  What is the easiest way to copy a complete cdrom with freebsd-4.11?

  down and I need the copy soon. So please forgive me if I'm ignorant.
  Hope the answer is easy ;-)
 
 you could try :
 
 dd if=/dev/acd0 of=~/my_cd_image
 and then use burncd to burn that onto cdrom

Try dd if=/dev/acd0 of=~/my_cd_image bs=2048 for data CDs, it helps :)

Re: Floppy drive with other memory device slots

 I was wandering through Comp-USA this morning and I noticed a floppy

 secure digital cards.  I found it on their web site at:

 It appears to be made by a company called FMI.  I could not seem to find
 an operatble link to the vendor or guess correctly at a URL.  Google
 seems to bring me back to Comp-USA's web site.  I found some hardware
 requirements that make me think this plugs into the FDD cable and there
 may be a jumper that goes to a set of USB pins on the motherboard.
 
 The FBSD 5.2.1 hardware notes page didn't seem to say anything about a
 device like this.  However, if my reading betwen the lines of the
 hardware requirements is accurate, it sounds like it could just drop
 right in and work with generic drivers.
 
 I'm thinking about building a multiheaded X desktop in a small case to
 save desktop space.  This drive, since I would have to pick up a floppy
 drive anyway, appears to be a versitile option for a SFF machine.
 
 Anybody have any information/experience with something like this?
 TIA...

In general you'll find that it plugs into the floppy connector for the
floppy part (obviously!) and then into a internal USB plug/port on
your motherboard for the card reader stuff. I've not actually tried
any myself yet, but from what I've read other places that's the basic
idea

the NDIS emulation layer which was introduced after FreeBSD 5.2.1 (think

SquirrelMail has no POP3 mode, I'd suggest it's something to

Then install squirrelmail, it looks like you have Apache 2 installed and

  Then install squirrelmail, it looks like you have Apache 2 installed and

 Unfortunately, the Makefile for the squirrelmail port says:
 
 RUN_DEPENDS+=   ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/mod_php4
 
 which means that if ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so cannot be
 found at compile/install time, the squirrelmail port will try and
 install mod_php4 to fulfil the dependency.  Since you've already
 installed mod_php4 with the -DWITH_APACHE2 flag, causing the loadable
 module to be installed as ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache2/libphp4.so, the
 system will try and reinstall mod_php4, which you've already
 discovered doesn't work.
 
 One solution is to patch the squirrelmail port Makefile:

Good point, will submit a patch to do that in the squirrelmail port
tonight.

 Hi,
 
 I went to the palmos.com site to get some rom for my
 pose, but the only rom they seemed to have were for
 windows or mac. Where do I get my rom from? Thanks.

Try downloading the windows versions and using unzip?
Works for me

 Does Matrox' Parhelia work for anyone on FreeBSD? With X11 on two or three 
 digital monitors? Thanks!

Matrox have a beta driver for it here:
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/lnx_p018.cfm

I have no idea what it supports though (try
ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2002/readme_018.txt
for detailed info)

Re: [ad8] external laptop drive?

 Hello Family,
 
 I have a laptop (Toshiba-1715) running FreeBSD-4.6.2 and I have
 an external IBM_Travelstar 8-gig drive with of course a SCSI
 based PCMCIA card to connect to the IDE drive, all of which are
 from IBM.
 
 On boot the drive is fully recognized in dmesg with:
 
 ad8: 7815MB IBM-DYLA-28100 [15880/16/63] at ata4-master BIOSPIO
 
 And I'm assuming that the ad8 means /dev/ad8 but my /dev/ad*
 directory entries end at /dev/ad3s4.
 
 Can anyone share any information on this?

As root:
cd /dev  sh MAKEDEV ad8

Re: WebMail Options

2002-07-17 Thread Simon Dick

I use it too, but the problem is that it requires an IMAP server as a
backend, I read his request as needing to use a POP3 server :|

 i use SquirrelMail its in the ports
 
 
  -Multiple domains - yes
  -POP3 - if you mean retriving email from pop3 clients than yes
  -Runs on FreeBSD, Apache,  CGI or PHP preferably - apache + php
  -SSL Option + broswer built

  We have looked at OpenWebmail and cannot seem to allow it to work
  with multiple domains (hosting environment). Anyone with documentation
  on how to, would be greatly appreciated.
 
  We have looked at Uebimiau for the longest time try to solve a bug.
  We have tried to contact the author several times without success.
  Below is my original post, hopefully someone who is using it can offer
  some further insight.
 
  Found here: http://www.uebimiau.sili.com.br/
 
  On a FreeBSD 4.6R server, when I send a message through the web
  interface, the recipient will see the following in the header fields
 within their
  (any) mail client software (note the comments after each line):
 
  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // which is right
  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] @server.mydomain.com // which is NOT right
  CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] @server.mydomain.com // which is again
 not right
  Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // which is right
 
  Any idea how can I stop the server from appending it's (or another) mail
 server name
  after the 'To:' field. I have tried tweaking the code with no positive
 results.
 
  We have also tried relaying the mail through the server Webmail is setup
 on,
  right through sendmail, and two other FreeBSD servers running Sendmail.
 
  We have tried contacting the author several times, as well as the FAQ,
 site, etc.
 
  Appreciate any assistance. Thank you,
 
 
  ..D

Re: Release 4.5 and 4.6 - Boot.flp 2.8 mb?

 I have checked both releases 4.5 and 4.6, the boot.flp file is 2.8mb?? How 
 can that be transferred to a single floppy?
 I've searched everywhere and found no answers.
 When trying to copy to a floppy Rawrite just registers an error - bad 
 sector: 1
 
 Should the file be split and if so how?

The 2.88mb floppy image is usually used to boot the cdrom, or for people
with 2.88mb floppy drives. If you have the more common 1.44mb one then
you need to write kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to seperate floppies.
