Anyone know why my download of 7.0-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso stops at 402,668k? I tried 2 different mirrors.

How would I install something like gnome on computer A, when I already have it built no computer B? I'd just rebuild it on computer A but it's old, slow, and doesn't have much HD space? Can I just tar up some files, ftp them over, untar, then what? Or if computer B is running FTP, can I do a sysinstall or something using that computer as a source? Would I have to 'create' the packages or anything?

I understand that FreeBSD 8 is right around the corner and was wondering what your thoughts on it's use are. Conventional wisdom for software is to never use a release until it's first update, but I was wondering if there are any reasons why I should consider using 8. Or, for that matter, why I should specifically avoid it. 7.2 is the other option. Do you care about any of the following: http://ivoras.sharanet.org/freebsd/freebsd8.html

Who's using dual monitors with FreeBSD? I am thinking about switching my workstation over from Linux. 64-bit or 32-bit? NVIDIA or AMD? I plan on running a pair of 24" at 1920x1200 or whatever the max is.

FreeBSD 7.3 RC is out: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-February/055146.html NetBSD 5.0.2 is out: http://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-5/NetBSD-5.0.2.html Nothing new going on with OpenBSD. I installed it on a 266MHz a few weeks back, it installed very quickly and runs great. It took hours to shoehorn even the most basic installs of _other_unix_like_os onto it.

Megaman posted:What is the difference between port and source? Isn't that the same thing? A port is the source for a program, but setup to be built on FreeBSD. A package is a pre-compiled binary of that program. You could download the source to a program and build it, but you'd have to make all kinds of changes to the configuration (and also install the files when you're done building it), ports are basically that work all done for you. You'd almost always want to use a port/package, unless for some strange reason there wasn't one for that program (new/old program or something).

GregNorc posted:Ok, so I just got a Thinkpad X201, and I'd like to run FreeBSD on it. What image did you use? The memstick .img or a CD/DVD .iso? Also, 7.x or 8.0? I know unetbootin has some quirks, try using https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download If it's not booting and you have your BIOS setup right, than it's just an issue with the USB stick you made being bootable or written right. It can be tricky the first few times you do it.

Masked Pumpkin posted:I have an OpenBSD box running pf on my network, and it's been a great success. It occurred to me that it might be fun to redirect sound from pflog (or at least tcpdump) to /dev/audio, but this is failing - I think because the output is not in any format recognisable to the device and/or because it's a continuous stream. I don't particularly care about hearing any and every thing that goes through the network, but would be interested in having some pf rules output a random .au file to the device.

TheShitWagon posted:Has anyone had any problems with pkg_add randomly hanging in OpenBSD? It seems to run fine while retrieving the first couple dependencies but then just hangs in the middle of pulling in any successive ones. I've tried letting it sit now for over 10 hours and it's still stuck at 0% on opensp-1.5.2. This seems to happen regardless of my specifying an ftp or http mirror in the PKG_PATH and I have had no connectivity problems to speak of. -v Turn on verbose output. Several -v turn on more verbose output. By default, pkg_add is almost completely silent, but it reacts to keyboard status requests (see stty(1)). -v turns on basic messages, -vv adds relevant system operations, -vvv shows most internal computations apart from individual file/directory addi- tions, -vvvv also shows dependencies adjustments, and -vvvvv shows everything. Run it with one of those options and see if anything looks out of the ordinary.

I wasn't paying attention to an install once on 250GB system, and the autodefaults still only gave me something like 1 or 1.5GB. It starting giving me errors when I built something that started building GNOME. ended up re-building the server the next day with 10GB instead. It was just a test server or else I would have stole some space from home and left it unallocated for poo poo like this in the future.

I took a machine down to compile the kernel (which took ~ 20 minutes) and then build the userland, and that took another 90 minutes. If it were an important machine, would it be better to build on another box and copy everything over? ie build a release?

I'll see if I can't get ahold of him today and get the exact model of what he has. I know he said the board + 4 gigs of ram was less than $250 I've found older Xeon Dell servers with 4GB and 2-4 HD's for $100 on eBay/CL. The bad thing is the HD's are usually only 73GB or something small. I've been wanting one to play with ZFS on but just haven't bought one yet. I can't wait until the current Dell servers with the SATA drives hit the used market.

porkface posted:Bonus points if I can get it to recognize the keyboard as soon as the KVM switches to the BSD machine. I thought that's what KVMs were for. Not sure if that's a software issue. I have had servers that if you didn't have the KVM on, and active, when the system went through the BIOS it wouldn't recognize the keyboard until you rebooted. It would also gently caress up the keyboard repeat rate and stuff after you switched to another port. It was a Belkin 'intelligent' KVM that was supposed to fix that issue. Bah.

It's been that way since the 7.something days, so if you're new to FreeBSD, you'll wonder what the hell is going on the first time you type 'startx'. It's not like you have to do it in OpenBSD or anything. I don't remember exactly why, but they don't do it automatically for a reason. However, it is done (obviously) if you install X to run out of the box. There are ways to get around using hald/dbus: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=3935 hald can be very annoying with certain hardware situation

You just dd the .iso to the USB drive (format it first, not sure if it matters but I always do). If you have a Ubuntu or Fedora box you should be able to use the USB creator tool to make it. You don't want to extract the ISO or anything like that. You're using the 8.1-RELEASE-MEMSTICK.IMG or whatever it's called, right?

Telex posted:is there a BSD install that works with ZFS that is more along the lines of running Ubuntu, or at least an installer that sorta dumbs it down at least a little? The first 2-3 times you install it, it can be intimidating. But after that, you'll be spoiled by how fast the install goes and how little it interferes with what you want to do. Just read the handbook while you're installing and keep your fingers crossed. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/install-start.html
