Re: tetex, latex, dvips
A tex live-cd? I wonder why this should be preferable to a port. Anyway what's wrong with the latex port. Is this port still maintained, I've read that tetex will be the standard tex port in future. But how to go the standard latex, xdvi, dvips way without dvips? Finally what about latex3e if the've finished their work??

tetex, latex, dvips
Hi! Why do latex and tetex conflict? Firstly I installed latex but couldnt find the koma package but all tools (dvips, xdvi ...). So I removed latex and installed tetex-base and tetex-texmf. Koma works fine, but I can only produce pdf with pdflatex. dvips is not present and xdvi tells me that there are a lot of fonts missing! When I try to install dvips I get the following message: ===> Installing for dvips-5.76 ===> dvips-5.76 conflicts with installed package(s): teTeX-base-2.0.2_2 teTeX-texmf-2.0.2 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/print/dvips. How can a tex distribution conflict with and dvi to ps converter??? Am I doing something completly wrong?

Hi! As a physician I want to code my programs in fortran. I have read in the groups that the Intel fortran compiler (supporting fortran 95) is avaiable in the ports collection.

solution: ipfw, natd
Hi! With this order (rules 201,501,502), everything works well. Other orders, although intuitivly correct, don't behave as expected. I tried divert, allow all from internal, check-state and nothing happened. # enable the natd add 00201 divert natd all from any to any via sis0 ### TCP ### # per default only outgoing tcp connections, established from my host are allowed # check against the dynamic rulesets, then allow traffic from internal network add 00501 check-state add 00502 allow all from any to any via vr0 keep-state add 00503 deny tcp from any to any in established via sis0 add 00504 deny all from any to any frag in via sis0 # allow all tcp setup connection add 00505 allow tcp from any to any out via sis0 setup keep-state Was hard to find, not well documented. The handbook suggests firewalltype OPEN, which is in fact not very sensible! A few more words on this would be fine or a reference to the Ipfw-Advanced-Supplement-HOWTO, which covers this case.

Weird mouse error
After a kernel compile to add nat support my mouse is moving very,very slowly on both the X-Server and the console.

c standard
Following is possible with gcc and g++:
#include
double sin(double)
{
return 1;
}
int main()
{
sin(1);
return 1;
}
Why I don't get any warnings like:
sin prevously defined in math.h ...
when I compile with -Wall -pedantic -ansi.
Why is it possible to overwrite the definition of sin,
is this part of the standard?
Secondly the definition (not declaration) of double sin(double)
misses a variable!
Is this ok, when the variable is not referenced in the code?
Thanks in advance,

Hi! I'm working in an office with several win hosts of all flavours (98,2000,eXPerience). Unfortunatly the resolution of computers takes sometimes up to half an hour (approx.) until they are accessible after booting up. In near future I'll have the chance to switch to FreeBSD with my box (at least, I hope so). I'll install samba for win access to my machine.

simple serial loopback
Hi list! I'm currently trying to setup my box for simple data transfer to a microcontroller via the serial interface. Therefore I've wired a nullmodem cable and as a first test I was trying to connect from cuaa0 to cuaa1 simply by xterm1: cat /dev/cuaa0 xterm2: echo "Something" > /dev/cuaa1 Unfortunatly cat exits with 0 after the first echo although it displays the message correct, so I have to "cat /dev/cuaa0" everytime I send something. Why is this? Is there a better way to keep track of the ascii-chars sent over a serial connection? Kermit and minicom seem to be some sort of monster for real serial connection (initialisation ...) which is a bit to much for me. In the end I just wan't to see the chars sent over the cabel and wan't to reply to them by typing on the keyboard, that's it!

Simple routing, netork basics
Hi! In a few days I'll get fast access to the internet via WLAN. I have a wireless accesspoint connected to my (single) network card. I have one single public static IP address from my ISP and I'll assign it to this card. Of course I want to give other people in my LAN also access to the net, so I'll by a second network card, setting it up with a local ip-address/netmask. A few questions arise: 1) I'll have to do some routing with my computer, is there a good online tutorial you can recommend covering this rather simple case? 2) What's the easiest way to log the traffic to my ISP? I don't want to exceed a certain download/upload limit. How can I gain controll over this? 3) I have to network cards: you can I be sure that the right IP is assigned to the right (physical) network card using rc.conf? I has to depend somehow on the position on the PCI-bus: which one is detected first and assigned first or due to which fact are the network-cards numbered?

bsd book
Hi!
I need help concerning free-bsd literature:
Two books seem to be interesting ("the complete freebsd",
"absolute bsd") but although I had a look at both I'm not quite
sure which one to buy.
What I want is a deep bsd-specific guide covering mostly freebsd related topic
such as the kernel, system administration and of
course as much networking as possible.
I want to avoid paying for a 100-pages introduction to c-shell or
bash (with wich I'm now familiar with) or a man-page like overview
of the basic unix commands (ls and cd are under control now!).
So which one of the two books would you recommend.
If both are ok: what's the difference?
Thanks a lot

printf("%lf",d) gives me the full range of numbers!
Calculating 2**1000 and I got the correct number
with all (!!) digits. (I cross-checked the digits with python.)
This is unexpected because sizeof(double) on my machine is 8,
and so I thought that the limit for the correct representation
is 2**(8*8).
(Actually the limit should be - meeting the IEEE standard -
2**52, the space reserved for representing the fraction of
a floating point number.)
Anyway I can calculate 2**n, with n up to 1023 exact.
Why is this???
Thanks
Florian
PS: I even had a look at the assembly code, for printf
the %lf and than twice 32bit a pushed on the stack before
calling printf. Still not enough memory to represent 2**1000!

proc filesystem
Hi! I mounted the proc-filesystem under /proc but in contrary to Linux no additional information concerning the bus, the cpu etc. is there? Why is this? I like to cat /proc/bus/usb/devices to see if the system took notice of my usb-stick.

cups dies frequently
Hi! I've installed cups and cups-lpr and I'm working with a ppd file for a HP1300 although my printer is a HP1320, because it works perfectly under linux. Anyway cups dies frequently, to be exact: I turned the loglevel of cups and found out that the ripping of the pages failes; the process dies after receiving signal 2. No paper is spit out and lpq tells me that the printer is ready. The printer itself is working perfectly: cut something.ps > /dev/ulpt0 spits out the pages. If theres a quick solution of this problem, please tell me. Its not possible for me to post the whole errorlog of cups now, but I'll do this if necessary. Thanks Florian PS: I want to apologize for this inexact description, but I'm recovering all this from memory now, my internet access is far away from my computer. ------ Florian Hengstberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0025265 -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
FreeBSD 5.3 = FreeBSD stable

cups
Hi! How do I start the cupsd a system startup? I had a look at /etc/rc.d but there is no start/stop skript! When I start the cupsd manually /usr/local/sbin/cupsd the daemon seems to stop after a time, no matter if the -F switch is enabled or not. A second question: Why is the topology of the directories of /usr/local/share/cups/model splitted up in languages (de, en ...), quite different to my Linux distro? I want to copy a .ppd file into one of these directories, but I cant figure out in which! Im using FreeBSD 5.2.1 Thanks in advance Florian -- Linux/BSD: The daemons are not longer just in my head! -- Florian Hengstberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0025265 -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Labview and FreeBSD
Hi! I bought the latest LabView Version (7) under a restricted student license. To be exact: without linux support. The thing I'm interested in is that my LabView Version runs under MacOS X. Is there a way to get it running under FreeBSD too?

Firewall and nmap
Hi! I'm compiled a Kernel using the GENERIC config-file that comes with the default 5.2.1 installation adding support for ipfw. I tried to scan my computer with a linux machine running nmap, but nmap tells me that the host seems to be down altough I was able to ping the freebsd-host. So I flushed all rools for the firewall with ipfw flush (the still existing default rule enables all trafic because I compiled this in my kernel, ipfw -c list told me that this is true.) Anyway, nothing changes, all ports seem to be closed running nmap, pings are successfull again! 1) What's wrong with my configuration? 2) I've tried to add all kernel options to this mail using the online handbook from www.freeebsd.org. I realized that the firewall section covers now the OpenBSD filter pf. What´s the state of the art? How do I enable pf under 5.2.1 - package or port? 3) Is there something similar like nmap or is there a BSD-network scanner, which usage is recommended?

Kernel size 5.2.1
Hi! I have compiled my own kernel now, editing the GENERIC configfile that comes with the distrubtion and commenting out a huge number of options. The kernel size is still much larger than a linux kernel (3.7 MB - 1.2 MB). Why is this? Is there anything similar to lspci in FreeBSD? What about lsmod, is there a tool which lists the loaded kernel modules? How can I find out which driver modules are used for my network card?

XF86(mis)Config Keyboard
Hi! I?m new to FreeBSD, so I tried a fully graphical X setup but as the keyboard settings were not okay, I copied the keyboard section from an existing Linux XF86Config file (same system). Neither the pipe sign nor the delete button work! Instead of the deleting a tilde is pasted, pressing the pipe sign takes no effect, the same is true with all other signs (greater than, less than) of this button. What?s wrong? Section "Input Device" Driver "Keyboard" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbModell" "pc105" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection My keyboard is a standard device (Vendor: Trust), I?m working with the 5.2 release. The funny thing about this is, that everything works fine in the text console!

Linux vs FreeBSD: wlan-cards
Hi! I know I posted a similar question two days ago, sorry - I?m still in trouble with finding a proper wlan-card. The hardware "database" on the freebsd-site did not help me: most cards are either not avaiable in Austria or simply to expensive. So my question is: Has anybody found a cheap wlan-card running under freebsd? I bet that most experienced users have a wlan card working. What about the cheap d-link and netgear cards, is the prism-chipset supported? (Sorry, but that?s a very important to me: I think of changing to FreeBSD from Linux and both OS are now competing! I want to give both a fair chance in hardware-questions.)

which wlan card?
Hi! I?m searching for a cheap wlan pci card (below 40 euros), supported by both freebsd and linux. What is the best choice, which cards does freebsd support out of the box (without nasty workarounds)? Is there a hardware database for freebsd or something similar?

Installing ports
Hi! I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm in trouble with installing software using the ports collection. After typing "make install" everything seems to be okay, but in most cases I get a message like this after a few minutes: fetch time out It seemed to me that the mirror servers are not uptodate or that some filenames have changed in the meantime, because fetching data from ftp-servers worked a few times. But in nearly all cases I had to copy the files manually in /usr/ports/distfiles as "make install" finally suggested. So I installed a new ports-collection with sysinstall over ftp but things haven't changed. I'm a little confused, because fetching data from FreeSD ftp-servers doesn't work too (remember that some fetches were successful!).
