Solved Wow, finally it works perfectly. All got my thanks.

Thanks, it helped me. But there is another problem - when I try to overwrite the file "/etc/fstab", it tells me that the file is "read-only" and when I try to change the file permissions with command "chmod" it writes: "Read-only file system". Maybe the problem is that that I am not login as...

Next problem... I have tried this one (it's the only one that worked): ufs:ad4s3a and it worked but now it asks me this one: Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: When I type only ENTER I finally came into FreeBSD shell but now the shell cannot understand the statement "vi" so...

A little more instructions... Sorry, but I am new to UNIX. Could you please give me a litte more instructions what to do? Thanks.

Hi, I have just installed "FreeBSD 7.0" to my computer and right after that everything worked fine. Now I have "2 operating systems" on my computer - "Windows XP" and "FreeBSD 7.0". I have it on notebook from "HP" and before when I had installed only Windows on computer, I could "enable" the...

Successfully installed I am just confirming that FreeBSD installation have successfully finished without any other problems. Once more a BIG THANKS to all who helped me. Now I can start "playing" with FreeBSD. Bye.

Oh, I have tried that and now it seems to be OK. You will certainly get my thanks. I will try to install it and I will tell here if I was successful. Thanks once more.

But I don't want to install FreeBSD to that extended partition, I have it created for Windows XP data. I want to install FreeBSD to the new 3rd partition - just after "C:" and "D:" (these are for Windows, not for FreeBSD). The main problem remains the same: Why do I have so little free...

"What FDISK says"... Before FDISK utility this screen is shown: And after that follows this one: Try to look at the blue-marked line: in the 2nd column (size of sector) there is the value "21 168" which is approximately "7 MB". But I have about "12 000 MB" of free space, no just "7...

I have checked it again by Windows XP installer "partitioning tool": C: Partition [NTFS] 32765 MB D: Partition [NTFS] 30718 MB Unpartitioned space 12825 MB Unpartitioned space 8 MB so there IS a free space of "12825 MB" but "FreeBSD...

Veeeeery confused... Hi again, now I am veeeery confused with that "FDISK Partition Editor". First of all, I will describe my current situation: ======================================= I have "one 74 GB" (in my 1st post I was wrong, it's "8 000 000 000 bytes", not "80 GB") hard-disk. I...

Hi, I have tried to install "FreeBSD v7.0" to my computer and before I got into "FDISK Partition Editor" I had got the following WARNING: =============================================== WARNING: A geometry of 155061/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect (...and about 7 uninteresting lines below it :)...

Thanks "ale", you've got my thanks.

Does GParted support "file-system for FreeBSD"? I have just visited the home page of "Gnome Partition Editor" (GParted) and in their features there was an "interesting" table with supported "file-systems". There were 13 mentioned file-systems and 12 of them could be created with GParted...

Hi, I have a little problem. Story: "Let's say that I have just bought the new "clear" computer. Let's say it has one hard-disk, for simplicity. Ok, I have bought computer, but it is empty. What now? Ahaaa, let's install to it some operating system. Wait, but I don't want there to be...

Separated partitions - better solution? Oh god, it seems that to create the common data place for both operating systems has a little bit limitations (for example, cannot use NTFS fs on WinXP and it is a pity for larger hard disks, isn't it, ...). So there is another question: Is it...

Another 2 questions... Thanks for all your answers. First of all, I have never had UNIX system before (I had it only at school) so I don't ever understand what the term "mounting" means. Currently I have Windows system installed and I have set it up now so that I have hard disk divided to 2...

Hi, I have "Windows XP" installed on my computer and I would like to install also the "FreeBSD" OS (I have never had it before :\) so that I will have 2 operating systems on it. But I have a little problem. As I know, on UNIX systems the directory structure has only "one" root, so nothing like...
