Re: i am facing these issues after my FreeBSD 6.2 installation.
Hi, This mail have to be in questions not hackers, but anyway .. ajay gopalakrishnan wrote: Hi, I've recently installed FreeBSD release 6.2 successfully except that the following things that i need importantly dont work. How should i do these? 1. I am using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). I am running FreeBSD on Vmware and i set the network connection as Bridged on Vmware. I configured my Ethernet device with the correct IP, Gateway, Netmask, DNS but i dont know how to start my internet on FreeBSD. All i do to connect to the internet on Windows is give my username and password. I also read the PPPoE chapter on the FreeBSD manual but of no use. How should i start PPoE on FreeBSD? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pppoe.html, but better look for mpd 2. I need Vim. I dont want to use Vi. I searched in my CD-1 and CD-2. But i could not find the package vim inside it. Since i am not able to connect to the internet is there any other way to install Vim ? well if you do not have the source or the packages .. you have to find a way to download it :) 3. How should i configure FreeBSD to start in X mode directly. Currently i have to do startx to start X on my machine. take a look at xdm, kdm and gdm :) 4. I want to make bash as the default shell instead of csh. Where is that configured? man vipw 5. Where are the kernel sources located? I need it because i want to do kernel network programming? Is having kernel sources sufficient or there are other dependencies also? src/sys are kernel sources. Where depends on your installation (normally /usr/src/sys/) 6. How do developers usually keep their kernel sources in sync with the main Central Kernel source? Do we use CVS or Subversion for this? if you are using freebsd 6.2 - man csup But best place to start is reading http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ and once you are familiar with FreeBSD you can read developers handbook.

How should i do these? this is the wrong list to ask such questions. I referred your email to the more appropriate list freebsd-questions. You might also find that the handbook can be quite helpful. 1. I am using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). I am running FreeBSD on Vmware and i set the network connection as Bridged on Vmware.

But i could not find the package vim inside it. Since i am not able to connect to the internet is there any other way to install Vim ? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/editors.html 3.

Is having kernel sources sufficient or there are other dependencies also? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-choosing.html 6. How do developers usually keep their kernel sources in sync with the main Central Kernel source? Do we use CVS or Subversion for this? Use a cvsup file along these lines: --- *default host=cvsup.XXX.FreeBSD.org *default base=/home//.cvsupdb *default prefix=/home//fcvs *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all doc-all www cvsroot-all --- After that cvs -d /home//fcvs co src will get you up and running. Ready to do cvs diff -u to check for the local changes you made etc. As a side note: If you can't figure out simple questions like this by your self, you will have a hard time to do actual development. We provide a large amount of documentation, but you must use it yourself! -- /\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News pgpqulhmkzOoM.pgp Description: PGP signature
