32 GIG, SDHC card

I have Toshiba R200 laptop that with its BIOS capable of booting from its SD card slot. Is there a way I can install minimal FreeBSD. The laptop hard drive died. It can boot from USB sticks but I don't want to use them as they are less convenient (sticks out from rear of the laptop). I...

I have a Seagate 500MB external hard drive. I have installed FreeBSD 8.1 (minimal) from a CDrom. During installation I specified that I would like FreeBSD boot loader to be installed (as I was planning to booth alternate OS if future). At the time of installation the disk was clean with 100G...

I was installing "octave" on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0 with pkg_add -r octave and the installation stops failing to fetch pdflib package stating that package file related to pdflib does not exist. After lot of search on the net and FreeBSD form, I gathered that I had no choice but to get PDFLib...

How do you do it ??? I have HP iPAQ 1940 with SAMSUNG S3C2410 processor. I tried to install Familiar/Opie on it but with limited success. Never got the GUI up ... System appears to hang after mounting SD card. Perhaps I can go down the route of NetBSD??? But I need some help. To get me...

Wonderful, it worked after mounting the proc with the following entry in /etc/fstab proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 Very strange that packages that rely on /proc do not do this on the fly.

I get the greeter after boot process is finished.

Please see all the info that is being asked for. Looks like both hal & dbus are running. polkit-auth --show-obtainable? returns No match %/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald status hald is running as pid 977. %/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus status dbus is running as pid 813. ======================= %cat...

Thanks for pointing the typo. I am pretty sure I had gnome_enable=yes. If the "exec gnome-session" in .xinitrc does not bypass GDM, then am I not using Gnome through GDM??? Then how do I solve the issue of "greyed out" menu issue???

Thanks a lot for your help. Now I did more digging, I did stick in "gnome_enabled=yes" in /etc/rc.conf. But now come to think of it I did have an entry in ~/.xinitrc exec gnome-session. Now I learnt that this will bypass gdm. I will remove this entry and see what happens tomorrow when I get...

All admin menus are disabled in GNOME I recently installed FreeBSD 7.2 with GNOME as my desktop. All adminstration menus (like network config) are greyed out. I tried loggin in as root to see if this behaviour changes. But to no avail. b.t.w here is the PolicyKit configuration. (This PolicyKit...
