Alright, lets see if we can help. 1. If you are getting a file system full message could you include the output of "df -h"? Your filesystem could actually be full. 2. If you have massive problems installing a port (which is possible, it has happened to me), grab the ISO install disk and do a "/stand/sysinstall", and add the package from the CD. It won't be as up-to-date as the port, but as long as there isn't a required feature or security hole, I'm not too worried. Or just go to the software site and do a source install. 3. If you are using the patch command, make sure you use the full path name, as in /tmp/resolv.patch or /home/user1/resolv.patch or wherever you downloaded the patch to. 4. X windows, IMHO, can be the most difficult thing to install on BSD. When I upgraded from 4.4 to 4.6 I was dismayed to see that the configuration tool had changed and, also in my opinion, was more convoluted and difficult to use. I got my setup to work though trial and error after making sure I had the correct vert and horizontal sync, and chose the correct video driver. When in doubt I always choose the lesser option (ie, 24-bit graphics instead of 32). Sorry I can't help more on X, but it's a PITA. 5. On the other email you sent, you included bmc at snort.org. He has nothing to do with this doc, he just posts it when I send him a new one. --- Goldmoon <summer_beha () yahoo com> wrote:
Hi, Here are some problems I've encountered since trying to install FreeBSD and snort. Here is how I've allocated my disk in FreeBSD, it's a 4GB drive: / 100M /swap 2000M /usr 1500M /tmp 200M /var rest I'm at the "install necessary ports" section and here are the errors while trying to install the ports: 1. When ran for the second time, /usr/ports/www/mozilla make; make install The error message: Sep 10 15:08:45 snort /kernel: pid 68926(cp), uid 0 on /usr: file system full 2. When running all the other ports installation via the instructions, The error message: ....(filename)doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfilescouldn't fetch it-please try to retrieve this portmanually into /usr/ports/distfiles and try again Error Code 1 3. I've downloaded the patch, resolv.patch and resolv.patch.asc When attempt to do the following: cd /usr/src patch < /path/to/path I've tried "patch < resolv.patch" What is the correct syntax? 4. I can't get X-windows to work even though I've configured my monitor and video card correctly, what suggestions do you have? I have a trident 3dimage 9750 video card and an Impression 70 plus monitor. What am I doing wrong? I'm getting a bit frustrated since I've reinstalled FreeBSD several times thinking I might have missed something, but I'm following the directions down to the "t" Please help!!!!
