FreeBSD installation help ...

Hi all,

i am a Slackware user (running 9.1 at the moment) and looking to migrate to FreeBSD. A have a couple of questions regarding the installation.In particular i would like to know about partitioning , X and modem configurations.

Now to the first part : choosing/allocating partitions. I have the following set up under Slackware .

~$ cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 <---------- 512mb /dev/hda6 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 <---------- 4.0G /dev/hda5 /windows vfat defaults 1 0 <---------- 11G ..... .....

I would like to have the same set up for my BSD box. Ok , here is what i have done so far pic 1 , pic 2 , pic 3 .The problem is that i can't seem to chose my swap slice (the one i created in Slackware see picture 2) :-( !

$lspci # video card 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 86C326 5598/6326 (rev d2) The second thing is about X. Can i just copy my slack XFreeconfig and use it (i am guessing it's not possible)? If so , do i just write down a all the info regarding my monitor / video card (see below) and and use it when asked to configure X ? My XFree86config : # ********************************************************************** # Monitor section # ********************************************************************** # Any number of monitor sections may be present Section "Monitor" Identifier "My Monitor" # HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified. # HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a # comma separated list of ranges of values. # NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.

And lastly i have a question about configuring my Lucent modem in BSD. Is it going to be as simple as getting the same sources i used for Slack and compiling to get a module ?



Thanks .

Question #1:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+FreeBSD-3.html
Google is your friend, this was the very first hit for "freebsd linux sharing swap".

Question #2:
A copy should be fine, why didn't you try it and see if it worked?

Question #3:
Winmodems suck. But if you insist on refusing to buy a real modem (and I can't believe people still insist on not buying one):

cd /usr/ports/comms/ltmdm
make install clean

It should work with that but I had some serious stability issues for the 10 seconds I tried it out on a friend's computer. Lucky for him, he got smart and invested in a real modem.

Thanks :-) . The easiest way would be to delete the swap and create a new one .

Me again ,

I have installed the system but have a bit of trouble configuring it.

then there is no kppp :-(.

I can see that i installed modem module but dont know what to do next. Can someone show me how to use ppp or any other program ?

What do i do next ?

Yet another thing is that i don't have sound :-( . It says that /dev/dsp device cannot be found .


Everything worked under Slackware 9.1 .


Any help would be appereciated .

I have no idea what problem number 1 is supposed to be.

kppp is part of the kdenetwork port

cd /usr/ports/net/kdenetwork3/
make install clean

This is not on the install CD with the minimal KDE base and packages used to install a general KDE installation. If you need it, then install it but you will need the internet to do it.

 # Ensure that "device" references the correct serial port
# for your modem. (cuaa0 = COM1, cuaa1 = COM2)
#
set device /dev/cuaa1

Try changing that to /dev/ltmdm0 -- as this is your modem device, you point this out yourself with your dmesg.

Thanks for your reply .


I am so stuck .. i just dont know what to do :-(.

Ok i wiil try to be more specific . I installed FreeBSD 5.3 . When go startx my manager is Tvm.Then , i start kde by going startkde. I get to some lite version of kde where my sound card doesn't work , i don't have kppp and its pretty basic to tell the truth.

That is what have i installed :

Run 'make install' to install the rest of the modules you selected. Run 'make clean && make' to re-enter the configuration. Please note that you CANNOT REMOVE modules through this menu system, use pkg_delete instead. If you do not want the menu to run, put BATCH=YES into /etc/make.conf (this will install all KDE modules). If you do not want the menu to run AND you do not want specific modules to be installed, put lines reading 'WITHOUT_<Name-of-Module>=YES' into /etc/make.conf (for example WITHOUT_KOFFICE=YES). ===> Installing for kde-3.3.0 ===> kde-3.3.0 depends on executable: kjumpingcube - found ===> kde-3.3.0 depends on executable: kdessh - found ===> kde-3.3.0 depends on executable: kword - not found ===> Verifying install for kword in /usr/ports/editors/koffice-kde3 ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found >> koffice-1.3.2.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/KDE/koffice. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://download.kde.org/pub/kde/stabl...ce-1.3.2/src/. fetch: ftp://download.kde.org/pub/kde/stabl...1.3.2.tar.bz2: No address record >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://www.t.ring.gr.jp/pub/X/kde/sta...ce-1.3.2/src/. fetch: ftp://www.t.ring.gr.jp/pub/X/kde/sta...1.3.2.tar.bz2: No address record >> Attempting to fetch from http://www.t.ring.gr.jp/archives/X/k...ce-1.3.2/src/. fetch: http://www.t.ring.gr.jp/archives/X/k...1.3.2.tar.bz2: No address record >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/po.../KDE/koffice/. fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/po...1.3.2.tar.bz2: No address record >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/KDE/koffice and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/editors/koffice-kde3. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kde3.

No luck there.
