Newbies Question
REF : documentation http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html Hi, i'm installing FreeBSD in order to change my NT5.1 with Apache ftp server. I'm comming from IBM OS/390 mainframe and don't know anything on Unix like systems. I'm a C/C++ developper too. My question beeing very simple, i think you don't need technical information, but see on * lines below. Q : how to launch the Kernel Configuration Menu script as described on Ch 2.3.2 (fig. 2.1) ? i don't have any option to do that on the Loader Menu (i tried all) i tried to grep-find the script (or command) but fails. * i'm using/booting from FreeBSD 5.2.1, disc-1 * boot0 boot1 are Ok * Loader Ok * Sysinstall running Ok Note : a mini-install of 5.2.1 is currently installed on my HDD and seem to work properly. I would like to configure more accurately my Kernel now. Great thanks, FreeBSD is exactly what i want, -- Valéry Seys / Paris-France ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CVSup newbies question
Hello everyone, I have following the instruction on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html to install cvsup on my computer. I think CVSup is installed correctly and running smoothly. I am using CVSup to update my port trees. Does that mean I will get all the latest ports in /usr/ports/ after I run cvsup?

Remember, though, that the word port, in this sense, just means port skeleton - a set of files which tell your system how to obtain the source code (the distfiles) for a particular program, and how to compile and install it. cvsup will not put the distfiles themselves into /usr/ports. That will only happen when you cd into one of the directories under /usr/ports and issue a 'make' command. -Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It just means that your port tree will have the information needed to build the latest versions of the ports.
