Re: Modern FreeBSD Installer?
Jerry McAllister schrieb: Second, that no one objects to a parallel installer being made available as long as it is not the default and as long as it does not squeeze out the text based installer.The only problem here is finding someone or some group to work on it. Most FreeBSD developers see other issues as higher priority concerns and will be putting their effort in to those concerns rather than in to a GUI installer. ACK. No one really _needs_ a GUI installer, there are far more important tasks to do. So, don't try to make an argument that doesn't exist. Nobody minds if you write a fantastic GUI installer and submit it for inclusion as long as it works well and doesn't eclipse other necessities.

Re: Modern FreeBSD Installer?
Just my two cents: Why a graphical installer? Shure, it looks nice, easy, modern and more accessable (examples: Mac OS X, Vista), but on the other hand, for me FreeBSD never was intended to be fancy, but to be functional. The text mode installer: - works on every PC, every graphics card, every screen, with serial console, with ssh, with screenreader - is easy enough for people who are able to use it after the installation - doesn't need a mouse to be usable FreeBSD isn't Linux/OSX/Windows, FreeBSD is not for users who want eyecandy, FreeBSD is for professinals who want perfectly working systems, who know how to edit .conf-files, which packages the need and so on. (at least I think so) IMHO, the biggest problem with graphical installers is that they just don't work for everyone. For example, my last attempts to install Ubuntu Linux stopped when the installer didn't work with my graphics card or just choosed a mode my TFT didn't support. This was such a bad experience, I didn't wanted to try it anymore.

strange routing behaviour with openvpn
Hi, I'm using openvpn to connect my vpn-gateway at home to an external server, both are FreeBSD-boxes (6.2-STABLE). The external server has an fixed IP, the client at home connects to a router, which gets a new IP every 24 hours. The client is configured as router (gateway_enable=YES) which works... at least sometimes. After my router gets a new IP, the openvpn client reconnects to the server and the tunnel is usable from free...@home to free...@external. But: I have one Vista and one OSX at home, both have static routes to the FreeBSD-box. They are able to use the tunnel, when the openvpn-client is freshly startet. After getting a new IP from my ISP, the tunnel is up (and - as I wrote - the FreeBSD is able to use it), but the two other boxes don't get routed through the tunnel, but the default gateway. When I restart the openvpn-client, everythink works again like it should. Sample output of traceroute when openvpn is restarted: 11 ms1 ms1 ms wintermute [192.168.2.2] 229 ms30 ms32 ms GOTHNET [10.10.0.1] (works) After router gets net external IP: 11 ms1 ms1 ms wintermute [192.168.2.2] 21 ms1 ms1 ms 192.168.2.1 319 ms19 ms19 ms 217.0.119.195 4 217.0.89.70 meldet: Zielhost nicht erreichbar.

Banwidth limited to 800kb per connection
Hi, I've ancountered a very strange behaviour. I'm running a server with FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE, which is connected to a 100mbit-line at some hosting company. When downloading files over FTP (proftpd) or HTTP (apache 2.2) I only get about 800kb/s, uploading seems to have the same limit (couldn't test it really, as my line stops at abount 860kb/s). When I start multiple downloads, I get 800kb/s for each transfer, up to about 5000kb/s, which is the limit of my downstream at home. Is there some kind of traffic shaping or QOS somewhere? Before moving to the hosting company, I had the server at home and transfered several MB per second with a single FTP-transfer (ethernet).

Routing between subnets
Hi, i try to use a FreeBSD 6-STABLE machine as VPN-gateway for my home network. For VPN I use OpenVPN, wich connects to an outside OpenVPN-server. The connection itself works, but i need to get routing working for my LAN. I have searched in Google and group archives, but i can't find an easy howto wich works for me. Hope, someone of you can help me. I have set gateway_enable=yes in my rc.conf, but it seems not to be working. (Question: Must this be enabled on the outside VPN-server too?) Config at home (deleted all unnessesary): Output of ifconfig: fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet 192.168.2.2 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 10.10.0.6 -- 10.10.0.5 netmask 0x Output of netstat -r: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire defaultskynet.gothic-chat UGS 0 226 fxp0 10.10.0.1/32 10.10.0.5 UGS 00 tun0 10.10.0.5 10.10.0.6 UH 10 tun0 192.168.2 link#1 UC 00 fxp0 192.168.2.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 1 29 fxp0 Config at the VPN-server: Output of ifconfig: tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 10.10.0.1 -- 10.10.0.2 netmask 0x Output of netstat -r: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default83.133.111.1 UGS 0 57308679em0 10.10/24 10.10.0.2 UGS 1 239 tun0 10.10.0.2 10.10.0.1 UH 10 tun0 192.168.2 10.10.0.6 UGS 02 tun0 I can ping in either direction between the two PCs with OpenVPN.

Re: rebuilding the system
Hi, first you should get ALL sources. You can do this easily with cvsup. In /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ you find a file called 'stable-supfile'. Copy it to some location (/root for example) and edit it. All you have to change is the line '*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org'; just chose a FreeBSD CVS-mirror near you. Below you find the line 'src-all', this means you get all kernel and world sources. The line '*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6' points cvsup to the 6-STABLE branch. Then do a 'cvsup stable-supfile' and wait some time... Check out your /usr/src/, now you should have all files, including UPDATE. Now you can do a 'make buildworld', but remember to cd first into the /usr/src dir. Greetings Dhananjaya hiremath schrieb: Hello sir, Here we installed the FreeBSD 6.2 release and did the check out operation.Now we want to di rebuild the system by using # make buildworld but it giving error as make: don't know how to make buildworld. Stop another thing is that my /usr/src/ dir has only gnu and etc, but in handbook it is written as check the UPDATING in the dir /src. But there is no such file.So now how to rebuild the system. We checked the FreeBSD handbook aslo we are not getting the correct answers from there. Thank U Regards Dhananjaya Hiremath - Ahhh...imagining that irresistible new car smell?
