I'm back :-)
So some months ago I made an attempt to switch over to FreeBSD. I have gotten some great and generous help in my first attemps to install FreeBSD, which, knowing me, of course failed miserably (). And suddenly I was gone. That would have appeared impolite to my kind helpers, and/but it wasn't intended like that. It's just I went on a paid journey around the world (paid for by my boss, in return I had to work for him) and man, can I assure you: there are a *lot* of *ugly* airports around the world, not even to mention the crappy "coffee" they serve on them for sky high prices. So I am home, at least for a couple of weeks, and I pick up where I left off. That is, with a fresh new install of FreeBSD 8, and, in order not to worry you: no, nothing works, just like the first time Let's see if I can get this to work this time. "The Noob" |

Greetings again
I too disappear for a week or a month (or 3) here and there and may seem uncouth, this may leave some persons thinking things. I have found that most of the persons (admins too) around here are quite polite, never have i actually seen much flaming or otherwise (even if it was deserved). MMM around the world trip, helped to pay for? i do not drink coffee yay

Aarhg Nothing is working. As expected of course, since I never get it to work () I have X with KDE4, I cvsup, then I try to install Nvidia driver it quits with a vague error, on looking into the makefile I see the version is lower than the one on Nvidia website, I down that one, it also quits with an error, same for KDE3, same for openoffice, and now when I log on I get: Code:

You may be missing a hostname="..." entry in /etc/rc.conf.
As for root, you must have a kernel backup or something. If your current kernel (/boot/kernel/) works fine, delete any other one. You may also want to remove all the symbol files if you don't ever want to debug it.

Remember that / also includes /home and /etc if you do not seperate them, I tried partitioning /etc and it errored like mad, I did not follow up on a solution i just kept it under /.
This is my partition scheme on my main firewall (no users login, or else i would have a seperate /home partition as well, VERY good idea security wise, so users/apps/files can't fill up your / partition and bomb your install or worse) Code:

Your / parition is WAY too small (since it includes your /etc) for an install that is hoping for X windows (KDE is pretty big with all dependencies). If you can, test with one big partition as / and a swap.
My /var partition is quite large because i log ALL traffic in PF (dropped and accepted) and also 3 instances of Snort (per interface including my tun0 just cause) and it gets quite big, my pflog file is over 200mb's and this install was done less than 1 month ago

You should never separate /etc because 1) it's not worth it at all, and 2) the system won't boot anymore since the loader needs to read fstab to mount partitions (including /etc), but fstab is on /etc. Quote:

/etc is rarely more than a few MBs. Almost everything related to X and *DE goes in /usr/local which is a directory in the /usr partition (402GB on his system).

Neither a slice nor a partition. Both would have the same effect and you'd be unable to boot. What you said earlier -- "Remember that / also includes /home and /etc if you do not separate them" -- implies /etc *can* be separated from the root partition, something that AFAIK can never work without adverse effects, like not being able to boot normally, that is. His system is already booting fine and his partitioning scheme is appropriate, but you're suggesting he does the entire setup all over again. And his problem is very clear: he has no more space on the root partition. All he has to do is check what's taking up so much space (old kernel and user files) and re/move it. I've already addressed both. If he does what you're saying (having a huge root partition only) but does all the rest exactly as he was doing before, he will still end up with a 480MB (former) root partition but he won't notice anything's wrong and the system won't complain since it'd have 400+GB at its disposal. IOW, he'd be only hiding the symptoms instead of fixing the problem. Quote:
Maybe "shut up and be gone" is what you're trying to tell me? A slice for /usr? What for? It's enough to just have it on a separate partition. It's recommended to have separate partitions for /, /tmp, /var, /usr and /home, but all this can still be on a single slice. Hmm, yes it's "FreeBSD advice" since he's installing FreeBSD, IIRC. Should I give Solaris or Windows advice? Maybe you think he's installing OpenBSD 4.6? Quote:

The rest of your quotes rely on the fact that i mistook this for an OpenBSD question, so i can confidently rest assured that your remarks help you feel better about what you need to say. I have read many FreeBSD books/documents and have been using since 4.0. Quote:
I REALLY wanted to avoid all this quoting (except for corrections of course), but it seems your set on showing down (showing off?) other posters (or just me?), just what im vibing over here, of course i could be wrong. Since i have not helped or contributed to Broodjegehaktmetmayo's post this shall me my last.
