Proof of concept box with 8mB RAM
Everyone will laugh at this, but I have an old box with a 25mHz processor or so. It has 8mB of memory. I want to install some type of UNIX clone on it, as a proof of concept. I don't care if it's linux, freebsd, or something else, but I need something that will run with enough speed to run an sshd and not much else. It will just be to prove that old hardware can still be used.

Not necessarily. Both of my current DVD players can play a DVD full of MP3 files. You bring up a good point, but that's not part of the DVD standard. One is a Pioneer, and the other is a more 'random' brand DVD/DiVX player. The Pioneer does a better job, but both will play data discs of MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG1 amongst other things. Another possibility would be to convert to MP2 audio and make a minimal video stream to go alongside the audio - say, a black screen, and make a DVD Video disk using something like transcode. The blank video would waste lots of space on the DVD, I think. I don't know what the bare minimum video bitrate is for DVD, but I know you can get a good few hours that way, in a format that would play on any DVD player. I've been meaning to try this for ages.

I use linux also, and I have never experienced it there, so...I just would like to know if there is a command line to restart the mouse device, I am sure it would detect. like usbmouse restart restarting usb device... You know what I mean? Yeah, I do. But I think the issue might be in your bios. See, some BIOSes have an option that makes your USB mouse or keyboard appear as a PS/2 device to the operating system so it can be used in older operating systems without USB support. So, FBSD is seeing your mouse as a PS/2 device, and it's not configured for it to work like that., until you unplug and replug it. Then it gets handled by FBSD as an USB device and therefore works. So... open your bios config (reboot and it should say something like hit F1 to enter setup, if it doesn't, try tapping F1, F12, Delete, Tab on startup). Look for something called Legacy Emulation. Mine's called Legacy Keyboard Emulation, but it handles the mouse too. You need to switch that off. xorgcfg didn't help, it is more like freebsd doesn't feel the mouse is there, it doesn't work at shell also, when it wants not to work. But after rebooting once/or just unplug/plug it again it works, kinda crazy ain't that? I repeat, there's nothing wrong with my hardware, it works pretty well at other platforms, I just need the command line to do what the system do when I plug it back to detect it.

RE: nubie question - Ports - Ruby 1.8.4

I had not done... # portsnap extract I was a bit mislead because when I did # portsnap fetch after downloading it said it was 'extracting'. So I skipped extract. My bad. I still would like to ask you gurus a couple of questions if I may. 1. During sysinstall it had asked me if I wanted the ports collection installed which had 13,000 apps, would take 400MB of space yada yada yada...I assumed by saying yes and since I was installing off the boot only CD I would get the LATEST ports from the main site. Why didn't I? In chapter 4.5 of the handbook portsnap is given as an alternative to sysinstall. So what is the difference between ports installed via sysinstall vs. that from portsnap? Shouldn't be one... =/ 2. Unrelated: I did a pkg_version and see that there are a whole bunch of packages (may be 80-90%) which need updating. I am just trying FreeBSD for now on my laptop which is an old Gateway with Pentium II 400 MHz. It took nearly 2-3 days !!! (it would pause with some dialog which needed human input so I am not sure how long it might have taken with me sitting in front of it all the time) to install gnome2 from the ports. I don't know how long it might take to do a complete system upgrade. So the question I have is on current technology (say Athlon64 or Coreduo with 1GB of RAM) how long does it take to install a complete system + upgrade it to the ports tree for a X-developer workstation? Sorry about the loaded question. Whoah, that should NOT have taken that long. On my el cheapo DSL connection, it takes at most 3 hours to do a port upgrade on my 200mHz Pentium. I would say the Internet speed is hte limiting factor, not the hardware... what sort of connection do you have?

The FreeBSD machine was pretty much acting as a print server for that plotter. Sorry to be so vague, but it was a long time ago.

Re: SSHD Help?

Now I have this system setup at home and am just using it for experimenting. When I try to SSH into it, it queries me for my user name, in which case I am logging in as root. Bad, bad, bad! Don't log in as root! I key in roots password (is this password the same as the main root password?) Yes. and it returns permission denied, please try again. Probably because you are logging in as root. Don't log in as root! I'm guessing I am not asking the right questions but I was under the assumption that the password would be the same as root or whatever user I'm trying to login? It is... but by default FreeBSD doesn't let you log in as root, at least remotely. Any tutorials? I'm going crazy :(. Your machine will too, if you log in as root.

Re: TFT monitors and Xorg

For years now I only used normal monitors on windows, linux, FreeBSD but soon I'll get a Samsung 930BF TFT screen. CRT, I guess...? What I'd like to know is, if Xorg is capable of seeing this monitor and sets the right options. Oh yeah. They use the same standard as CRTs. I know it does a good job with other monitors, but as I understand TFT's are quite different in some aspects. ...but not the interface aspect. A digital CRT interface is a digital TFT interface. Same for analog IFs, which is what you're probably using. Do TFT's use HorizSync and VertRefresh the same way as normal monitors? Yep. Maybe I worry about nothing, but I hope someone will explain things to me than. -- --hackmiester Walk a mile in my shoes and you will be a mile away in a new pair of shoes. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFD/yYl3ApzN91C7BcRAoVVAJ97uhjh30nQ4hd9bQ90gJqiwsLEfgCeKSrg bVfqEeJ09WhO6Y51WHEHb6o= =VTUd -END PGP SIGNATURE- -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: Geek Code v3.1 (PHP) GCS/CM/E/IT d-@ s: a- C++$ UBLS*$ P+ L+++$ E- W++$ !N-- !o+ K-- !w-- !O- M++$ V-- PS@ PE@ Y--?

Re: Newbie FreeBSD/Linux Question
On Wednesday 08 March 2006 14:46, Lawrence Petrykanyn wrote: Hi! snip I tried make --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs and received a message informing me that this is not correct Make syntax. No, you've got it all wrong! To build an application, you generally do this: ./configure make make install #if you want to install it So, in the case of that application, it means do this: ./configure --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs make make install #if you want to install it Am I supposed to edit the config file(s) that accompany the source code? If so, which one(s), config.h.in, configure, configure.ac or one of the files in the config directory of this package? This is probably a very simple matter, but I have googled around and cannot find an answer. Any comments, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lawrence JACK README Welcome to JACK, the Jack Audio Connection Kit. Please see the website (http://jackit.sf.net/) for more information. NOTE: If you are using reiserfs or ext3fs or anything except ext2fs for the directory where JACK puts its temporary files (/tmp by default), then the JACK team recommends that you do *one* of the following: Mount a tmpfs on /tmp. You should have a lot of swap space available in case some programs try to write very large files there. In your /etc/fstab add a line: none/tmptmpfs defaults0 0 You'll probably want to reboot here, or kill X then 'mount /tmp'. OR Alternatively, you can do this without affecting your /tmp: # mkdir /mnt/ramfs [edit /etc/fstab and add the following line] none /mnt/ramfs tmpfs defaults 0 0 Then add --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs to the JACK configure line when you build it. No clients need to be recompiled. -- Failure to do one of these could lead to extremely poor performance from JACK, since its normal operation will cause bursts of disk I/O that are completely unnecessary. This suggestion can also be used by ext2fs users if they wish. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --hackmiester Walk a mile in my shoes and you will be a mile away in a new pair of shoes. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFD/yYl3ApzN91C7BcRAoVVAJ97uhjh30nQ4hd9bQ90gJqiwsLEfgCeKSrg bVfqEeJ09WhO6Y51WHEHb6o= =VTUd -END PGP SIGNATURE- -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: Geek Code v3.1 (PHP) GCS/CM/E/IT d-@ s: a- C++$ UBLS*$ P+ L+++$ E- W++$ !N-- !o+ K-- !w-- !O- M++$ V-- PS@ PE@ Y--?
