Re: DragonFlyBSD fast introduction for Italian Perl Workshop
Ok, on 9 september I'll have a lighting talk about DragonFlyBSD at Italian Perl Workshop in Turin (Torino). http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ipw2011/ http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ipw2011/talk/3801 I'll prepare soon some slides and I'll ask you for help to improve them.

I guess that kvm provides a DHCP client? In this just add a line ifconfig_XXX0="DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf. XXX stands for the interface name, you can get an overview by typing "ifconfig". If you need to configure a fixed address, use ifconfig_XXX0="inet 10.0.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up". More details can be found in rc.conf(5) and the handbook, available on the wiki. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
Re: Introduction
According to wikipedia, mosquito-hawk can apply to dragonflies, damselflies or craneflies. Meadowhawk is much more specific - it is a member of the genus Sympetrum - in England we call these Darters. Sympetrum is part of the family libelludiae - (perchers/skimmmers/darters/chasers are various English names) - the most advanced (and relatively recent - the earliest dragonfly ancestors were 320 million years old) dragonfly family. I have received confirmation from Kathy Briggs - a prolific Californian author of books on dragonflies - but not the BSD variety - that Fred is indeed a Cardinal Meadowhawk (shes says a fairly young male). This confirms that Fred is one of the most technologically sophisticated of all dragonflies - the equivalent of an SIS. Meanwhile, I have managed to install 1.12 in a virtual machine on my Linux 64-bit quad core box. I didn't attempt to configure the network when I did the installation, thinking that as I was running under KVM, I would not need to (that was the case when I set up FreeBSD 6.3 last weekend). However I can't ping 10.0.2.2 (which is the virtual DHCP server that KVM provides to the guest), so I guess I should have done it. But I don't know what command to type to bring up those configuration menus again - I can't find it mentioned in the DragonFly handbook (flight manual?). Please help. On 26/02/2008, B.

Re: Introduction
If you use "dragonflies names" one starting with each alphabeth letter, like big storms, then you can use names and still have a pretty nice order, since after the "i dont know the name starting with A" you got the "i dont know the name starting with B" but sure you will have the "i got no idea wich version is this one, starting with J branch starting with L, RC4". So... 1.12... right? ;-) Sdav On Tue, Feb 26, 2008 at 7:57 AM, Michael Neumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sascha Wildner wrote: > > Michael Neumann wrote: > >> While reading your post I got an idea for future DragonFlyBSD releases. > >> Why not name them according to dragonfly species? > >> I think there should be enough till the next millenium ;-) > > > > Hmm, am I the only one who is glad that we _don't_ have fancy codenames > > for releases? > > Hm, I don't like codenames as well, despite liking the idea :) > > I can easily remember a version number, while I forget names very > quickly, because they usually have no meaning (e.g. Intel codenames :). > > But if used rarely, codenames might be a nice and funny thing.

Hm, I don't like codenames as well, despite liking the idea :) I can easily remember a version number, while I forget names very quickly, because they usually have no meaning (e.g. Intel codenames :).

Hello DragonFlyBSD users, I have just seen the word DragonFlyBSD for the first time today (on the KVM wiki). I am a software engineer and also a dragonfly recorder (yes, I record the numbers and species of dragonflies and damselflies in Hurst Grange Park, Penwortham, Lancashire, England). So I could not resist taking a look. This last weekend, I installed FreeBSD 6.3 in a KVM virtual machine running under Linux (x86_64). I had never used any flavour of BSD at all before, nor had I any familiarity with KVM, so it was quite an experience. The reason I did this was that a user of my XSLT 2.0 processor, Gestalt (http://gestalt.sourceforge.net) had requested a FreeBSD binary. Now I just HAVE to have a DragonFlyBSD binary to unify my website (http://colina.demon.co.uk) which is all about Gestalt and dragonflies. So I shall be giving it a go this weekend. I P.S. Can someone tell me the scientific name of the species pictured in the mascot?
