|
Ok, here is the part where everyone gets to laugh at me for asking a question that would be expected of a n00b...The only experience that I have with *nix is Solaris running on Sun hardware, and very little at that. I downloaded netBSD and got it installed just fine, but I'm having some trouble downloading and installing X Windows on the box. Any suggestions/help to make it go a little easier? |

Erm...no. I'll have to look for that. I assume it can be found on the netBSD website? I may have to put this project on hold, I believe that the motherboard that I have in the machine is going bad, I had a few errors reading from the harddrive while messing with it today. I did manage to get it setup for the network last night when I loaded it, part of the reason that I was having trouble setting things up was the fact that cableamerica doesn't seem to like it when i try to access anything via FTP, usually things just sit there and time out. Not to mention that xfree86.org is being stupid and doesn't want to serve the pages I'm requesting. {Shakes fist at Cable America} God I need a new ISP.  |

pkgsrc is netbsd's equivilent to open or freebsd's ports system.. only a wee bit diffrent..
To fetch all the pkgsrc from scratch:
% setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot
% cd /usr
% cvs login
(the password is: "anoncvs")
% cvs checkout -PA pkgsrc
Or by ssh:
% setenv CVS_RSH ssh
% setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot
% cd /usr
% cvs checkout -PA pkgsrc
This will create the directory pkgsrc in your /usr and all the package source will be stored under /usr/pkgsrc
To update the pkgsrc just do:
% setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot
% cd /usr
% cvs login
(the password is: "anoncvs")
% cvs -d $CVSROOT update -PAd pkgsrc
Or by ssh:
% setenv CVS_RSH ssh
% setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot
% cd /usr
% cvs -d $CVSROOT update -PAd pkgsrc
once you have a pkgsrc all you have to do is say you want fluxbox install is go into
% cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/fluxbox
% make install clean
that will download fluxbox and all dependencies for you and install them.. it's still up to you to configure X though.. pkgsrc is great because if you on say openbsd where the ports are kinda limited you can install their bootstrap tools and use pkgsrc on there.. there's thousands of apps you can play w/. you can even use pkgsrc on IRIX  |
