Hi, I am having troubles with the install disc. By the end of the installation the cd cannot load sometimes the kernel, sometimes the documentation etc... I thought it could be my cd is damaged, so that I downloaded the iso again and md5sum debian-20061213-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso shows
f8c1531e61750e757ba6600687186ff3 debian-20061213-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso whilst in the web page it is 51e8a958b07199f2c3904083dd55062e1d3021d9bbe68771a2e7f9ce4e6868e1a512b00289fee538bcf78e3205c292faaad5cdfa2f9ba6c00d57a55c828ad4ce debian-20061213-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso this is obviously not the same message digest... now what? Petr is encouraging me to install debian-bsd (he seems to be the only member of this list having done it) let me know Cheers, Pau 2006/12/29, Petr Salinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I ask :-) There is a short one - http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_FAQ Fell free to extend it by answers bellow ;-) Take also look at links from http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD > 1) Is there any way to upgrade to Debian-*bsd an existing, running > FreeBSD installation (wheter it makes sense or not) I am unsure about this. You can prepare filesystem on a different partition/slice and use chroot to install basic files. Look inside iso at http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/install-cd/kfreebsd-i386/20061213/, there should be base.tgz somewhere inside debian-20061213-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso. But at least multi-threaded programs will not work under pristine FreeBSD kernel. > 2) Can *.deb packages co-exist with classical BSD ports ? It is not good idea. Please use chroot for things like this. > 3) Are the *.deb packages for *bsd handled the same old way they did > on linux, or they simply use /usr/local filesystem ? In the same way as on other Debain system - usual prefix is /usr > 4) What about some specs I once read about leaving the use of > /usr/local to the system administrator (Maybe these are concerning > only to Linux...) There are (almost) no files from any *.deb in /usr/local/ It is really left for local system administrator. Sorry for terse answers, but my Christmas time is dedicated mainly to my family.
