Hi, I would like to follow 4-stable on my FreeBSD box, and i can't fetch binaries from /stand/sysinstall. Can anyone help me? Here is how i did: 1) I installed 4.8-RELEASE from CD, 2) I used cvsup to upgrade. For this i used the stable-supfile as shown in the Handbook. => My OS version as shown by 'uname -a' and '/stand/sysinstall' is "4.8-STABLE". It

After installing a text-based development environment via /stand/sysinstall (followed by CVSup, makeworld/kernel etc to 4-8-stable), I realize I want to install KDE, too. I initiated this with: pkg_add -r kdebase followed again by CVSup etc. Apparently that wasn't enough. Am getting message "XFree86 setup utility.. not installed" when trying to config xf86config (text-based) via

Hello, I installed 4.8-RELEASE a few weeks ago, and since I let the effort sit stagnant for a while I decided to do the cvsup/buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld/mergemaster/MAKEDEV steps to get current. Went fine, rebooted, then noticed that just one CPU was recognized: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Thu Jun 19 17:05:20 PDT 2003

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13. After make buildworld, make buildkernel, mergemaster -p, make installworld, and mergemaster -v, I do (per mostgraveconcern, RIP): cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make clean make all install The 'make all install' gives errors: In file included from keymap.c:40: keymap.h:4436: `keymap_be_iso'

I couldn't compile any thing after upgrading 4.6.2 to 4.8 via cvsup I also updated ports via cvsup And nothing would compile, nothing, just error after error I cd /usr/ports did a -"make clean"- (which takes over an hour on my machine) Now all my compile problems have gone away I think I will cd to /usr/ports after doing anything with cvsup or any install, just in case or am I

Hello, I am very new to FreeBSD and just installed 4.8 release. I want to upgrade this to stable. I have printed some of the pages out for makeworld and CVSUP, I am wondering what the best method for doing the updates are, downloading the individual packages and installing or using the CVSUP to do this? Currently I used mostly Red Hat Linux but have wanted to give this a try for some time

Read the documentation on the meaning of the various 4.X tags, and am not sure what is meant by this: "The release branch for FreeBSD-4.6 and FreeBSD-4.6.2, used only for security advisories and other seriously critical fixes." Similar descriptions are used for the other RELENG_4_X tags. If I specify RELENG_4 will cvsup also include RELENG_4_3 to RELENG_4_8? Sorry folks - I'm

I'm still kind of hung up looking for some definitive answers on this issue. Perhaps you guys can help me out? Frank Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 17:55:33 -0500 (CDT) From: "F.

I used /stand/sysinstall/ to get a package I tried every USA ftp and some England ftp sites Only to get the message Can't find the 4.8-stable ..... Is it because it's called 4.8-release at the ftp site? or Other... Thank You, Doug

I noticed that there were quite a few files with version ids of '$FreeBSD$' when I ran mergemaster after an install of 4.8R. This isn't right is it? What are the consequences of installing over your files with unexpanded version ids? I would like to build a release(make release) and want to know if I can continue or if this is going to be a problem for future

I would like to customize our store-bought, bootable FreeBSD CD so that it does a non-interactive (or minimally interactive ;-) install. The interim solution we've devised has our lab execution techs booting from a CD and then using the Sysinstall "Load config file" menu option to load an "install.cfg" file from a floppy. We'd like to eliminate this step by

In the next month or two I've got to upgrade a number of servers that are currently on an EOL'd version of 4-STABLE. I foresee that I'll have very limited time to do full OS upgrades on these systems in the coming several years, so I want to make sure I bring them onto an extended-life branch. Right now 4.11 has the furthest projected EOL date (Jan 31 2007), and the projected EOL

Hello, I have been struglling with sysinstall, attempting to make it handle the geometry of some large SATA drives. After a lot of effort I decided to stop suffering and modified the program in order to circumvent the outdated limit of 65535 cylinders (see attached patch). I'm thinking about submitting a PR with a change request but I'd like to get some additional opinions first. I did

I'm getting the bus error mentioned in PR bin/124353 and I need a bit more detail on how to apply the patch. Right now I'm getting the following error when I try to do a make on cvsup-without-gui: Fatal Error: bad version stamps: SupTCP.m3 I put the changes in the /usr/local/lib/m3/pkg/m3core/src/unix/freebsd-4.amd64/Unix.i3 file I created the file

/usr/ports/www/README.html went from some 200 lines to over 500 on a `make readme' in that directory just now. I thought `cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsup_ports' would update the README.html files too. Should I be running `make readme' and/or `make index' (and/or anything else) myself after cvsupdating ports? -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus

Hey folks, So what's the word on AHCI and bios drive geometry? I'm having a real pain of a time trying to get some 750gb sata drives running on my FreeBSD7 box in AHCI mode. It doesn't seem to matter what disk geometry I suggest to sysinstall, something complains of an invalid disk upon booting it. Actually, in AHCI mode the bios screen doesn't report any information on

Hello. Dont know is this list right for this topic, but dont know witch one is. So I got 6.3-STABLE-200807-amd64-disc1.iso I have installed it cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui/ make install make clean #cvsup some-stable-sup-file Connected to cvsup.xxxxxx.ru Bus error (core dumped) I cant get fresh src and ports trees and cant compile fresh 6.X-stable system with athlon64 optimization. :(

Hello all, well, the first problem i got is lsof wont work. I got the message "lsof: WARNING: compiled for FreeBSD release 4.3-RELEASE; this is 4.8-STABLE." Then I tried to to cvsup and rebuild world. The file i used is /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and tag is RELENG_4. After a few hours i got 4.9-PRERELEASE :( Next time i used RELENG_4_8 tag and got 4.8-RELEASE-p4 :((

Hi. I am looking for an IPv6 capable CVSUP mirror. I found a discussion from one year ago where it was stated that CVSUP was not IPv6-capable. Does anyone know if this has changed? Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/sam

Greetings, I cvsup'd and rebuilt a FreeBSD 4.8 system last Friday after receiving the realpath security advisory. The machine is remote and the NIC uses the rl driver. After booting the machine I had no network connectivity. The person at the remote site says the boot was normal and he could see that the NIC was properly configured but he could not ping it and I could not login. We booted
