Meskipun tembok yang tinggi mengurungku
Berlapis pagar duri sekitarku
Tak satupun yang mampu menghalangiku
Menyala di dalam hatiku

Hari ini hari milikku
Juga esok masih terbentang
Dan mentari kan tetap menyala
Disini, di urat darahku

MENTARI 2

Kulihat di sana sinarmu merekah
Berikanlah cahayamu bagi negriku
Dengarlah suara seruan rakyatmu
Tertindas terbelenggu menanti tanganmu
Berikanlah cahayamu bagi negriku

UNTUK TUHAN

Untuk Tuhan, Bangsa, dan Almamater
Bergema di dalam hatiku

Kami semua cinta, cinta Indonesia

Kaumku mahasiswa
Dimana kini kau berada
Belenggu di sisi kirimu
Penjara di sisi kananmu

RAJAWALI

Dulu waktu kita berjuang
Pernah kita ikrarkan
Hapuskan s'gala penindasan
Tegakkan keadilan

Kini setelah kau dikebiri
Tidurmu kelelapan
Tak pernah kau hiraukan lagi
Rakyatmu yang k'laparan

Reff:
Kalau kau teruskan tidurmu
Kau akan jadi kambing
(kambing...kambing)
Tunjukkan pada dunia
Kau burung rajawali (haha.. haha)

Yang berjiwa satu
Bernyawa rangkap tujuh (hehe..hehe)
Walau tembok menghalang mesti diterjang
Meski korban jatuhan kita t'rus jalan

GAUDEAMUS

Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus
Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus
Post iucundam iuventutem
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus, Nos habebit humus

Vivat academia, Vivant professores
Vivat academia, Vivant professores
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivant membra quaelibet
Vivat senatores, Vivat senatores

Terjemahan lagu Gaudeamus

Mari kita bergembira, selagi masih muda
Mari kita bergembira, selagi masih muda
Setelah masa muda yang penuh keceriaan
Setelah usia tua yang penuh kesukaran
Tanah akan menguasai kita

Hidup kampusku, Hidup para profesor
Hidup kampusku, Hidup para profesor
Hidup setiap anggota
Hidup seluruh anggota
Hidup para senat, Hidup para senat

Click on Settings -> Info -> Inbox Email Address. Very handy for keeping a track of your unfinished tasks and getting things done while on the move.

1. wsmith@wordsmith.org - Get the dictionary definition and synonyms of any word by sending a blank email to this email address. Make the subject line as: define myword

And now the most useful email address that will help you read webpages through email without requiring a web connection:

0. www@web2mail.com - Send an email with the URL of the web page in the Subject field (e.g. www.cnn.com) and you'll soon find a copy of that web page in your Inbox. A perfect option when there's no Internet access in the area or access is restricted (for instance, you want to read the BBC homepage in China).

Another similar service is www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it - it will also fetch websites for you through email though in this case, the site address should go in the body of the email message.

These web-to-email services will come extremely handy for receiving on-demand Stock quotes (for the current Google stock price, type finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GOOG), weather updates, currency exchange rates (for USD to INR, type finance.yahoo.com/q?s=USDINR=X) and more.

Linux Desktop aslike MAC X OS

noreply@blogger.com (Don Komo) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:57:51 PDT

This is my second article about how to modify your Gnome Linux Desktop to look like OSX desktop. My first article is one year old and since that, there has been many changes in both, my knowledge and availability of the software and themes. This article is not written in such a detail than the first one. Remember that you can always take a look at the old article too. And I have also written Orange-look guide for Ubuntu which contains some good tips. This article answers better to question WHAT than HOW. What do I need if I want to imitate OSX? And not so much "how can I change my wallpaper" stuff.

Original design of the user interface that is
imitated here was created by Apple inc.

you can discuss about this article and OSX-modifying in general at Ubuntuforums in this thread. There is also a discusson thread in Finnish. I decided to write another guide, because my first guide became surprisingly popular. There are about 1000 unique visitors per day on my site and 26000 unique users per month. That is a lot more than I suspected and ever hoped. Thank you all!

Why I wrote this article?

Ok, there are almost always misunderstandings when people modify their OS to look some other OS. This is NOT about "I want a mac" or "I want OSX". If I would want a mac, I would go and buy one of those. No, this is simply about having fun by imitating and finding the limits of Gnome desktop. I often read that Gnome is considered very plain and not very configurable. I can't agree with that. Gnome is usable and simple, but yet very powerfull and it is possible to modify Gnome into anything you want. Now, I challenge KDE and OSX users to do the same. Can you make your KDE to look OSX as well as Gnome can imitate it? Or can you change your OSX to look Gnome, KDE or Windows? I doubt it, but I love to be proved wrong! Just to be clear, I don't want that OSX-look would be the default look of the Gnome. Gnome is beautiful with Tango icons and it should continue to follow it's own clean and usable style. I'm glad I made that clear. Now, let's begin...

Desktop Effects

OSX has some nice desktop effects like expose and magic lamp. Those not only make your desktop look good, but also improve usability. Of course, not all effets are good for usability and that's why Linux gives you a choice of which effects to use. Recently Compiz and Beryl were merged back to one project that is called Compiz Fusion. Compiz Fusion is a program that creates those amazing effects.

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 550x309.

Screenshot illustrating "magic lamp" effect when window is minimized to the dock.

I won't discuss installing and configuring Compiz Fusion in this article for two reasons. First, there are dozens of HOWTO-guides, which tell you how to do that. Second, it depends a lot of which graphics card you have, which distro you use etc. So, I recommend that you take a look of OpenCompositing forums for more information.
Basic elements of the OSX desktop

OSX has a desktop with icons as almost all desktop environments has. What gives OSX it's unique look is a dock that works as application launcher and taskmanager at the same time. Another element is an application menubar that is located on the top of the screen. This bar displays current application's menu and some system tray icons, clock etc. This differs from all the other desktop environments as fas as I know.

Emulating OSX Dock

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 511x63.

Screenshot of Avant-window-navigator emulating OSX-dock.
There are many open source projects that aims to offer OSX-dock style dock for Linux desktop. There are KXDocker, Avant-window-navigator, kiba-dock and Gnome-dock (which is actually a techology demo). My favourites are Neil J. Patel's Avant-window-navigator and Gnome-dock that was written by MacSlow. In the screenshot above you can see Avant-window-navigator that is my current choice. It can be easily modified to look like OSX-dock and it works as application laucher AND taskbar. There are also nice plugins for it that allows applications to change icon on dock. This allows Gaim to use status icons on bar and Rhythmbox to display alubm art as icon.
Screenshot of Avant-window-navigator emulating OSX-dock.

Emulating OSX menubar
OSX has only one menubar on the screen at the time. This menubar is displayed at the top of the screen with clock and system tray icons. Gnome doesn't have this kind of bar at default, but it is possible to make one. What you need is gnome-panel that is 24 pixels high. Use OSX-like background image for your panel. You can download it below. Just select the one that is correct to your resolution. If there is not version available for your resolution, it's not difficult to create one with GIMP.

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 511x32.

Screenshot of Gnome-panel that is modified to look like OSX menubar

Now that we have a panel with nice and shiny look, it's time to add some gnome-applets to it. To imitate OSX I recommend you to use clock applet, notification-area applet, deskbar-applet, macmenu-applet and some menu-applet to add that apple logo. Deskbar is a user interface for Tracker and Beagle that you can use for desktop search. Macmenu-applet is the trickiest one here. Gnome doesn't support this kind of behaviour for default so you'll need to patch GTK-librarys with some code that AqD provided to the community. You can read more about macmenu-applet and patches at Ubuntuforums. System tray icons are based on the current icon theme. So the correct way to change them is to change the icon-theme.
There is deb-packages for Ubuntu Feisty users available at Ubuntuforums. Just see this post. There is a download link and installation instructions. These packages improve AqD's patches even more. For example, underscores '_' are removed from menuitems.

Boot screen

I couldn't find a decent OSX-look-a-like bootpslash theme for Linux. So again, I did it myself. This is the great thing with the Linux. You can always do things by your self if it's not provided already. I created an usplash theme that tries to imitate OSX boot screen. There is one difference though. In real OSX boot screen there is a nice round animation and in my theme there is a progress bar. Maybe in the future I'll learn how to make that animation to Linux boot screen. I think that it's possible to do it with usplash. I'm not a usplash theme guru yet, so this theme is not perfect. Especially it doesn't support widescreen resolutions. If you have 4:3 resolution monitor then everything is ok. If you have widescreen resolution then there will be black bars on both sides of the bootimage. If you know how to fix this, please contact me. Below is a screenshot of my current usplash theme, which you can download from here.

Screenshot of my usplash theme. This image is lacking the progress bar.

Wallpaper and desktop icons

Wallpaper isn't really a part of OSX, because everyone can change that. It still creates a nice illusion if you use the wallpaper that is used to see on other OS. That's why, if you want real OSX-look then you should also use OSX-wallpaper. Get the wallpaper from here. Well, I don't have much to say about desktop icons. There are only few and there is nothing special about them. Just create desktop icons as you have used to.

Fonts

OSX uses Lucida Grande font. You can download this and other mac fonts from here. Below is a screenshot of my font settings. I also recommend you to add this fonts.conf file under your home directory. Rename file to .fonts.conf.It improves font rendering after X has been restarted.

My font settings on Gnome.

Login screen

Gnome uses GDM as a graphical login screen. There are many nice OSX-looking themes available, but none of them was good enough for me. So I took the best one and modified it a little bit. Only a little, but it's all about details. You can download GDM-theme from here. It's not perfect, but I really don't care. It's about 5 seconds on my screen and that's it. This theme is based on AppleLinux theme.

System themes

I didn't find GTK-theme that would imitate OSX as well as GTK allows. That's why I decided to create my own theme that I based on Glossy P theme, which was a good starting point. I used some of the graphics directly from Glossy P and some I did by myself. It's not a prefect copy of OSX, because there are some limitations in GTK that I can't get around. You can download my GTK-theme from here. At the moment I use Beryl compositing and it's emerald window manager. There is a great OSX Tiger theme for emerald which you can download from here.

Application specific themes

Unfortunately, not all GTK-applications uses icon-theme icons. For example Gaim, Terminal Server Client and Liferea has their own icons, which cannot be affected by changing the global icon-theme. Also Firefox and Thunderbird has themes that are out of the scope of global Gnome themeing. I don't have time and energy to write guide to all of those programs, but you should read my two previous articles, which discuss this in more detail. Here I will just offer few links and that's it.

Icons

Icons are essetial part of the desktop design. OSX has nice glossy icons and Gnome has... well... gnome has icons. I'm glad to see that Gnome started to use Tango style icons which is a huge improvment, but those doesn't really fit to OSX look that we are trying to imitate here. I have created a nice and full covering icon-theme for Gnome that uses real OSX icons and other cool icons made by talented people. Only the problem is, that I don't have copyrights and I'm uncertain can I release them here without gettig problems to myself. I advice you to create your own theme by collecting OSX-style icons from the internet. There are plenty of icons available for example at DeviantArt.

Polishing user interface

It's all about details. Espesially when you are trying to imitate something or someone. So here are some final tips that I recommend you to do. First remove that gnome-splash screen. There is no use for that and it's not very elegant. Below is a screenshot where "Show splash screen on login" is unchecked. Do the same. Notice that in latest Gnome this has to be done with gconf-editor since it's not an option in session window anymore. Another thing that I did is that I removed icons from menus. This gives a cleaner look, but it also might make your desktop less usable. At least in Gimp those icons are very handy. Anyway, here is a screenshot of my menu & toolbar settings.
All in all, keep things simple! Do not add dozens of icons to your desktop.

Crack WIFI via WINDOWS

noreply@blogger.com (Don Komo) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:57:51 PDT

Sebelum bisa masuk ke "rumah" orang pertama sekali kita harus tau dulu SSID dia. Gmn cara mengetahui SSID nya?.. Mungkin ada banyak cara, tapi ada 2 yang sering orang gunakan:
1. Menggunakan Netstumbler. (Ms Windows)
2. Menggunakan Kismet. (Linux)

Ketika kita menggunakan software tersebut, tentunya kita akan melihat beberapa SSID, yang tentunya ditangkap oleh perangkat wifi kita. Nah disitu kita bisa melihat SSID nya ter protect atau tidak. sistem proteksi di bagi 2: WEP dan WPA (anda bisa googling untuk pengertiannya).

Gmn cara masuk access point hotspot (WiFi) yang diprotek sama admin?
Untuk sistem proteksi WEP, yang pertama sekali anda lakukan adalah melakukan dumping packet data. di ms windows anda bisa menggunakan airodump.exe. software ini hanya mengenal chipset Hermes/Realtek dan Aironet/Atheros (http://atheros-chipset.blogspot.com/) .. Aduh chipset orinoco masuk ke chipset mana yah

nah perangkat anda bukan chipset tersebut, mending di buang aja karena ga bakalan di baca .. (cari alternatif s/w lain yang bisa ke detect)
Card yang udah saya coba:
1. senao pcmcia ( ga mau tuh )
2. avaya pcmcia ( mau ne )
3. usb-wifi linksys tipenya ga tau ( ga mau juga )

dumping ... usahakan dumping packetnya yang banyak, biar nantinya mudah di crack gtu (mending tidur dulu .. golek sini golek sana)

ok klo udah, buka wincrack-ng
nah terus crack tuh SSID yang mau di tembusin tadi..
maaf.. tulisan ini tidak terlalu lengkap,. jika ingin lengkap bisa googling aja .. dari artikel bergambar sampe video ada tuh

efek Menarik di Drupal

noreply@blogger.com (Don Komo) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:55:47 PDT

Beberapa efek menarik yang dapat di gabungkan dengan drupal yaitu
Docking boxes (dbx).
dengan menambahkan
animasi drag 'n' drop,
snap-to-grid,
and show/hide-contents.
Jika anda tertarik silakan kunjungi alamat situs berikut:http://www.brothercake.com/site/resources/scripts/dbx/

Docking boxes (dbx) adds animated drag 'n' drop, snap-to-grid, and show/hide-contents functionality to any group of elements. And ... in what might be another world-first for brothercake - dbx is fully accessible to the keyboard as well as the mouse, an action I've re-dubbed press 'n' push :-D

The script works in Opera 7.5 or later, Firefox and other mozilla browsers, Safari 1.2 or later, Konqueror 3.2 or later, and Internet Explorer 6 (with javascript enabled).

The position and state of each box is recorded to a cookie whenever it changes, and re-applied on subsequent page views, so the script's primary use is as a self-persisting behavioral add-on for websites, intranets or web-applications, wherever this kind of functionality is required.

But over and above that, events and data from the script are reported to a set of API functions, which allow for easy integration into more complex systems - such as using the dragable elements as a data-input interface. In conjunction with remote procedure call scripting (such as XMLHttpRequest) you could use the interface as a controller to virtually any client- or server-side application: site-navigation, games, CMS or forum administration areas, server management CPs, webmail interfaces ... the possibilities are endless.
Latest update

Here's another clutch of demos to highlight the major features, and suggest some ideas for possible applications:

noreply@blogger.com (Don Komo) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:55:47 PDT

Team MWI (Master Web Indonesia) selalu memantau perkembangan dunia web di Indonesia, maka tak lupa kami akan memberikan wawancara maupun interview kepada profesi-profesi web yang berkompeten.

Jika anda ingin di wawancara silahkan hubungi kami :
team@master.web.id

Kasus Hacker Indonesia di Singapore oleh Edy Liu
diambil dari source: http://www.master.web.id/tutorial/wawancara/01-09-00b.htm
Team MWI :   Anda adalah pemilik Hackerlink, bagaimana tanggapan anda dengan adanya gerakan AntiHackerlink ?
Edy Liu :   hackerlink tidak di miliki oleh saya =) tapi dimiliki oleh komunitas hackerlink. gerakan antihackerlink pada intinya ingin mengembalikan ide awal kami pada jalurnya, sayangnya beberapa rekan melakukan hal - hal yang menyebabkan kami tampaknya sedang berselisih =)

Team MWI :   Dengan tertangkapnya salah satu hacker Indonesia di Singapore karena penyelundupan ke sistem dari Data Storage Institute, kabarnya hacker ini adalah dari AntiHackerlink, bagaimana antisipasi anda terhadap hal ini menyangkut anda adalah seorang pelaku bisnis internet selaku dari Hackerlink juga ?
Edy Liu :   tidak usah di pungkiri saya berasal dari indolinux, sedangkan hackerlink merupakan wadah tempat saya dan teman - teman saling berinteraksi mengenai hal - hal yang kita sukai.

untuk masalah keamanan server, server kami dimonitoring 24 jam, kami yakin bahwa tidak ada server yang sempurna akan terobosan, akan tetapi kami mencoba meminimalisasi hal ini dengan melakukan interaksi - interaksi dari teman - teman, dan terima kasih atas bantuannya selama ini, server kami boleh dikatakan sudah sedikit aman dari rata - rata.

Team MWI :   Dalam kasusnya di Singapore, anda sempat ke Singapore apakah memang ada rencana untuk bertemu dengan hacker Indonesia yang tertangkap ini ? Bagaimana keadaan dan berita sebenarnya maupun apa yang terjadi ?
Edy Liu :   saya sudah bertemu dengan Wenas dua hari yang lalu, dan dia tampak sedih mengenai hal ini, saya hanya memberikan pesan agar hal ini tidak terulang lagi di masa yang akan datang, bagaimanapun juga yang menjadi susah adalah orang tuanya juga.

Saya dan Wenas sendiri tidak ada masalah.

Team MWI :   Menurut anda perkembangan internet di Indonesia masih melaju, bagaimana pendapat anda mengenai dunia perkembangan hacker di Indonesia ?
Edy Liu :   perkembangan hal ini sangat cepat sekali, jika anda tidak waspada maka anda akan terkena impact negativenya.

Team MWI :   Sebenarnya apa sih bedannya Hacker dengan Craker ?
Edy Liu :   pada intinya hacker melakukan hal yang positif sedangkan cracker melakukan hal yang negatif.

Team MWI :   Sudah berapa lama anda terjun didunia hacker ? dan asal muasalnya dari mana ? bisa ceritakan, apa karena hobby ?
Edy Liu :   saya bukan hacker =) saya hanya seseorang yang gemar menggunakan komputer.

Team MWI :   Spesifikasi komputer yang anda gunakan ?
Edy Liu :   Intel Pentium III 733
256 SDRAM
52 GB HD

Ini komputer utama yang saya gunakan =)

Team MWI :   Bagaimana sih supaya seseorang bisa dibilang seorang Hacker ?
Edy Liu :   doing positif things, seperti evaluasi sistem keamanan dan memberikan anjuran mengenai lubang keamanan tersebut. jika anda melakukan html defaced, hal itu tidak akan berarti apa - apa, hanya untuk mencari popularitas.

Team MWI :   Bisa anda memberi saran dan masukan untuk para pendatang baru yang baru belajar soal hacker ?
Edy Liu :   just stay on the line

Team MWI :   Pendapat anda tentang hacker dengan profesi web lainnya ?
Edy Liu :   hacker bisa menjadi apa saja ;p webmaster, webprogrammer, netadmin, flasher, hostmaster, etc - etc ;p anywhere anytime asalkan berinteraksi dengan jaringan =)

The 10 Commandments for New Linux Users

noreply@blogger.com (Don Komo) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:57:51 PDT

Thou shalt not log in as root.
Use "sudo" or "su -" for administrative tasks.
Thou shalt use the package manager when possible.
Sometimes installing from source code can't be avoided, but when you use your distro's package manager to install software, you can also use it to update and remove it. This is one of the main strengths of Linux.
Thou shalt be a part of the community.
Freely give what you have received for free. Offer help and advice whenever you can.
Thou shalt read documentation and man pages.
Always read the documentation. The people who wrote the software tried to anticipate your questions, and provided answers before you asked.
Thou shalt use the available support system.
Switching to Linux can be tough. It can be frustrating, but there are a lot of people out there who want to help you. Let them.
Thou shalt search.
In most cases, your question or problem has already been addressed. Try to find the answers that are already out there before asking someone to provide a new one.

Thou shalt explore.
Linux opens a whole new world of options and possibilities. Try everything you can.
Thou shalt use the command line.
Especially when it comes to configuration, use the GUI tools to get your system working, but get to know the command line versions as well. In many cases, the command line is the only way to use some of the more advanced features.
Thou shalt not try to recreate Windows.
Linux is not meant to be a clone of Windows. It's different. Embrace and appreciate the differences.
Thou shalt not give up.
I tried several distributions before I found one I liked. I still try other distros from time to time. I also tried several different programs to serve one purpose before settling on what I use now (amarok, xmms, beep, exaile for music - azureus, ktorrent, deluge for bittorrents). If you don't like the defaults, remember that you can change almost everything to suit you.
Can you think of any rules to live by to pass on to the new Linux users reading this? Put them in the comments!

Turn FreeBSD into a Multimedia Workstation

noreply@blogger.com (Don Komo) — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:36:05 PDT

I recently purchased a shiny new PC and decided to turn it into a multimedia desktop. I spend far too much time in research and networking; I figured it was time to delve deeper into the world of Flash, DVD, and mp3s.

FreeBSD still seems to get a bad rap as a desktop. The impression is still out there that sure, it's a rock-solid server, but you need a master's degree in rocket science in order to get a sound card or Java to work. Hogwash. Granted, you still have to take the time to build and configure the components you desire, but that is the beauty of FreeBSD. No company is deciding for you what you want in your desktop, and you have the satisfaction of knowing you built your system your way. Not to mention the literally hundreds of multimedia applications to choose from, some which put their commercial counterparts to shame.

In today's article, I'll concentrate on a fresh install that is totally up-to-date, then move on to integrating Java, Flash, and streaming multimedia into a browser. I'll be taking the slow, systematic route, so follow along and pick out the bits that are interesting to you.

Being the paranoid person that I am, I like to install from CD, reboot into a firewalled system, than CVSup to the latest sources. Before starting any install, I always copy the following onto a floppy:

My shell configuration file (~/.cshrc) {see "Understanding Shell Prompts" }.
My firewall ruleset ( /etc/ipfw.rules) {see "BSD Firewalls: Fine-Tuning Rulesets"}.
My customized /etc/rc.conf file.
My customized cvsup configuration file, refuse file, and /etc/make.conf file.

I then start the install from CD and choose to install everything, including the ports collection. Once bin has been installed, I press Alt-F4, which now has a prompt. I then mount the floppy and copy over the first three files:

mkdir /floppy
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
cd
cp /floppy/.cshrc .
source .cshrc  (I now have my favorite prompt)

cp /floppy/.cshrc /usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc (now the users I create will  
					    also get my favorite prompt)

cp /floppy/ipfw.rules /etc/
cp /floppy/rc.conf /etc/
umount /floppy

Usually, by the time I've unmounted the floppy, the install is also finished and prompting me for post-install configuration. I then reboot and watch the messages to ensure that my firewall rules successfully load.

Now that I'm protected by a firewall, I'll go out on the Internet and download the latest sources and today's port collection. First, I'll install the cvsup-without-gui utility:

 su
Password:
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
make install clean
and answering the questions as they appear. (Pressing enter for the 
Once the build is finished, I'll remount that floppy and copy over the  
remaining files:








  



mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
cp /floppy/cvs-supfile ~
cp /floppy/make.conf /etc/
cd /usr/local/etc
mkdir cvsup
cd cvsup
mkdir sup
cd sup
cp /floppy/refuse .  
umount /floppy


If you've never done a CVSup before, you'll want to read the  CVSup section 
of the handbook first.


I was both intimidated and intrigued when I was first introduced to the 
whole CVSup concept. Now, I couldn't live without it, and the knowledge  
that my operating system is completely up-to-date in security and 
functionality and that all of my installed applications are the latest and 
greatest. The handbook will show you how to customize the files needed to   
use CVSup; mine look like this:


more /root/cvs-supfile
*default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org 
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr 
*default tag=RELENG_4_6_2_RELEASE
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.

more /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse 
doc/es*
doc/fr*
doc/ja*
doc/ru* 
doc/zh*
ports/biology
ports/chinese
ports/french
ports/german
ports/hebrew
ports/japanese
ports/korean
ports/russian
ports/ukranian
ports/vietnamese 

more /etc/make.conf
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/defaults/make.conf,v  1.97.2.67 
#        2002/06/02 16:07:01 matusita Exp $ 
#
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
#
# To avoid building various parts of the base system:
NO_BIND=	true	# do not build BIND
NO_FORTRAN=	true	# do not build g77 and related libraries 
NO_I4B=	true	# do not build isdn4bsd package 
NO_LPR=	true	# do not build lpr and related programs
NOPROFILE=	true	# Avoid compiling profiled libraries
NOUUCP=	true	# do not build uucp related programs
DOC_LANG=	en_US.ISO8859-1  


Once you have created your own customized files, invoke  CVSup like so:


cvsup -g -L 2 ~/cvs-supfile


The CVSup utility will do its thing, and the results will be displayed to  
your screen. The first time you run this program, you will download a lot  
of changes to src; this means you'll also be rebuilding your world. (What 
did you do on Saturday? Oh, nothing much, just rebuilt the world ... ) You  
don't have to rebuild the  world everytime you CVSup, just when there are 
changes to src. Once your system is up-to-date, src rarely changes; 
usually this only occurs when there is a security-related patch. The   handbook 
gives instructions on how to cron your CVSup ; I prefer to do mine by hand, so I 
can watch the output to see if  src has changed.


The CVSup utility will also download all of the new ports changes. Ports change 
on a daily basis, so I like to  CVSup every day or so to keep my ports collection  
up-to-date. I then use the portupgrade utility found in the sysutils section 
of the ports collection to keep my already installed ports up-to-date.  
Michael Lucas wrote an excellent article on the portupgrade  utility,

which should get you started.



Since I'm on a new system, I'll rebuild the world once CVSup is finished. 
Again, if you've never built a world , a careful read of that section of the handbook is in order. 


Since this a fresh install, I don't have any data to back up. If I ever  
need to rebuild the world on a working system, I'll definitely take a few 
minutes and back up /etc  and my home directory:


cd /etc
tar czvf /dev/fd0 .
tar czvf  etc.tar .


I take extra care with /etc and back it up to both a floppy and a file. I 
 then email myself that file, just in case things go terribly wrong. I tend 
to be less diligent with my home directory, as I usually don't have any data  
that I would shed tears over if it was lost. Except for my bookmarks; I  
always email myself a copy of my bookmarks. If you're attached to your 
data, back up your home directory.


The first time you build  world, follow the  handbook's instructions 
carefully and be prepared for it to take a while. Also, use the generic 
kernel; wait until you have a new  world before you customize your kernel. 

On a fresh install, I go straight into single user mode, which means I  
can't do anything else on that computer for a few hours. On a working 
system, I tend to cheat a little and not go into single user mode until it's  
time to actually install the world. 
 

shutdown now
cd /usr/src		    (enters single user mode)
make -j4 buildworld	(this is the step that takes the longest; 
                     it took about 2 hours on a freshly installed  
                     P3 with 320 MB of RAM) 
make buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
shutdown -r now


Once my system reboots, I have a totally up-to-date operating system,  
which means I can start installing my favorite applications. I'll start  
with the latest release of XFree86, as many of the multimedia 
applications use it. I've found the easiest way to install is to 
download the sources directly and use the built-in install script. Since I 
 haven't installed any applications yet, I'll download these files the 
old-fashioned way. But first, I'll create a directory to hold the files  
and cd into that directory before starting the  ftp:


mkdir /usr/XFree86-4
cd /usr/XFree86-4

ftp ftp.xfree86.org
Connected to   ftp.xfree86.org.
220  ftp.xfree86.org FTP server (Version wu-2.6.1(1) Wed Dec 5 13:09:53 EST

Now, it's a simple matter of invoking the script:


sh Xinstall.sh 
 

default answer works, if you're unsure of the correct answer.)

Once that is finished, I start building my favorite windows manager.
Currently, this is KDE, which is a very, very long build; the kind of build
you start before going to bed in the hopes that it will be finished by the
time you wake up in the morning. So, I'll start its build in one terminal:

cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3
make install clean

I'll then go to a second terminal and install the XFree86-4 libraries
before I forget; most of the applications I'll be building require these:

cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-libraries
make install clean

And on a third terminal, I'll configure the XFree86 Server. This is the
first time I had configured a system with an USB mouse; during the install, I
answered yes when it asked if I had a USB mouse. I'll now double-check
that I have the following lines in /etc/rc.conf:

usbd_enable="YES"
moused_flags="/dev/ums0"  
usbd_flags="-vv"

Before configuring your own XFree86 Server, make sure you have the
following information:

The make and model of your video card.
The amount of memory in your video card.
The type of mouse and what com port it is on, if it is a serial mouse.

Then:

/stand/sysinstall
Configure
XFree86
 XF86Setup  (if you have an unsupported video card and get an error 
		    message, choose xf86config instead)

If you're prompted to configure your mouse, do so, and test it 'til it
works. You will then be able to use it to select your video card and desired
settings. Hopefully, all will go well for you fairly quickly.

Once I had a running XFree86 Server, I left the superuser account and
created a .xinitrc file in my home directory that contained the following
line:

exec startkde

Once KDE finally finishes building, I'll be able to type startx to
receive my KDE desktop.

Next comes the browser. I've been pretty satisfied with Mozilla; it has
its flaky moments, but for the most part it is speedy, configurable, and supports plugins and skins.

cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla
make install clean

Next, I'll create a custom kernel that supports Java and sound:

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
cp GENERIC MULTIMEDIA

I'll then add the following lines to MULTIMEDIA:

options		USER_LDT		#used by java
 options		CPU_ENABLE_SSE		#used by DVD
device		pcm			#builds PCI soundblaster support

I've always had good luck with the SoundBlaster PCI 128; it's a
reasonably-priced soundcard that only requires one line in the kernel
configuration file in order to work.

Once I've saved my changes to MULTIMEDIA:

cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MULTIMEDIA
make installkernel KERNCONF=MULTIMEDIA

Once the kernel is installed, I'll ensure that I've saved all of the work on my
other terminals, then:

reboot

Now, I'll use Mozilla to download the files I need for Java support:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html

Click on "Linux GNUZIP Tar shell script."
Accept license agreement.
Save to /usr/ports/distfiles/j2sdk-1_3_1_04-linux-i586.bin.

http://wwws.sun.com/software/java2/download.html

Click to download JavaTM 2 SDK 1.3.1 (requires free registration).
Save to /usr/ports/distfiles/j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar.gz.

http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk13.html

Click on "Download the latest BSD JDK 1.3.1 patchset."
Agree to download Patchset7.
Save to /usr/ports/distfiles/bsd-jdk131-patches-7.tar.gz.

cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk13
make install clean 

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk13
make install clean

To see if it worked, restart Mozilla and go to Help -> About Plug-ins. You
should get about a page's worth of Java plugins. A short trip to
javaboutique.internet.com should convince you that Java is indeed
functional.

Next comes streaming multimedia:

cd /usr/ports/www/plugger
make install clean

This port installs mpeg, avi, quicktime, midi, and pdf support; you'll see the full list once you re-check your Help -> About Plug-ins. Then, head over to the plugger testing grounds.

Finally, the Flash plugin:

 cd /usr/ports/www/flashplugin-mozilla
make install clean

Before installing this plugin, be advised that Flash is a registered
trademark and it was "designed solely for the Windows PC and Macintosh
desktop operating systems." There are also redistribution issues, which
means that the GPL version does NOT support full Flash functionality.
This means that some Flash sites will work, some will hang, some will
crash your browser.

For example, if you install the Flash plugin, don't bother heading over to
www.shockwave.com unless you
want to watch your browser crash. And I've found that it depends upon
the phase of the moon and a certain combination of mojo whether or not
the Flash ecards at Hallmark will show me anything other than a grey
screen. However, my browser seems to have no problems displaying those
annoying Flash introductions that are becoming increasingly popular on
Web sites. Go figure.

Now that Mozilla supports plugins, I'll move on to installing some skins.
Go to the Edit menu -> Preferences. Click on Appearance -> Themes, then
click on the hyperlink for Get New Themes.

I liked the themes at mozdev.org. SkyPilot looked interesting, so I
clicked on its link, then on SkyPilot again in the Install row of the chart.
I then checked "Use this theme" in the Confirm box and pressed OK. Once the
install did its thing, I went back to Preferences, highlighted SkyPilot and
pressed OK. Mozilla informed me the changes would take effect the next time I
started Mozilla.

Now that my browser looks pretty awesome, I'll head over to my favorite wallpaper site:

To change the wallpaper in KDE, right click the desktop and choose
Configure Desktop. Click on the Background icon, the Wallpaper tab, and
browse for your favorite wallpaper.

In next week's article, we'll move on to the wonderful world of sound and
some utilities that will impress even your Windows buddies.

Editor's note: a previous version of this article mistakenly used
make installworld instead of make installkernel. As well, the link to the plugger testing grounds has been fixed. We
apologize for the inconvenience.
