Do the pkg_xxx applications have to be run under 'root'? I tried pkg_add mod_perl2 under my user name and got all sorts of complaints, but under root all seems to have worked. What if a user is not able to get to 'root', how does one get to try a port? Is there anything in the distribution to...

had this same problem and using one of several bootable utility CDs found both the orginal slice and the new one I had made with sysinstall were marked as bootable. Corrected this, by making the original slice the only bootable slice and the system came back. Mind, /etc/fstab was all messed up...

What is the general mount point on FreeBSD for additional hard_drives/slices. My time in HP was with /opt and /opt_local. Does the Forum advise adding a new mount point in /? Any implications to consider?

what is the virtual console key stroke to page up and down the 7 virtual consoles in a BSD server ?

I did not bother with trying to get XP hosting FreeBSD guest to see the XP world. I use the free open source winscp (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php) after setting sshd_enable="yes"' in /etc/rc.conf. This works fine and also gives putty (http://putty.very.rulez.org/download.html), ssh, access...

vi $( grep -il create `find . -type f` ) Illegal variable name. fairs no better, why should it, they are equivalent.

Why does vi `grep -il create \`find . -type f\` ` not work under tcsh, returns Unmatched `. Its ok in the other shells.

Question Sprewell pls. Where did the 2048 fragment size come from?

Moderators (DDeamon) could now close this as it contains a reference to a work around / solution.

Bad Bad SirDice. -20 points. A few bad sectors should not wipe out a .5G hard drive, especially when it is just one constant sector. You have been told this before from looking the in archives! Now I am getting to know my way round this site I find:-...

I am using the EEE from ebay as very cheap computing. I try and keep to the SSD ones as there is no hard drive, but not many about using the Atom. One advantage is that most ebay buyers want big HDD, so small SSD seem to be a premium. So a change in tactics, now trying the eee 701s, as they...

I have my first panic attack and I do not know what to do. I am sure I have a HDD sector problem as it always fails on the same LBA, as seen on the console in bright font, which must be saying something! After about 10 retries I get panic: ffs_blkfree OK - I remembered from a 103 years ago...

SirDice - NOT using sysinstall - I agree, but raises the skill level !! Using DutchDeamon's offering:- ian# pkg_info -W /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.4 pkg_info: /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.4: file cannot be found Already know that. The Ports reference is the GD I am trying to install (GD-Latest)...

Ummm - I use sysinstall and its not in the package options. This probably comes down to me not knowing how to install something from freebsdports where I have NO internet connection. Although helpful - its not the answer guys !

Trying to install libgd, because 'install Cpan::GD' complains. Download the libgd_latest and try to make after several ./config's. I get :- gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 -MT gdhelpers.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gdhelpers.Tpo -c gdhelpers.c -o gdhelpers.o >/dev/null 2>&1 if...

Well - all that went OK till I got:- mount_smbfs: cant get server address: syserr=Op TO. My command line:- mount_smbfs //a129878@xp/Rt /mnt 'xp' pings OK 'Rt' is from VBoxMange show info:- Shared folders: Name: 'Rt', Host path: 'C:\Documents and Settings\A129878\My Documents\Rt' (machine...

I did go through all that, but erroneously dismissed it as FreeBSD hosting VBx. Now comes the problem I have not cracked yet with FreeBSD. My FreeBSD's have no access to the internet (Corporate policy, not mine) Klik the ref of "virtualbox-ose-additions-3.1.51.r25618_2 " and then I am stuck...

XP Host - FreeBSD_8 Guest How can I mount my XP shared folder in the FreeBSD guest ? Most every thing else works in this set up. XP = Uptodate VBx = 314 FreeBSD = 8.0-RELEASE #0 Nov 21 15:48:17

I confirm the great SirDice's advice. I now use manual configurations as I am after using a very small EEE to run my FreeBSD_8(s).

Thanks fronclynne, Exc advice. I was a step in front of you and made / 1G. I was pondering the kernel symbols - there gone! Thks. Not using any X as I rekon my EEE will be in my backpack as a server. So when I am at clients, I use his PC via wireless (or mine) - Would look damn good don't U...
