Re: [freenet-support] Getting started question...
I'll probably have that box dual-purpose as Freenet/i2P node. With Frost running, if it has a GUI, right? I wonder how hard it would be to get Frost to run as a background process, like Freenet. -todd No, probably not. I'll intall a GUI that I'll use now and then, but for the most part, the GUI won't be running, it'll just be a box sitting in the corner. I figured I'd let Freenet run for a few weeks with the Announce option set in the ini file and rely on it just routing stuff from other people in order to help integrate it. And of course, I'll use it remotely from my desktop system now and then myself. I'm not really setup for multiple PC's here. I just have the one monitor/keyboard/mouse and no A/B switch, so I'll have to hook all that stuff up to the Linux box, get it up and running, then pull it all off and put it back on my regular desktop system. I'll probably be running a buncha stuff off that box, off and on. There's a lot of things I've wanted to try, but haven't been able to, cuz I really need a separate box to do 'em. Mandrake 10.1, Freenet, i2P, maybe setup an Apache server, maybe a streaming media or possibly FTP server, etc, etc, etc...

Re: [freenet-support] Getting started question...
Yeah, it would be. I dunno, maybe it'd create too much overhead. Sure would help integration though. Though after playin' around with i2P, I dunno that Freenet will have much of a future anyway. It's a nice idea, but it just doesn't seem to work too well. I've tried it numerous times, and I've never had much luck navigating anywhere inside Freenet. I'm gonna setup a dedicated Freenet node in the next few days, so I'll let that run for a while on it's own for a few weeks and see how it develops, but as of right now, it doesn't impress me too much. I'll probably have that box dual-purpose as Freenet/i2P node. Don Dave Hooper wrote: Freenet doesn't spider stuff.

After initially setting up Freenet, (I set it to announce in the config) will it only download and cache sites I try to visit, or if I leave it running, will it just start to spider stuff automatically up to my store's set MB limit? ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [freenet-support] Startup question
The automatic startup is just a property of Windows. If you don't want something to run automatically, just delete the startup shortcut (it's on your Program Files menu off the Windows menu start button ...). It's not a proprietary technology, it's just a link, and it's the same for every other application in Windows, for every version of Windows. This is THE most obvious solution, and it is surprising you didn't try this yet. Alternatively, when you installed Freenet, if you don't tick the "Create shortcuts" box on the installer then the installer won't create the startup shortcuts... If you leave that box ticked, then the Freenet installer will create shortcuts which cause it to run automatically... Transient, on the other hand, is NOTHING to do with automatic startup. If you want to know what transient means, try asking in the freenet-dev mailing list. Otherwise, just ignore that and leave it alone. - Original Message - From: "Don Gregory" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 6:14 PM Subject: [freenet-support] Startup question It appears that Freenet wants to modify the startup section of my Windows config so that it fires up automatically at a reboot. I don't care for this. I want to be able to launch it manually. I hate things starting automatically. Is there any way to change this? I tell Spy Sweeper to remove that, but it comes back almost immediately, even if the Freenet process isn't running. I thought maybe the grayed-out option to set the node to transient would be what controls that, but when I check the option on the Serious Geeks tab to allow me to change those options on the main page, it says it needs to restart the node for changes to take effect. When the node restarts, those options are still grayed out, and the checkbox on the Serious Geeks tab is un-checked again. I also tried looking through Freenet.ini for anything that might apply to the auto-startup, but I didn't find anything about "startup" or "transient" anywhere in the ini file. So, since none of the obvious solutions are working, here I am. Anybody know how to do this?
