| | Hi there,
Has anyones out there met this problem before, I cannot download FreeBSD 5.3 iso images off their download mirrors. The download always broken somewhere around 50-70% of the file and cannot be resume in any way.
I've tried with their FreeBS Centre mirror, Japan, Germany, Hong Kong ... mirrors, with or without download manager programs (Filezilla, Flashget...) but the results are the same - a broken download :-(
Could anyones can help me to solve this, I acctually need FreeBSD but cannot buy it herein Vietnam.
Tks! |

Strange, it donloaded fine for me. and all the servers i found fully supported resumable downloads. all i can surgest is why not Buy a FreeBSD CD / DVD ? They only cost £4, so its probably faster, and cheaper to buy than download.

Oh, I don't think FreeBSD CD can be ordered to deliver to Vietnam and herein Vietnam I don't have any visa/master card to pay over the net at all  Tks for all your reply, I'll try to download it by torrent then.

Perhaps try a net-install? smaller download, more configurable..although I've never used freeBSD. I'm an OpenBSD user.

Pc-bsd
Alternative to FreeBSD but based on same kernel (6) After looking through this forum, I noticed nobody had commented about PC-BSD, which is in version
1.2 based on FreeBSD kernel 6.1. I have had some very good success with this system, admittedly
using vmware-workstation, and I didn't even have to install it, as they provide a downloadable
hard file that works with vmware-workstation as well as vmware-player. The GUI Desktop is KDE 3.5.3
and the site for further information is here One overrriding reason to use this system is that
they use PBI files to install applications so you don't have to worry about depe....
Freebsd. An Installation Report
An attempt to document live freeBSD installation (20) I need hosting. Well, how to get those golden points? Hope you wouldn’t mind if I tell my FreeBSD
story. A little foreword. I’m working in a pure MS shop, where Open Source is big NO-NO.
Nevertheless I have a small test-bed LAN where I can test whatever I think is appropriate. Lately
not the latest and greatest but quite decent server has been decommissioned. I had been using Debian
Linux workstation already for quite a while, so I’ve decided to setup a Debian Linux server into
W2k3 LAN. Honestly, I don’t like to give up, but this time I had to. The machine is HP Netser....

Linux User Needs Help Learning Freebsd
(7) Recently, i decided that FreeBSD was somthing i wasnted to be able to say i could use, and afdmin
comfortably. I was reading several comparasons between GNU/Linux (what i currently use) and
f'BSD. Apart from the differences in the Licences, and they way they were developed, and of
cource the history, they were very very similar. Ive used and become comfortable with several Linux
distro's inclusing Linux From Scratch, Slackware, Gentoo Mandrake, Fedora/Redhat, and maybe a
few others, LOL. After becomming comfortable with linux, i started university, where i use....
Installed Freebsd, Need Instruction For Gui
At the dawn of a personal FreeBSD era (3) I'm at the beginning of learning about FreeBSD, and have installed the OS (version 5.4). I only
made it to the black screen with text/command line. So I need those quick and easy pointers to get
started with the graphical interface of things. So...how easy can I get a graphical user interface
like mousecursor, windows, programmenu's and such (like in windows, ubuntu, mandrake and so on)

complicated to me, but I consider that as just being a mild obstacle because I'm....
