Hello, I downloaded VMPlayer to play PC-BSD's virtual image version. I was able to install the player, restarted the PC and loaded PC-BSD image. First thing I did was to change the time as it was out-of-sync. I double clicked on it and it was asking for a root password. I didn't set any passwords be...

I just tried what you just have mentioned. Again, it didn't work. It's not even detecting other OS.

I succeeded installing PC-BSD. I installed Red Hat Linux 9 using the remaining 6660 MB that was left unpartitioned. Somehow, it didn't allow me to create /,/boot/,/swap together. I could create only two of these. Error Message: "boot disk may not meet booting constraints for your architecture C...

i deleted the iso file from the pc after burning it to a cd. so, would that be a problem to compare? i opened md5summer, created a .md5 file from the cd. how do i compare now?

Ok, I will try summing up to see if it matches well. I can't take the disc out as it's in the middle of installing files. If I get the same error, I will do the summing and also will let you what it says. What was the reason why you asked me to install in this order? Windows,PC BSD and Linux instead...

please wait..setting up default users. This is the last prompt where it froze. It happened twice and now i am trying it for the third time, if it happens the same, then i am unsure what to do, as I have linux down the line waiting for installation. As an alternate, i thought of installing freebsd, s...

I just installed Windows OS with 8 GB as it's partition space. Then I tried formatting the remaining by splitting 11 GB into 7 (formatting complete) and 4(without formatting). I put in PC-BSD, and it froze at the last step, right after u put in the root password and user information. It happened twi...

Thanks
I am reading the documentation. I will let u know once i finish installing it.

Let me see if I understood properly. A Workstation install would install Linux with typical (or full) features. A LFS would install nothing, but we have to manually install everything. Do I have an option of comparing what's in Workstation install Vs LFS install so that I would at least be knowing i...

Ok, Let me try installing Linux with minimal with partitions as per AnarChy's advice and try to go on your path. Let's see if Anarchy has any suggestions. It's just that I am so much afraid as I have no clue how Linux would look like. I am just reading Linux Red Hat 7(Complete Reference) and I have ...

I will look into this. What you are saying also sounds good to me. But, I am looking forward in finishing Linux/UNIX System Administration in 2 months. Do I have time to do these? So, for installing LFS, do I need to have a Linux pre-installed? If yes, is it enough to have a minimal install like you...

Yes, AnarChy. I too thought about the same. I would first play with installing something which is easy and then proceed beyond that. I have downloaded CentOS and have burned them on CDs already keeping them ready. One quick question: I am going to install this on my Laptop and my mouse that am using...

this213, So, You want me not to install Linux RH 9.0 and install CentOS? I have the book only for Linux RH at this point where if I have any problems, I thought I can redo the steps. How different is CentOS from RH9? Actually, I think you *need* to get stuck at a command line trying to figure out wh...

Thanks, AnarChy.

So, no matter whether it is Linux Workstation or Server, the first install would be Windows. Let me try tonight to see what happens.

I will keep you poste on this, Archy

Post Posted: February 2nd, 2006, 8:04 am

Wow, That's way lot of information. Thanks Anarchy. I have to run it tonight to see i if I succeed in this operation. I am planning to test Linux in 2 laptops by installing Linux Server on one and the Workstation version on the other. On the laptop where I install Server version, Can I install Windo...
