A step-by-step guide to installing FreeBSD 5. It assumes moderate experience with linux and leaves you with a fully updated FreeBSD system. FreeBSD Installation A. 5.x vs 4.x The first thing to understand about FreeBSD is that there are two lines of development. The -STABLE branch is marked with a 4.x version number and the most recent version is 4.10. It is well tested and very solid, but does not include the most recent technology. The -CURRENT branch, marked with a 5.x version, is the “unstable” branch. However, it is nicely stable at the moment and is coming along quite well. Most users should go with 5.x and these instructions are only valid for that tree. NOTE: DragonFlyBSD ( www.dragonflybsd.org ) is a continuation of the 4.x line. It uses lock-less (no mutexes) SMP support and a Light Weight Kernel Threading system. It has a lot of promise and is developing at a breakneck pace, but it should still be thought of as “R/D.” B. Getting Media I am not going to say much about this. T...

Abstract You can fit on a S/VCD without overburning: - approx. 735 MB of MPEG data onto a 74min/650MB disc - approx. 795 MB of MPEG data onto an 80min/700MB disc You can fit on a CD-ROM without overburning: - approx. 650 MB of data onto a 74min/650MB disc - approx. 703 MB of data onto an 80min/700MB disc ---------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction Let us ignore for now the terms of megabyte for CD capacity and try to understand how the data is stored on a CD. As well all know, the data is stored digitally as binary data. This means, however the actual information is actually kept on the disc, this information is in the form of "1"s and "0"s. Physically, the information on a CD is as pits on a thin sheet of metal (aluminium). An a CD-R disc, the data is physically on an organic dye layer which simulates the metal layer on a real pressed CD. ---------------------------------------------------------------- How is the information struct...

If you want to use Norton Ghost 2003 to create an image of a PC's primary partition you will find it has 2 serious limitations: 1- The USB support driver they use (from Iomega) can only be installed in USB1 or USB2 mode (not both), and it is not universal - it didn't recognize my external USB IBM mobile HD . 2- You can't create a Ghost bootable CD - only a floppy. How can you clone a newly bought laptop, most of which don't have a floppy anymore? Here's How to: 1- create a Ghost floppy with USB support (1 or 2 - it won't matter later) 2- download 2 files kxlrw40an.exe and mhairu.zip http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/drive/cdrrw/kxlrw40an/driver/kxlrw40an.exe http://www.stefan2000.com/darkehorse/PC/DOS/Drivers/USB/mhairu.zip From the first file (Panasonic driver for a USB CDRW) you will need the file usbaspi.sys found under "F2H" sub directory after extraction of the downloaded archive. From the second archive you need di1000dd.sys 3- Copy these 2 fil...

Requirements: Serv-U No-IP.com Website Step 1. Getting a static IP address. Get a static address for your FTP server. You will want to do this as opposed to using your IP address for several reasons. First, it’s easier keeping up-to-date. Imagine having to change all of your setting every time your IP changed. With No-IP, the No-IP service runs in background on your computer and updates your current IP address with your FTP server’s URL (for example, you get ftp://rkchoolie.serveftp.com). Second reason, you don’t want your IP address posted out there for everyone to see. 1. Go to www.No-IP.com to create a new user account. 2. Fill in the information that is required and the click Register button. 3. Your account has now been created and your account password has been emailed to you. 4. Check your email mailbox and wait for the mail that contains your password 5. Go back to www.No-IP.com and type your email address and password to login to your account. 6. Once in your account, click ...

Your hard drive must be formatted with a file system such as FAT, FAT32 or NTFS so that Windows can be installed on to it. This system determines how files are named, organised and stored on the drive. If you’re not using it already, NTFS (New Technology File System) is recommended for Windows XP because of the additional functionality it offers. If your PC came with Windows XP pre-installed then there’s a chance that you’re already using NTFS. If you’ve upgraded from Windows 98 or Windows Me you may still be using FAT or FAT 32. The option to change over to NTFS would have been available during the upgrade process. Don’t worry if you skipped this as it’s possible to convert at any time from within Windows XP without losing any data. The recommended option There are a number of features in Windows XP that will only work if the NTFS file system is present, which is why it’s suggested you make use of it. File and folder permissions, encryption and privacy options are just some of those y...
