Aloha,

Any FreeBSD users in Maui?  I cannot find a users group but I know the
High Performance Computer Center is there and there is a Maui
Scheduler so I assume someone on the island is using it.  I would be
interested to know if there are enough people to do some meetings or
get togethers.

Cheers,
~Tyler

Message-ID: <43928206.1080306@hawaiidakine.com>

Hi Gurus,

Any one know of a how-to on postfix for FreeBSD with suggested HD 
partition scheme for 80 Gig drive?

Also:

HP server PII Vectra Vl  box. Cant get FreeBSD 6.* to install on this 
type of box. Tried several different CDroms but just get a flashing - at 
the top of the screen and no install. Any ideas? I have 2  NT servers to 
make into FreeBSD 6*.

I set the cmos to see the CDrom  first and then  HD for install.

Hello,

I'm newbie to Free BSD. I have debian sarge installed
on my PC but when I try to install Free BSD version
6.0 release, its completely different from debian.
It's not easy to install Free BSD. 

I try PCBSD now and it just like installing windows
:). Why Free BSD is not make a project to make
sysinstall like PCBSD installer? I think it's going to
be easy for Windows users to try Free BSD in the
future. 

Thanks.
Indra Muliadi

#1 The main target of FreeBSD is servers; using an automated graphical
installer is not really an option. Besides, if you understand basic
things like partitioning, sysinstall is easy.
#2 The orignal goal of FreeBSD was never to attract windows users.
#3 if you like PC-BSD, by all means use it! it is designed specifically
for desktop users converting from windows, and it has an interesting
package management system.

Subject: [buug] Adding a SATA HD to FreeBSD
Message-ID: <439C7DF2.9020300@hawaiidakine.com>

Has anybody installed a SATA drive on FreeBSD for a webserver ?

I have the drive, but it does not come with a flat cable to attach to 
the Motherboard. There is a serial cable for power, but neither of the 
Motherboards have that facility. I see you can use a 4 pin power though 
instead.

The drive  is a Maxtor 200 GB Sata Ultra series 7200 RPM Serial ATA/150.
I know a PCI card is required from Promise, but I an not positive which 
one.  I am not familiar with this type of setup and the How To's that 
come with the drive  are not clear about the hookup.

Any help is appreciated.

ANy one know if there is an adaptor to go from a 4 pin power supply plug 
to a 15 pin on a SATA drive since Maxtor has stopped making the 2 plug 
model drives?

                    Hello,
 
 
 I use PCBSD as my home desktop OS. Should I setting up the firewall to be more secure while surfing the Internet? I see IPF is not that easy for beginner. Or PCBSD is already secure without me have to setting up the firewall.
 
 
 Thanks.

every machine should have a firewall
since PCBSD is based off of FreeBSD, it is most likely secure enough for 
your needs ... but it couldnt hurt to have a firewall
I used ipfw when I started with FreeBSD and I found it easy enough to 
create firewall rules
since my starting to use OpenBSD I have used pf (which is in FreeBSD) 
but I would suggest against it for a beginner

seeing as PCBSD is geared toward the GUI user, I would imagine there is 
a firewall configuration tool available to aid in rule generation
in fact, I remember seeing one that generated pf (and other firewall) 
rules... I like my hand typed rules though
