I think this Q is pretty basic, but I just want to make sure. I was

A SIGHUP signal to a running process needs a signal
handler like
signal( SIGHUP ,startlogging);
What sort of end statement needs to be in the function
called to allow program execution to resume back in the main
caller?

I second the statement about BIOS checks taking a long

seems like forever when one is trying to get back on line quickly.

are you using 7.0-RELEASE--bootonly.iso or 7.0-RELEASE--Disc1.iso
the later has the files on it and can be installed without any network

Hi William,
Look here --> ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-amd64/7.0
That is where I obtained the ISO's from.

Hi,
FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE detects one of my three SATA disks as "ata2-slave".
I thought SATA did away with the master/slave ugliness of PATA.
Thinking maybe this was misleading output from FreeBSD, I did some
concurrent writes using dd. Sure enough, I see poor performance on
concurrent writes to

I currently have a FreeBSD machine that acts as a router and
fileserver for my local home network. I'm hoping to set up a wireless
access point so I don't have to steal my neighbour's wireless. The PC
I'm using for FreeBSD has no free PCI slots so I'm forced to settle
for a USB device. I'

Thanks everyone, based on the info I am returning the nvidia card and
getting an R4xx instead (found an X850 for under $80 still sold; seems to be
well enough supported). I still want to try amd64; other limitations do not
bother me that much (I do not care for wine or win32 codecs).

Howdy people,
I need to setup a VPN connection to the university's network. Now, there's a
chapter in the handbook about "VPN over IPsec" and there seems to be this
thing called OpenVPN in the ports collection. Which is the better way to go?
All I need is to obtain an IP address within the univer

The first time I open my desktop System icon, and select Storage Media, I have
to select View...Refresh to see anything.
Is this the way it works on everyone else's system, or do I need to configure
something?
It's not a big deal, just wondering if I can "fix" it by configuration.
