, as this gives you a restartable method.

You shouldn't have any problems if you do that but kill it at the
beginning of the next build, not when it's cleaning.




Thanks so much for the personal speedy reply. I've worked
for a month getting this system to about where I want it,
 I hate to see it all go down the tubes. Sure glad you
straightened me out on when to break out, too. I see you
didn't put in a cc to freebsd-questions, so I guess I
won't either. After breaking out of the loop, what's the
best thing to do at that point? The only way I could come
up with to try to start is:
cvsup ports-supfile
portsdb -Uu
portversion -l 
portupgrade -arR (no F this time)


Just restart portupgrade without the F flag, it will pick-up where it left off.


If I can get things back right, I'll just learn to live
with the held ports. I never remember telling it to
hold anything,  it's probably pretty apparent I don't
understand as much as I should about portupgrade. I
learned what I know from Dru Lavigne's blogs at Oreilly,
 until I fat-fingered the F without thinking, it was
working okay, except for the held ports. Thanks again
for your help.

Held ports are listed in an array in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
Why I have any there beats me. I don't know enough about it yet to
be able to give an answer. There are times when portupgrade will
ask me questions about extra features in some port, but that's the
only interaction I remember having with the program while it was
running, as far as supplying answers to it. I never remember telling
it to hold anything. Wish someone could help me get this through
my thick noggin. :) I've been doing a lot of reading on it,  I see
where a lot of folks think you're better off deinstalling ports 
starting from scratch. Others prefer portsmanager, I think it's called. 
The reason I started using ports in the 1st place was to learn how to

add extra features to progs that aren't installed by default, as in
packages. Since I definitely ain't that sharp, I may start using pkgs
more  ports less. I'd rather have a smooth working install than the
power to wipe out my system  have to reinstall, at least until I
ever get up to speed on things. Thank you very much for the help.

I'm not a programmer, but I have read where the funroll-loops
can produce unstable code. And, I can attest to the fact that
my system complained about the other flags you've got there 
which I also tried to use, except for the cpu type. I had to
stop, do some house cleaning, delete the stuff out of make.conf,
 start over. Then everything went smoothly. And, as I said, I'm
not a programmer, but I sat  watched the build going on after
fixing make.conf,  I saw it using the same values, except for
funroll-loops, that I had had in make.conf. Go figure! I know
someone on this list can probably clear that up, as to why.
Meantime, I'd do what the other answer to your post said to do
 remove that stuff from make.conf  start over. If you still
run into some problems, maybe it'd be because of the stuff left
behind from when you tried to build before. Then you might want
to clean up your /usr/src  /usr/obj's too. That is,

cd /usr/src
make clean
cd ../obj
chflags -R noschg *
rm -rf *

which will clean up from what you've previously done. Then again,
you might want to wait until some more folks read this post and
see if you get any more input. I'm just telling you what's worked
for me in the past.

Hello Family,

I was totally stoked to get my first 64-bit PC, an AMD/Athlon and it
came with Windows-XP Pro, and I did what I always do and that's to then
install Linux then FreeBSD.  All my machines work great like this with
the Linux bootloader doing the booting of WinXP/Linux/FreeBSD.

The thing that bums me out is that the mouse works with WinXP and
SuSE-9.3 but there is no luck with the mouse with FreeBSD-5.4, KDE came
up just fine though.

Per postings to the web I have added and removed and added the line to
/boot/device.hints of:

hint.acpi.0.disabled=1

I also enabled and disabled ACPI in the BIOS too on various
attempts.

I have ran:  Xorg -configure and ran the file that it generated with
really bad results then deleted the generated file and made sure
/etc/X11 was empty and with no apparent config file got a great display
of kde when I started KDE, what file it used I don't know.  I ran a
trace on startx (with a .xinitrc file containing startkde) and I
could not seem to determine it.  I'm still used to /etc/X11/XF86Config
but there is none in the new 5.4

So, I really tried to find some solution to this and more or less hit a
brick wall.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

What I'm writing is very basic, but I just got an answer
to a question where I'd forgotten a very basic thing, so
don't get insulted. I may be way off base, being a relative
newbie, but if so, it'll at least probably get a quicker
response from somewhere else. :)

1) Are you still running GENERIC kernel?

2) Do you have /dev/psm0?

3) Do you have, in /etc/rc.conf

   moused_enable=YES?

4) Do you have, in your kernel config file,

   # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
 device psm # PS/2 mouse

5) Do you show something like this in dmesg?

   psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0
   psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3

6) I know when you don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf, X will
   still probe  try to come up with a working solution,
   but as to where it stores it's settings, unless in the
   afore mentioned file, I don't know.

7) And if, after running without an xorg.conf file, it does
   have one it generated, does it have anything like this?

# Identifier and driver

Identifier  Mouse1
Driver  mouse
Option ProtocolAuto
Option Device  /dev/sysmouse

8) There have been other posts about xorg.conf problems
   recently. As I said, if you don't configure it yourself,
   it'll try to probe  come up with something. I guess it's
   having trouble with your mouse, though, which, btw, you
   didn't mention what kind of mouse. Did you check the hardware
   compat list?  Hope some of this helped.

First off Denny, thanks for answering my email for help.  Here goes..


1) Are you still running GENERIC kernel?


YES


2) Do you have /dev/psm0?


YES


3) Do you have, in /etc/rc.conf

moused_enable=YES?


Yes, manually entered it.


4) Do you have, in your kernel config file,

# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
  devicepsm # PS/2 mouse


YES


5) Do you show something like this in dmesg?

psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3



Yes, actually here is what it says:

psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4


6) I know when you don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf, X will
still probe  try to come up with a working solution,
but as to where it stores it's settings, unless in the
afore mentioned file, I don't know.



I'd love to see the file it generates for X looks great when I leave
it alone and startkde with no files.


7) And if, after running without an xorg.conf file, it does
have one it generated, does it have anything like this?


I can't seem to find the one it's using, here are the results of a
seach I did.  I had one file in my home directory from another machine
but that file is not named valid for use, here is the seach results.

liam# find / -name xorg.c*

/usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/xorg.cf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg
/usr/home/wiliweld/xorg.conf.new



# Identifier and driver

 Identifier Mouse1
 Driver mouse
 Option ProtocolAuto
 Option Device  /dev/sysmouse

8) There have been other posts about xorg.conf problems
recently. As I said, if you don't configure it yourself,
it'll try to probe  come up with something. I guess it's
having trouble with your mouse, though, which, btw, you

compat list?  Hope some of this helped.


The mouse I'm using works fine in another 32bit 5.4 machine and here is
the seach path results:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]- find / -name xorg.c* -print
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg
/root/xorg.conf.new

And inside the last file there is the mouse settings of:

Section InputDevice
   Identifier  Mouse0
   Driver  mouse
   Option  Protocol auto
   Option  Device /dev/sysmouse
EndSection

I'll keep hacking Denny, thanks



Sorry couldn't have been of more help. I almost
fell asleep here, reading the man page on Xorg.
At this point, that's my best suggestion. Hope
you get it fixed.

If in doubt, read the advisory. FreeBSD security advisories
FreeBSD-SA-05:10.tcpdump and FreeBSD-SA-05:11.gzip say that the issues
were corrected in 5.4-RELEASE-p2, so if you did a buildworld and
installworld at the same time as you last updated your kernel (note
that the output of uname just tells you what version the kernel is, and
doesn't say anything about the world), then you're safe.

Of course, assuming that you haven't deliberately changed those programs,
it wouldn't hurt to run
# freebsd-update --branch crypto fetch
# freebsd-update install
since that will just return those programs to their canonical form.  (In
FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4, there is only the crypto branch -- the releases no
longer ship with non-cryptographic binaries.)

you ask the question that elicits the punchline. You don't

I constantly am into several bsd books I've bought, handbook,
web sites, google, this list, etc. But, I should've thought
to read there, right on the first page of the web site.
Cvsup RELENG_5_4, make buildworld, make buildkernel, make
installkernel, reboot, all ok, drop to single user, make
installworld, mergemaster  so on. All done the same time.
So, should be good to go.Thanks for the help  the wakeup

freebsd-update fetch question

Did freebsd-update fetch and got this:

Fetching updates signature...
Fetching hash list signature...
Examining local system...

The following files are affected by security
fixes, but have not been updated because they
have been modified locally:

/usr/bin/gunzip
/usr/bin/gzcat
/usr/bin/gzip
/usr/bin/zcat
/usr/sbin/tcpdump

No updates available

I read some of the reasons updates wouldn't be
fetched, one of which was, I believe, if the
system had been rebuilt locally, which it has.
Here's uname -aip  output for my system:

FreeBSD dualman.cableone.net 5.4-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD

So, I guess my question is, am I okay at this

Question is, why I can't get it to work
anymore, when I go to a port dir, do a
make extract
cd work
./configure --arguments
I used it before for setting extra arguments
on several ports I added. Since then, I've
done a cvsup, rebuilt and installed everything,
 everything else is working okay. Since I'm
still relatively new  have already made some
mistakes because of what shell I was using as
root when I was doing certain things like cvs,
which this mailing list helped me with, I tried
changing root's shell but it didn't help. So,
thanks for any help I can get on this. Oh yeah,
when I did cvsup, I just did the security
branch. Running FreeBSD 5.4

Most ports feed additional options to ./configure, check the port's Makefile 
to see what it does, or do a make configure or simple make at the 
top-level of the port instead.

/usr/src/contrib/binutils/./configure -args

It works okay. I found that with locate.
Could I have messed up scripts in /usr/ports

I never had to add any path to ./configure

That's what seems to be my problem. Wrong

Run the script command.  Do something which shows what you think is a

Okay, I see I'm in such a confused state that I appear
to be confusing others. I had read somewhere that you
can go into a port dir you want to install, and do
make extract  then cd into the work dir just created,
you could do a ./configure with some option afterward
that would show you all the available arguments/options
you can include when you configure it before making it,
instead of reading the makefile. Then, in that dir, you
do ./configure --arguments --options to get it ready
to build it the way you want. And, instead of that, you
can also do ./configure \ which puts you in a shell on
the next line where you enter all the arguments and then
exit on an empty line when you're done. Which, btw, works
for me. I hope this time I've made it more clear. And
no, I'm not trying to build binutils.

You can run it to see what configuration is possible with the src you
are building, but that's what port does, it's a frontend to it (correct
me with wrong).

If you want to build manually the src you need to run ./configure
--args like ./configure --with-mysql --with-zlib for php in example,
and after the configure script run OK you do make install to make and
install the program.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I assume

You're using the wrong shell.  The 21 redirection for standard error
messages works fine in /bin/sh and its derivatives.  It doesn't in csh.

Run the command shown above in /bin/sh or Bash and everything should
work as expected.


In addition to what Giorgos said, you can use script(1), since you are
saving stdout  stderr in one file. For example
script /tmp/cvs.co.logs cvs ...

Thanks for the help. Now comes the fun part. Building,
installing, kernel,  so forth. Plenty of books here.
Unfortunately, they each seem to have their own way of
doing things in the instructions. Like one not mentioning
to drop to single user when doing installworld. Very
confusing for someone relatively new to this. Think I'd
be better off just sticking with the fbsd documentation.
Again, thanks.

Duh, back to the basics, right? :) Sorry for bothering
anyone with this. Should've thought of it myself. Very
confusing process for a relative newbie. Each book I
read seems to follow a different procedure. Like I said
in another answer to a help message about this, I think
I'd be better off for now just sticking to the fbsd docs.
Thanks for the help.

You're using the wrong shell.  The 21 redirection for standard error
messages works fine in /bin/sh and its derivatives.  It doesn't in csh.

Run the command shown above in /bin/sh or Bash and everything should
work as expected.

Everything's working fine. Upgrade went okay, mergemaster,
kernel rebuild, so on. I haven't had a chance yet to read
everything in the Updating file, but I know Pine is working
much more stable in an ssh login session from a windows box
using cygwin than it did before. Really appreciate the help.

Don't slander youself. I think 'hard-headed' person will never admit
that he doesn't know something. You are trying to do something so you
are self motivated person.



As to the www problem, I'll check it on my box and write you any

Right.  Sorry for not replying earlier, but I didn't quite understand what
exactly you were trying to do and what the problem was.

The /doc and /www areas of the FreeBSD CVS repository are a responsibility
of the FreeBSD documentation guys.  In the future, it may be a good idea to
ask questions about these specific parts of the CVS tree by posting to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list :-)


I knew I wasn't understanding how to do it. I want it here local for me 
the others here.


To have a complete /www mirror you need other stuff too and you may have
to tweak a bit the build process to avoid redirecting everyone to the
central www.FreeBSD.org every time they hit, for instance, a manpage link.


I didn't think about not having to be root to install it.  That helps a
lot, since there's a lot more room on /home. Also, I read somewhere that
I could create a group, ncvs, add a user to it,  then I guess I could do
like you said. I.E., logon as that user, have a directory below
/usr/local/ncvs,  do the make install in that directory, as there is
even more room on /usr.


Adding an 'ncvs' user/group is only

I think I may be a little confused.

Are you trying to setup a cvsup mirror?  If so, then
look at net/cvsup-mirror.  That will setup a mirror
for you, and it will ask where you want to store the
data.

If you are just wanting to pull the src tree, then
you can use anon cvs and something like:

% cd /usr/local/ncvs
% setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
% cvs login
% cvs co -rRELENG_5 src
... wait for everything to transfer ...
% cvs logout

CVSROOT is where the repository resides.  I.E. in the
example above, the repository is located at
anoncvs.FreeBSD.org in /home/ncvs.

Thanks so much for the help. I really wasn't considering
a mirror. Getting ready to do an install on an old laptop
 an extra PIII my son left here. Since I've already got
NFS working, thought I'd use that for the other boxes to
pull from. Really still way too much of a greenhorn for
mirrors. Maybe eventually I'll try it. Thanks again for
the help.


Hi Bob,
I have no idea how that happened. I think there was a
glitch or operator error in pine's gpg filters.
Thanks for replying again. I got to thinking, after
reading some of the stuff in the cvs  stable mailing
list, that there could be just a messup in the make code.
I pulled the entire src tree along with docs, ports, 
www again. This time, it all makes fine. But, regardless
of where I put the files as in

cd /usr
cvs -d /usr/local/ncvs co www

and the subdir www is created  all the files for
www are put there, when I do a make install, it
still insists on putting the files in root's dir,
 I just don't have enough room on that partition.
I even did a cd into /usr/www/en  did make install.
It still insisted on installing all the translations,
not just english,  of course, all of it into /root.
Basically, I just want to keep a fresh copy of the
english stuff on this box for me  my kids, who are
becoming interested in windows alternatives, esp
fbsd, since I've gotten involved again with it.
If you can maybe point me in the right direction as
to a switch, argument, option, etc., that I can use
with the make install command, I'd appreciate it.
Otherwise, I'll probably have to abandon the idea
for now. More important stuff for me to learn, like
choosing the right branch/release, upgrading my
system, merging /etc,  so forth. Thanks again for
the help you've given.

This is not a CVS problem ;-)

building lynx problem

[Denny White]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

I read a tip where I could use the mouse
with lynx when I run it from the terminal
if it's built with the right options. I
read up on it, went into /usr/ports/lynx,
extracted, cd into the proper directory,
did a ./configure with all the arguments
I wanted including ncurses so I could have
mouse  scrollbar support in lynx,  then
make install clean. After that, still no
mouse  scrollbar support in lynx, even if
I include options after lynx on the command
line to use the mouse. I read in the cvs
mailing list where there was a new port, so
I did cvsup on ports  the whole portupgrade
thing, uninstalled lynx 2.8.5 (I think that
was the version)  installed the new port, 
lynx 2.8.6d11 with all the same ./configure

arguments, checked  set everything I could
think of in /etc/lynx.cfg  still no mouse
working on the links  scrollbar. Scrollbar
is there now, btw. Thanks for any light shed
on this  help.

cvs question

I know before asking this has been
covered profusely, and I have read
a lot in the handbook, man pages,
fbsd web site  mailing list archives.
But, there are some things I just do
not understand. My main question is,
is it okay to change
/home/ncvs
to
/usr/ncvs
I ask because of the repository size
compared to what I have on this box
on /home  /usr.

Filesystem   SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/amrd0s1e1.9G277M1.5G15%/home

Filesystem   SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/amrd0s1g 11G2.3G7.7G23%/usr

So you can see why I want to use /usr/ncvs
instead of /home/ncvs. I guess I'm a lousy
googler, but I just couldn't seem to phrase
my question to find the answer I wanted.

My 2nd question is, when you cvsup an individual
release, it says not to include ports-all and
doc-all, as you will wipe out what you already
have. But, when you don't specify an individual
release, just *default release=cvs and src-all,
if you specify ports-all  doc-all, you won't
wipe out what you already have. Am I understanding
it correctly?
Thanks in advance for your patience  any help
 explanations I receive.

Re: cvs question

[Denny White]

I appreciate the answer. I'm kind of up
against the wall with this thing. Can't
seem to get it. I created /usr/local/ncvs,
setenv CVSROOT /usr/local/ncvs  tried to
do what I thought would be simpler  a good
trial run on something simpler than the
whole source tree. I did a cvsup on www 
got it okay. Then I went into /usr/local/www
 did a make install. It started filling up
/root with public_html  finally stopped on
an error, saying the CVSROOT environment
setting was invalid. What am I doing wrong?

You want to cvsup ports-all with tag=. since

Learning a lot so far, like checking make options
next time when I first install fbsd. Picking the
programs that are multithreaded, etc. As for X,
I've got some video cards I could try out, but
right now, I'm pretty satisfied with wmaker. Pretty
much setup barebones with just enough to do what
I need to do visually in a gui. Most of the time,
it's lynx for reading html docs pertaining to
the system mostly. Thanks, Ted.

big win with SCSI on that vintage is that back then SCSI drives
had MTBF of 100,000 hours, IDE more like 10,000 that is why
everyone running servers used SCSI.

clamav is going to run like a dog on anything slower than a 1Ghz
system.  What the clam scanner has to do is tremendously cpu
intensive.  And clam isn't multithreaded so SMP does nothing unless
your running multiple clamscans at the same time.

You can probably jazz up X by turning off the integrated video
and adding in a good video card.  I think the video onboard were
really crappy Trident chipsets with small amounts of ram.  These
were servers after all, intended to just sit there, nobody used
the video for anything.

Hi Ted,
All I've got and can afford is right now is the old
stuff I already have. I want to use the Netserver, not
only to experiment with dual processors, but also because
I have never worked with scsi or hardware raid before,
only ide. You're exactly right too, what you said about
folks like me trying to milk way too much out of old
systems. It's a PII 300 dual-processor, not that the 2
processors help a lot, and I do have smp in the kernel.
I've watched top's output while running a clamav scan.
The whole thing bogs down. X is slow too, but works.
Thought about overclocking, but don't want to burn it
up yet. Still okay tho, for nfs  ssh on my lan and
later a firewall box too. Added this to the kernel

options EISA_SLOTS=12

and rebuilt it, but it doesn't help. I'll keep on picking
at it until I'm satisfied I've tweaked it all I can.
Thanks for the help and advice.

System Panics and Core Dump help

[Denny White]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1



Just trying to get a heads up if I'm going about
this in the right way, if I've understood what
I've read and applied, outlined below.
I read an article at Onlamp on how to prepare
for system panics and core dumps. Article here:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/03/21/Big_Scary_Daemons.html?page=2

After rebuilding my kernel with the

options KDB
options DDB
makeoptions DEBUG=-g

I copied kernel.debug to /var/crash/kernel.debug.date for
future use. I added the following below to /etc/rc.conf, leaving
the dump directory at its default /var/crash in /etc/defaults/rc.conf:

dumpdev=/dev/amrd0s1b (this is my swap partition)
savecore_flags=-z (added flag for compression)

Now, in /var/log/messages, I get:

savecore: unable to open bounds file, using 0
savecore: no dumps found

Am I right in assuming that the system's doing exactly what
it's supposed to do? That is, checking for a dump when booting,
not finding any, reporting as much, and proceeding booting as
usual? I assumed that, even though the message is a bit
misleading to a relative newbie like myself, after reading the
following at another web site:

- 
PROBLEMS AND REMEDIES

No Dump Was Saved
Cause:

The system may have shut down successfully.
Remedy:

No dump is expected. Core dumps are only
created for abnormal shutdowns.

Okay, didn't get a dump. Everything's fine
on the system. I was just trying to follow
how to be prepared for a panic, crash, etc.,
to be able to do a backtrace and have info
to give someone trying to help debug the
kernel. First time I rebooted after adding
the new settings, I got:

unable to open bounds file, using 0
no dumps found

And to the best of my knowledge, there was
no bounds file in /var/crash. Now there is,
size is 2k  has an internal value of 5.
Also, now when I boot, I get:

Checking for core dump on /dev/amrd0s1b
no dumps found

And, after rebooting again, I see that the
internal value of /var/crash/bounds has
been incremented by 1, so now it's at 6.
I read where it does that each time it
checks it. Only reason I bugged anyone on
the mailing list about this was I'm still
a relative newbie  didn't want to trash
all the work I'd done with my experimenting
before getting it where it could be fixed if
I did. :) So, as best as I can see it, it's
doing just what it's supposed to do. Thanks
for helping me clear that up, Greg.

Did you get a dump?  Otherwise the second message is normal.  The
first one is harmless, and should only occur on the first real dump.

Re: HP LC II Netserver ACPI problem

[Denny White]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1



I haven't found a way, no mention of it. Pretty
old BIOS. Went to HP's site, d/l the last one
one they had (even it was old)  flashed it.
Still pretty old comparatively.
As for the dmesg errors, yeah, I guess I'll have
to ignore them. I've tried everything I can to
get rid of them, but it ain't happening.
I read this in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES:

device  eisa

# By default, only 10 EISA slots are probed, since the slot numbers
# above clash with the configuration address space of the PCI subsystem,
# and the EISA probe is not very smart about this.  This is sufficient
# for most machines, but in particular the HP NetServer LC series comes
# with an onboard AIC7770 dual-channel SCSI controller on EISA slot #11,
# thus you need to bump this figure to 12 for them.
options EISA_SLOTS=12

I recompiled my kernel with that option but it didn't help.
So, there are no choices in the BIOS for ACPI that I can find.
Nor is there anything about PNP except for a section where you
can reserve areas of memory, interrupts, ports, etc., for PNP.
But they're all set to the default, which is to be available
for the system. So, I guess I'm in ignoring mode until maybe
in the future when I find a fix. Thanks for the answer  help.

It's strictly surplus. I took it from a friend
primarily to learn about SMP, which I have in
the kernel and is working fine. The BIOS is pretty
bare bones, except in the section where you can
make available or reserve memory areas, interrupts,
ports, etc., for PNP. But, they're all set to be
available, the default, it looks like. I've googled
and searched all over HP's site,  can't find anything
about disabling PNP.Either it's not there or I flat
missed it. which is very possible.  Thanks for any

I've read and googled for days and the following is

   Hence, the following:

2. Have apic enabled in kernel  no problems that I know of

I have no idea how to match them up with the output of vga0
shown above, that is, to reserve the proper areas for its use.
I tried working with it the other night  wound up locking
the computer up rock solid. Would not boot. Had to pull the
cmos battery  put back  reset everything back to where it
had been to boot again. One of the first things I did after
reading in the mail archives, googling, etc., was to boot
to ACPI enabled, I assume which loads a kernel module instead
of it having to be compiled in. Have output of that error
message above too.
Any help would sure be appreciated. Tired of no sleep, trying

root not getting system email

[Denny White]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1



Can someone please help me with this.
I read where it's safer to have an
admin read root's mail than for the
root user himself. So, I did the
/etc/aliases  newaliases thing, I
tried the aliase in /etc/mail  did
a make there  a make restart,
tried a .forward file in roots home
directory, tried the virtusertable
 local-host-names  mailertable in
/etc/mail,  so far nothing but trouble.
Here's the type of messages I'm getting
when the system fails to relay roots
mail:

May 28 15:02:07 dualman sm-mta[2278]: j4SK270A002278:
Losing ./qfj4SK270A002278: savemail panic
May 28 15:02:06 dualman sm-mta[2277]: j4SK250A002277:
SYSERR(root): rewrite: excessive recursion (max 50),
ruleset canonify
May 28 15:02:07 dualman sm-mta[2278]: j4SK270A002278:
SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere

It also says the local user cannot be found,
which I think is my screwup for whatever way
I entered the user in aliases and virtusertable.
Would it be wiser just to undo everything, and
just try using the .forward file for root?
Trying to get everything on here working right
so I can teach myself how to do a cvsup  learn
to rebuild  merge everything, but this is for
sure holding me back. Thanks for any help I can
get.

nfs, inetd bad wait

Subject: pcnfsd question


Running MS Services for Unix Admin on a windows box
running XP, trying to use NFS exported mounts on an old
HP LC II dual-processor Pentium 300. Everything on the old
server is working ok. Running FreeBSD 5.4 Release. I didn't
put the dmesg in here, but if someone needs it to look over
the problem, can stick it in on a repost.
Getting the following message from /var/log/messages  wondering
if I've set something wrong, or if it's just a glitch. Tried
searching the archives  googling, but didn't really come up
with anything that could help me much. The exports work to the
windows box ok. Little slow, initially accessing, but once
exports are mapped on the xp box, everything speeds up fine.
So, just trying to get some light on shed on this message
directly below here:

(getting this in /var/log/messages)

Here are as many of the settings as I could think of to put in here
for reference:

I guess it goes without saying, I could use samba, which
I have before on other boxes, but I just wanted to see
if I could get nfs working half way reliably to a
windows box.

Been running Xlink's Omni-Lite NFS Client on a windows box
running XP, trying to use NFS exported mounts on an old
HP LC II dual-processor Pentium 300. Everything on the old
server is working great. Running FreeBSD 5.4 Release. I didn't

searching the archives  googling, but didn't really come up
with anything that could help me much. The exports work to the
windows box, although it's slow as hell. And, regardless of what
settings I tried to tweak on the windows firewall, I still had
to finally take it down completely before I could connect to
the exported mounts. Probably the nature of the windows beast.
So, just trying to get some light on shed on this message
directly below here:

I'm not a guru or anything near it. Still,
in the past, I ran into the same problem
as you with cd's that came with books.
With me, at least, they have proven to be
very unreliable. If you have a fast internet
connection, you could download a stable iso,
burn it  go from there. Or, and better for
the project, you can go to:

http://www.freebsd.org/where.html

and buy a current cd. I don't know  don't
have time to look right now, which vendors
donate a portion of their proceeds to the
FreeBSD project, but you can look. If they
do, that's who I'd buy the cd from.

I cant seem to figure out how to install fsbd. The boot loader

however the laptop shuts down almost as soon as it detects the
disk. SO far it seems like a nightmare OS to me. Do you have any
suggestions. I have read all the help files online, submitted my
questions to forums and searched through the book that my CD came
with but i havn't had any luck finding answers. I have that freebsd
book by Brian Tiemann 2nd edition with the freebsd 5.0 CD.

If you tell it to..again, please see the manpage :)

don't i need to be wary of -R ?? wholesale upgrading of library's might
break other apps that use them
It's *always* a good idea to update your ports with your brain turned
on :-)
portupgrade -a is often safer, because it won't update a port but
leave other dependencies of that port than the one you specified
untouched.

Can anyone send me a link of where to read
about how to set the device up? I tried
searching at FreeBSD  in Google. Found
all sorts of problems people were having
 others who had them working, but not
how to fix the problem. Thanks.
