RE: after upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1
Your procedure is almost identical to mine but I usually reboot after installing the new kernel, test it and then drop into single user mode to do the rest. The only exception is your step #7, I don't do it and wondering why you have it in there. Maybe I've been doing it wrong all along -Yuri i think thats out of the handbook if i recall. here is the reference: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html under section 21.4.5 no issues so far. its just another way to get into single user mode after a reboot. i do the kernel stuff in multiuser mode, all the other compiling in multiuser mode, and then drop to single user mode to installworld.

RE: Cvsup verses Portsnap
The FreeBSD ports system + portsnap + portupgrade is a truly awesome combination, much better than any other package management system I've ever used on other systems. I'm currently working on a little port configuration tool to make tweaking all the port Make knobs more convenient. Portmanager already has this I believe. You can add config options to the portmanager config file and it will use them when building things. For example: # # custom settings # # remove # to use # # #textproc/docproj|JADETEX=no| #java/jdk14|-DMINIMAL| #textproc/libxml2|THREADS=off SCHEMA=on MEM_DEBUG=off XMLLINT_HIST=off THREAD_ALLOC=off| # # ## ##do not let portmanager update the following ports #IGNORE|editors/openoffice-1.1| #IGNORE|java/jdk14| www/horde|WITHOUT_WV=yes WITHOUT_XL=yes WITHOUT_X11=yes WITH_MAGICK=yes| mail/imp|WITHOUT_LDAP=yes WITHOUT_SMIME=yes WITH_DOVECOT=yes| graphics/ImageMagick|WITHOUT_X11=yes| print/ghostscript-gnu|WITHOUT_X11=yes| works well for me so far. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: after upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1
If you followed those instructions, you used the wrong cvsup tag. Set the tag to: *default release=cvs delete tag=RELENG_6_1 in your cvsupfile, and rebuild everything again. -Derek Hi, You used my page (mikestammer.com) to upgrade. =) Notice the comment in the standard-supfile says: # use 'RELENG_6' for STABLE or 'RELENG_6_0' for RELEASE As others have mentioned, you would use: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1 To get FreeBSD 6.1. I added a note to make it a little clearer: NOTE: Change the cvs tag as appropriate for what you are trying to do! IE if you want FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE, use *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1 and so on.

RE: Help! FreeBSD Webserver with two NICs
I think you might help me I want to run a webserver which will be having a good traffic. At present, I have a 100/10 Mbps internet connection (fiber-optics) but with this connection I cannot get Fixed IP for the webserver. To get the Fixed-IP, I am getting a 24/1 Mbps internet line through Telephone line. But I am just in doubt that my webserver might not be able to server the documents with good serving speed due to 1 Mbps upstream... So, I came to an idea that if I use two NICs, one NIC bounded to 100/10 Mbps to serve the pages and one which would be bound with 24/1 Mbps connection with Fixed-IP to litsen the requests my Question is that is it possible and if so, how? I am planning to install FreeBSD as a OS. Holy cow where do you live for those speeds? Can you use a service like DynDNS.org and just use the 100/10 connection? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Is Squirrelmail the best webmail choice?
ive used squirrelmail for quite a while, and i just want to make sure i have my mind as open as possible here. are there any other choices for webmail that are about as easy as SM to configure, but offer a better user interface or experience? ive heard of horde, but ive not seen it since early 2000 or so, and even then, when i tried to set it up, it was a complete and total failure. I used SM for a LONG time and recently switched to Horde. I like it A LOT better. Sure it was more work to get going, but its not terrible. They just fixed the horde ports so that your config doesn't get renamed when you upgrade, so that's a good thing! Start with horde and imp only, get that working, then add the other horde modules as you need them. The thing with SM is that it doesn't get updated enough (for me anyways). Sure little security updates, but theres been no movement on 1.5 in forever.
