Well, about running Opera on FreeBSD, I am unable to help you there. These ports are meant to be broken and for a person who never uses GUI on UNIX boxes, it's difficult to troubleshoot X related issues. Sorry!
Coming to Network Link number change, are you trying to say you want to change the name of the NIC from en2 to en0?
For AIX, I can guide you through the process, but it's the hard way. Someone else might show you much simpler way though.
Here it is:
If you are using production system, I would highly recommend that you consult with someone who is expert in AIX ODM before doing anything!!

I have been using Linux for 3 years now, and I think I am getting enough knowledge (and confidence) to try some more 'traditional' unix variants. I installed FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. I have a couple of questions for the time being:

I'm a n00b to UNIX, but I'm making much progress. My preferred browser is Opera, and the ported version with FBSD 5.4 is Opera 7.54. Because I lost my opera key, I'd prefer to have version 8 which does not require a key. How can I install the .tar.gz on FreeBSD? I am somewhat familiar with... (2 Replies)
All,
I am a bit of a BSD newbie and haven't really played with it for years, but I have had a recent situation whereby someone attempted to load a custom kernel module and ended up breaking my BSD server.
I managed to fix it by doing the following:
Booting into loader mode:

Hi!
I have a major issue with FreeBSD 7.1 i386.
We did a change in our Unix env where we exchanged home storage from a NetAPP running udp to a NetAPP running tcp.
Now I cant mount homedirs since NFS/AMD seem to fallback to udp :(
Trying to force it with amd options nfs_proto=tcp and so on.

I just got FreeBSD up and running with an XFCE desktop on an old Gateway laptop. It works great, except the wireless setup is scaring me. I can connect to my home WiFi fine most of the time, but I'm concerned about other WiFi that I will need to connect to away from home.
I understand that I can... (1 Reply)

hosts
HOSTS(5) BSD File Formats Manual HOSTS(5)NAME
hosts -- host name data base
DESCRIPTION
The hosts file contains information regarding the known hosts on the network. It can be used in conjunction with DNS, and the NIS maps
`hosts.byaddr' and `hosts.byname', as controlled by nsswitch.conf(5). For each host a single line should be present with the following
information:
Internet address
official host name
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
This file provides a backup used when the name server is not running. For the name server, it is suggested that only a few addresses be
included in this file. These include addresses for the local interfaces that ifconfig(8) needs at boot time and a few machines on the local
network.
This file may be created from the official host data base maintained at the Network Information Control Center (NIC), though local changes
may be required to bring it up to date regarding unofficial aliases and/or unknown hosts. As the data base maintained at NIC is incomplete,
use of the name server is recommended for sites on the DARPA Internet.
Network addresses are specified in the conventional ``.'' (dot) notation using the inet_addr(3) routine from the Internet address manipula-
tion library, inet(3). Host names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character.
FILES
/etc/hosts The hosts file resides in /etc.
SEE ALSO gethostbyname(3), nsswitch.conf(5), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY
The hosts file format appeared in 4.2BSD.
