Re: Install problems on Dell Vostro
Jerahmy Pocott wrote: Hello, I'm having difficulties getting 6.2 installed on these new Dell 'Vostro' systems. The BIOS is a Phoenix - AwardBIOS and it reports the version as 1.0.3. With the SATA controller set to IDE mode (default) in the BIOS booting FreeBSD will hang just before entering sysinstall, booting with ACPI disabled stops this but then no disk drives are found! I got around this by setting the SATA mode to RAID in the BIOS (this seems to make the disk appear as SCSI), then it doesn't crash with ACPI enabled (with ACPI disabled no disks are found still) and the disk is found. The system only has USB inputs (8 of them) and with the USB Controller set to 'High Speed' in the BIOS, the keyboard stops working once sysinstall starts (though it works in the boot menu), however setting it to 'Full/Low Speed' makes it work in sysinstall. I probably don't care about using High Speed USB devices any way, but it would be nice if they could work, but this isn't the major issue. Now finally I can get into sysinstall and partition the disk, but the network interface is not detected. It says it is an 'Intel 82562V-2' (on board), but I see no probes about it on booting FreeBSD. Is this interface supported? Any ideas on getting it detected? I feel the ACPI might be a problem? On booting it is reported as 'ACPI: Dell FX 09' Thanks!

Just for reference - Knoppix, Ubuntu, FreesBie live CDs, and a straight install of Ubuntu 7.04 didn't work either.

Wav from sound card line in
I'm using FreeBSD 4.10 and would like to make WAV format recordings from my sound card's line in channel with some sort of command line utility. I've been successful in finding other sorts of ports and packages to rip CDs and play Wavs and MP3s but have yet to find anything in the software descriptions that address this need. Can anyone recommend something? Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: beastie.4th language ?
Starting Forth by Leo Brodie is a good book on Forth. http://www.forth.org/ will offer other tutorialsl. Jerry McAllister wrote: Hi, My question might seem basic. Nevertheless I didn't find the answer on the net. Excuse me in case I did look seriously enough, which might afterall, be the case. The files under the /boot directory on FreeBSD : beastie.4th and the included ones screen.4th and frames.4th are obviously written in a certain scripting language. What is this language ? Can I get a turorial for this scripting language ? Or even a reference manual ? I believe the language is Forth. It is a fairly esotheric language that is used because it has a very small footprint and is still quite flexible. I don't know about tutorials, but I have seen an occasional book on it. I had one and actually installed Forth on a machine and tried to learn it once, several years ago but the rewards/effort ratio got to me and I haven't gone back to it. jerry Any URL or suggestion would be appreciated.

Re: samba printing
The pass-through script, and the idea to use it, came from FreeBSD Unleashed. I didn't know you could get away with not having a filter in printcap. I'll try your idea to see if it works. I'm using the same idea for other remote Ethernet printers this computer serves. Warren Block wrote: On Sun, 23 Jan 2005, McCy Ron wrote: I've got a printcap setting that uses a pass-through filter.

I used du on all of the directories on / and could only come up with 28000K of usage - far short of what it's supposed to hold. The User Manual suggests that there my be some files not accounted for by du actually residing on the system. What is the best way to reclaim this space? The computer still runs despite this file system being full so I'm no panicking YET.
