Correction again: you are talking about bootscreen not screensaver like red devil raiding console when idle. This animated "application" that is loaded before kernel can read konsole messages and show appropriate info on screen in graphical mode. I already read underlying code and developers says that unfortunately this is not supported right now but may be changed in future- and future is WE.

There we go :) The original poster was talking about the type of splash screen you see in SuSE or RH, not FreeBSD's native version. Something that lets you display a nice screen, with bootup information scrolling in middle of it, along with maybe a progress bar. As far as I can tell, FreeBSD doesn't have support for this yet. Somebody would have to port it over or write it in.

1.3 partitions layout suggestions: For disk encryption feature, videly used on notebooks, I suggest to make default partitions scheme like this: scheme nr1: /boot 150MB swap 1000MB / rest of free space /usr/home mounted from file:/usr/homespace (custom size, possible encrypted) scheme nr2: /boot 150MB swap 1000MB / 2GB (userland and logs) /usr rest of free space (/usr/home, /usr/src, /usr/port, etc...) Explanation: If you need root space encryption then we need at least one "plain" space from where we can boot kernel and where to store encryption keys. For more information about FreeBSD encryption I'd suggest to look at this webpage: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/events/1139.en.html We may even make /boot partition read-only for better crash resistance. Another idea is to use /home as file backed encrypted filesystem- then we can do backup by just copying /usr/homespace.eli file to NAS server or write it onto CD/DVD. Possibilities are endless. We can add swap space as file based filesystem (256MB file as SWAP space): # dd if=/dev/null of=/usr/swap0 bs=1m count=256 # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /usr/swap0 -u 1 # swapon /dev/md1 Type: "mdconfig -lu 1" to check md1 disk state. P.S. I already played with different encryption technologies here and found FreeBSD existing features very reliable. Andrei |

I propose we work on an animated bootup screen. Instead of having a static image loaded by the kernel, that we write the code to have the image, and maybe an overlayed screen with animations that display what's actually going on, and also maybe saying "press F1 for verbose mode" and it'll display the kernel text overlayed on the bootup screen. I've been looking at the kernel code, check out /usr/src/sys/dev/fb/ or if you're interested in looking at the bootup code check out /usr/src/sys/boot/i386 -Mark |

Hi all! I got response from users that http://pbidir.com link for "Most popular software" is misleading- they think that this is latest and greatest software we provide for PC-BSD and even don't look at other directories. Now they think that if Linux got newer applications then why they should use PC-BSD instead? This should be fixed yesterday already and changed to something like "Popular software for a month/week" + highest graded software. Other menu would be "Developers/Users pick/featured software".

PC-BSD may crash if it can't read filesystem properly. To eliminate problems with foreign(nonlatin) filenames we should compile iconv support into kernel: options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options LIBICONV options LIBMCHAIN options CD9660_ICONV options MSDOSFS_ICONV options MSDOSFS_LARGE options NTFS options NTFS_ICONV options UDF options UDF_ICONV This problem may arise even with samba mounted disks.
