Care to show us the command you are using and what sort of "file" you
are writing? In any case, drop the hyphen before "fixate".

No, it isn't. I burn CDs with this command:

At some point I suppose everyone asks
such questions:
a) Where did I come from?
b) How did all of this come to be?
c) What the heck is okwin?
To answer such questions, most people
(and a certain small percentage of semi-
sentient parrots) often turn to religion or
science. In this case, I have turned to
google (may he live forever), who, when
these simple queries were put to her
produced (loosely):
a) The earliest known case of HIV-1
in a human was from a blood sample
collected in 1959 from a man in Kin-
shasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
b) Injecting the manure directly into
the ground is an approach that may
have a significant _impact_ on the
amount of nitrogen available for next
year's corn crop. (Obliviously we ask:
whence comest all this Impaction?
The manure injectors, my friend.
The manure injectors.)
c) I am running Win95 since septem-
ber 96. In one of my software named
okbridge i got very often a message:
okwin caused a GPF in module okwin.exe
So we are starting to get a picture here:
Google (may she live forever) knows, and
from now until this vile impaction ceases,
we can sleep peacefully knowing that:

I have very good connectivity to several FTP-only mirror sites,
and relatively poor connectivity to any that serve up HTTP. None
of those servers are under my administrative control.
Make trouble somewhere else, OK?

Well, um, no, not necessarily. For instance, I almost always use
portupgrade with a -PP option, so my fetch defaults actually come
from pkg_fetch, not bsd.port.mk. On my network, anything that
attempts IPv6 resolution is bad, so I put the following in my
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
ENV['PKG_FETCH'] = "/usr/bin/fetch -4pao '%2$s' '%1$s'"
This speeds things up immensely...

In looking at the documentation for "cdrecord", the examples showed a two-step process
of making an ISO image then burning it.
Here's my deal:
NEVER HAVING BURNED a CD or DVD on FreeBSD before -
I go to the documentation to FIND OUT HOW
and there really is no HOW
So I look in vain for
"What you need to do in the kernel if anything to support burning CDs/DVDs"
"What additional support libraries or software would be needed"
"The stepwise process for burning CDs or DVDs"
I created a junk file called "junk.tar" as a single file to put on a CD to prove the command works.
I then use
burncd -f /dev/acd0 data junk.tar fixate
and of course trying to
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
fails and the CD is also unreadable on windows.
Well duh. That is because THE FILE SYSTEM HAS TO BE CREATED MANUALLY.
Now, users used to smart unix commands read the man page and it SAYS of burncd
fixate writes a TOC and makes the CD readable
I am writing an ISO9660 device (a device for which ISO9660 is a reasonable default FS - yes? no?)
Any meaningful defaults here? Did the man page tell me I hade to wrap my data inside a filesystem image?
I did not see that. So DUH is right.
I then said, hey.
mkisofs -R -o image.raw junk.tar
THEN said
burncd -f /dev/acd0 data image.raw fixate
and VOILA like magic all is good. It works and reads on unix and windows like a champ.

So THE FAQ and/or HOWTO SUCKS, is the problem. If that offends purists, try fixing your transmission

It helps if people read the FreeBSD handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-
cds.html

"tar tf /dev/acd0" would give you the contents of the junk.tar file
you burned.

There are lots of possible filesystems one could put on a CD.
ISO-9660 is a common choice, and even a reasonable default, but if
you want to write files directly to the CD as a block-access device,
you can.

Actually, "man burncd" does give a bunch of examples-- it has an
entire section of them-- and finishes with the comment:
In the examples above, the files burned to data CD-Rs are
assumed to be
ISO9660 file systems. mkisofs(8), available in the FreeBSD
Ports Collec-
tion, as part of the sysutils/cdrtools port, is commonly used
to create
ISO9660 file system images from a given directory tree.

You mention documentation above, but you don't say what you're
referring to.

What's wrong with the information in the handbook?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html
> So THE FAQ and/or HOWTO SUCKS, is the problem.
I see two problems, both of them different:
- You don't say what you read, and what you didn't understand about
it.
- You didn't submit an update.
> If that offends purists,
I think what's more likely to offend is a complaint without
substantiation. I'm not saying that there are no errors in the
documentation--of course there are--but how can we fix them (if they
exist) based on your rant?

man (8) burncd
" In the examples above, the files burned to data CD-Rs are assumed to be
ISO9660 file systems. mkisofs(8), available in the FreeBSD Ports
Collec-
tion, as part of the sysutils/cdrtools port, is commonly used to
create
ISO9660 file system images from a given directory tree."
Hmmmmm.....
man (8) mkisofs
"mkisofs is effectively a pre-mastering program to generate an
ISO9660/JOLIET/HFS hybrid filesystem.
mkisofs is capable of generating the System Use Sharing
Protocol
records (SUSP) specified by the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol.
This
is used to further describe the files in the iso9660 filesystem
to a
unix host, and provides information such as longer filenames,
uid/gid,
posix permissions, symbolic links, block and character devices."
If you don't like man pages, there's always the handbook:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html>
"CDs have a number of features that differentiate them from conventional
disks. Initially, they were not writable by the user. They are designed so
that they can be read continuously without delays to move the head between
tracks. They are also much easier to transport between systems than
similarly sized media were at the time.
CDs do have tracks, but this refers to a section of data to be read
continuously and not a physical property of the disk. To produce a CD on
FreeBSD, you prepare the data files that are going to make up the tracks
on the CD, then write the tracks to the CD.
The ISO 9660 file system was designed to deal with these differences. It
unfortunately codifies file system limits that were common then.
Fortunately, it provides an extension mechanism that allows properly
written CDs to exceed those limits while still working with systems that
do not support those extensions.
The sysutils/cdrtools port includes mkisofs(8), a program that you can use
to produce a data file containing an ISO 9660 file system. It has options
that support various extensions, and is described below.
Which tool to use to burn the CD depends on whether your CD burner is
ATAPI or something else. ATAPI CD burners use the burncd program that is
part of the base system. SCSI and USB CD burners should use cdrecord from
the sysutils/cdrtools port. It is also possible to use cdrecord and other
tools for SCSI drives on ATAPI hardware with the ATAPI/CAM module.
If you want CD burning software with a graphical user interface, you may
wish to take a look at either X-CD-Roast or K3b. These tools are available
as packages or from the sysutils/xcdroast and sysutils/k3b ports.
X-CD-Roast and K3b require the ATAPI/CAM module with ATAPI hardware."
Unix systems *assume* you can read. Perhaps that's a bad assumption, but
that's the assumption they make. Unfortunately, many people are impatient
and get ahead of themselves, thinking that partial knowledge is all that's
required. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't.

Not sure which FAQ you are referring to, and I thought HOWTO was a Linux
thing. How about the handbook instead. This whole mkisofs business is
pretty well documented at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html
Having read that, I've never had a single problem writing data CDs under
FreeBSD, and I'm a long way from being a guru.

Been there, done that. How about fixing your transmission with no
documentation at all, only your (meager) previous experience to go on.
And still with a deadline. And the deadline is tomorrow, but it's the
weekend so no shops are open. And Tim Berners-Lee is 22 years old, so
nothing online even if you could afford a computer.
In my experience, documentation (especially API documentation) is
usually wrong in some respect or another. That's why anyone trying to
write a driver really needs to have the hardware.

I agree completely. Good documentation makes the difference between a
painless experience and a painful one.

Hello to all.
I need to model data bases, so, my question is if some of you could know
about a good database designer like ERWin, but that resides in ports. I've
just installed pydbdesigner, but doesn't fit my needs at all, in fact,
nothing at all.

Just as a further point of reference, I also found that -s max caused the
DVD+RW drive in my laptop (6.1), and the CD writer in my desktop PC at home
(5.4), to make shiny coasters. Setting an actual speed worked fine, except
for a further odd problem on the DVD+RW laptop drive.
burncd data image.iso
works fine, but
burncd data image.iso fixate
causes an I/O error at the fixate stage - exactly as though the drive (or
utiliy, or OS) has memorised the fact that the drive contains a blank CD and
continues to treat it as empty media even after writing to it.
In the end the only way I found to close off a disc and write a ToC is:
burncd data image.iso
<take CD out and put it back in>
burncd fixate

Some years ago I used this one, even if it's not in ports, and I was
pretty happy with it:

Oddly enough, by typing 'uptime' at the command prompt.

Hi list,
this is a rather minor issue, but since I'm about to deploy
FreeBSD/DesktopBSD on some average users laptops, I'm interested in
getting this fixed:
The Splash Screen on IBM Thinkpads isn't displayed correctly. On a T23
it's totally distorted, a part of the image is displayed several times
on the upper quarter of the screen.
On a T60 the screen is displayed correctly, but the color map doesn't fit.
I tried using both BMP and PCX-Images with different resolutions and
color depths, and it's always the same result: As long as I'm using
something that requires the Vesa-Module the image isn't displayed
correctly, while small images (e.g. 320x200) work flawlessly.
Is there anything I can do to offer my users a windoze-like feeling
with a decent bloot splash screen?
And to be honest, I like obi_chuck.bmp and emily_black. ;-)
Cheers
Christian

You can use htpasswd instead: htpasswd vsftpd.db <username>
Then back up your /etc/pam.d/ftpd (maybe ftp as well) and replace its
content with:
auth required /usr/local/lib/pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.db
account required /usr/lib/pam_permit.so
I hope it works.

I have reinstalled and now starting from scratch to see if I can get
the core dump of a panic.
dumpdev="/dev/ad2s1b"
dumpdir="/var/crash"
savecore_flags="-v -z"
hw.physmem: 508989440
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/ad2s1b 768000 0 768000 0%
/dev/ad2s1d 989M 7.9M 902M 1% /var
My kernel panics immediately on boot up, before the disks are probed.
After panic I boot with a different kernel to extract the core. But I
get the following error during boot up.
Checking for core dump on /dev/ad2s1b...
unable to open bounds file, using 0
checking for kernel dump on device /dev/ad2s1b
mediasize = 786432000
sectorsize = 512
magic mismatch on last dump header on /dev/ad2s1b
savecore: no dumps found
Any idea?

I remember using uuencode and shar to send files through e-mail many
years ago when BITNET was the "thing" at school. This looks somewhat
similar, but I can't figure out how to put the parts together again.
Partial solutions or guesses will be greatfully accepted at this point,
they may provide the nudge to get me moving forward on this again.
Thanks,

What problems are you seeing?
Normally, you don't need to go into single user mode. Like Pietro said,
portupgrade -F will fetch distfiles for you. Then you can do the
upgrade, check config files and restart services later.
