cvsup package installation problem
Dear FreeBSD people, I have a cvsup package installation problem, need your precious help urgently. I have a FreeBSD4.3-release mail server, I need to to upgrade to 4.7-release inorder to configure SMTPAUTH feature. According to the article on internet of http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/s1g/ For FreeBSE4.3, I need to use cvsup-16.le.tgz. So I downloaded cvsup-16.le.tgz and put it in /usr/db/pkg/ As root user, I use the command #cd /usr/db/pkg # pkg_add cvsup-16.le.tgz Then I cp the ../examples/ports-supfiles to /root/; and vi this file, gave the site name as cvsup.au.freebsd.org Then I issue command #cd /root/ #cvsup ports-supfiles I got the error, cvsup: Command not found So it seems my package installation is not very successful. In this case, can you please help out on this? Thank you very much Jennifer Zhao ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Groff installation problem (FreeBSD-4.8)
I've verified, after a few system rebuilds, that the groff installation is
doing something wrong. The end result is the general failure of the
manpage subsystem. Here's what's happening:
The general error I'll get when attempting to process any manpage (via
man or just groff/nroff) is:
troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char
Running an strace on nroff shows:
[ snip ]
sigaction(SIGSYS, {SIG_DFL}, NULL) = 0
read(10, #!/bin/sh\n# Emulate nroff with g..., 1023) = 1023
break(0x80c3000)= 0

) = 6377

wait4(-1, [WIFEXITED(s) WEXITSTATUS(s) == 1], 0x2, NULL) = 6379
read(10, , 1023) = 0
exit(1) = ?
I note that /usr/local/share/groff contains:
# ls /usr/local/share/groff/*/*
/usr/local/share/groff/1.19/eign
/usr/local/share/groff/1.19/font:
devX100 devX75 devasciidevhtml devlbp
devps
devX100-12 devX75-12 devdvi devlatin1 devlj4
devutf8
whereas under /usr/share/groff_font, we have also:
# ls /usr/share/groff_font
devX100 devX75-12 devdvi devlatin1 devps
devX100-12 devasciidevhtml devlbp devutf8
devX75 devcp1047 devkoi8-r devlj4
moving /usr/local/share/groff has the result of this error:
groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'

exit(1)
So, it seems clearly that something is wrong with the installation. I've
tried recompiling from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff and installing, as well
as multiple CVSup updates, to no avail.
What is wrong?

Re: FreeBSD installation problem
I've tried to install FreeBSD 4.8 Stable on my computer about 5 times but every damn time I get an error when the installation reaches the dependence install.

I've seen similar problems when memory was on the way out... Or maybe a broken memory chip?

installation problem in the very beginning
Hello, I am a newby of FreeBSD and I was triying to install the 4.8 version in a Pentium 200 MMX, 96 MB RAM and 3.4 GB of hard disk, and I got a problem in the very beginning of the installation. I have written both boot disks (kernel.flp and mfsroot.flp) and everything seems to go fine until a point at which the computer stops and shows me this: md0: raw partition size !=slice size md0: start0, end 8638, size 8639 md0c: start0, end 8639, size 8640 md0: truncating raw partition md0: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice md0: start0, end 8638, size 8639 md0c: start0, end 8639, size 8640 The question is: am I going to be capable to install FreeBSD on this machine?

post-installation problem
Hi, I have installed FreeBSD 4.0 on my PC I did boot from CDROM, but in the Media I had to put DOS, cause my PC refuses to install everything from CDROM (may be not of supported type). So, I copied whole CDROM to C/FREEBSD, and I used DOS partition for install. Everything went O.K. I configured and installed my new kernel, system did boot with no problem, but now, when I'd like to install something from Packges (like shells or less), I get only a message that it was impossible to find and get system distribution files. I tried to fetch packages and from DOS and from existing FreeBSD file system (I copied whole disk in /usr/FREEBSD), but it doesn't work.I can not install any program.

Did you read the ports section of the handbook? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html With something as old as FreeBSD 4.0, you're going to have trouble installing anything not already on your CD, as that software is getting rather old. You'll find the easiest way to install packages is to throw in your CD, run /stand/sysinstall and choose CD-ROM as the media. If your CD-ROM doesn't work at all under FreeBSD, you'll have to find the .tgz file that contains the package you want and manually install it using the pkg_add command. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: post-installation problem
Hi, I have installed FreeBSD 4.0 on my PC Not specifically an answer to your question, but, is there a reason you are attempting a new install of such an old version of FreeBSD? If not, I would suggest installing V 4.8. You should have not trouble installing things from /usr/ports or packages if you start with the recent version. jerry I did boot from CDROM, but in the Media I had to put DOS, cause my PC refuses to install everything from CDROM (may be not of supported type).

Installation Problem
Hi. I'm trying to install release 5.0 on an i386 system with a P100 processor with native windows 95 on the hard disk. I have 16mb ram and a 1.2GB IDE Wester Digital Caviar. Because the computer does not support CD booting and I have not been able to find a way to change boot order in the bios, I created boot disks as described in the install.txt. The kernel and the mfsroot load fine, but when it boots the kernel it freezes on the line Mounting root from ufs:dev/md0/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0. It is detecting my cd-rom drive, which is a secondary slave. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Everything works fine until I select CD/DVD for the media, when the Installation tells me that my CD seems more like an Audio Disc than a FreeBSD install disc.

If you know of any solution to this problem, I would be grateful for your assistance. only thing i can come up with is that the iso file you burned was either corrupted or you are using a CD-RW in a non CD-RW drive. Altho that is not supposed to work at all, i have an old 16X speed drive here who can read some things from a CD-RW but fails to read most of it (and it doesn't support CD-RW).

Re: Epson Stylus Color installation problem
First let me tell you that I they gave me the solution, so now my driver prints: I had installed ghostscript as a pkg when the ghostscript driver (stp stcolor) required by apsfilter was only available through compilation from the port. I had no luck with cups, not even the web interface wanted to open, nor the commands to answer . I suppose I'll have to study how this application works some day (the ghostscript Makefile warns: stp is outdated). yes I'm using ulpt0 - sorry if I don't catch the difference between I/O services! no, before installing the driver it was not possible to print anything! Anyway many thanks for your concern.
