My suggestion would be along the following lines: - Make a disk image with the FreeBSD installer using my iso2diskimage script at <http://borderworlds.dk/utils/>. - Add an entry to your GRUB configuration that will use memdisk from the syslinux package to load the disk image. - Reboot and select the newly created FreeBSD installer entry in GRUB. - Install FreeBSD The installer will run completely from RAM when booted so you can use the entire disk for FreeBSD. However, once sysinstall starts writing stuff to the disk you will no longer be able to boot the installer, so make sure to do it right the first time. :) -- Christian Laursen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Wake-on-LAN support in FreeBSD?
Peter Steele wrote: I came across that same reference. Unfortunately we're stuck on 7.0. I take it the point of the "wol" command that available in the ports collection is that it can be used to wake any system that supports wake-on-LAN, and these systems can be running any OS. So, based on what I've read here and in my searches, for wake-on-LAN to work on a given system, the NIC itself has to support this feature, and in addition the OS has to be able to enable this feature (via the driver for the NIC). It seems likely that when this appears that a new option will be provided for the ifconfig command. In some cases (depending on the NIC and the BIOS) WOL works even without OS support.

Re: alternatives to mergemaster

This makes mergemaster far more tedious than it has to > be. Has anyone considered a good 3-way merge tool? I always run mergemaster in auto upgrade mode. From the man page: -U Attempt to auto upgrade files that have not been user modi- fied. This can also be achieved by putting "AUTO_UPGRADE=yes" in /etc/mergemaster.rc. Combined with auto install, mergemaster requires little effort. -- Christian Laursen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Not quite. You can't mix native binaries and linux libraries. You need to use a php built for linux and load your .so into that. I had to do this once and chose to run php in cgi mode from a native apache. If you want to use php as an apache module, you'll need an apache built for linux as well. -- Christian Laursen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
