Should the code still work? libkvm is being gradually deprecated - you don't have to use it to do what you want. Please take a look at the code in src/sbin/kget - it does something very similar.

JDK1.2 build
Hi folks, I've asked this on the questions list but no one there could resolve the problem so I thought I would ask it on the hackers list. First note I have all the ports required. I've had the following problems in building the jdk: There were problems with ALT_BOOTDIR finding the linux jdk so I removed it (which the error message indicates as a fix) and things seemed to go ok UNTIL I get /usr/local/java/jdk1.2/x86/bin/javac: permission denied gmake[3]: *** [.compile.classlist] Error 126 (the permissions are all open so that should be ok). Maybe its somehow related to the ALT_BOOTDIR but I doubt it. I had script turned on I include the output below. I find this to be rather strange. I'm well into day two of staring at it so help is definitely needed. I considered doing the entire build by hand, following the instructions given online but was pinning my hopes on you guys before doing that.

Problem with terminal type.
Hi. I have diskless station and now when I try to connect to it, I receive such message tcsh: No entry for terminal type "xterm" tcsh: using dumb terminal settings. it happened after that as I on server mv /usr/share /services/share and made ln -s /usr/share /services/share, but /services/share is not visible from diskless station, so what and where I need to copy to decide this problem. Also when I try to log off I receive such message tput: tgetent failure: No such file or directory tput: tgetent failure: No such file or directory Thank you very much for any help.

If I understand your question correctly, you probably mount /usr
from an nfs-server, but since you on the server moved /usr/share
away from the exported filesystem, it is no longer visible from the
client.
You should either export /services/share ("man exports") on the
server, and mount that filesystem on the client as well, or move
/usr/share back where it belongs :-)
> Thank you very much for any help.
NP - this question probably qualifies for freebsd-questions rather
than -hackers, though.
Ah, and please don't ask your question as a reply in an unrelated
thread - thread hijacking is not a Good Thing.
Hope this helps,

So it works out, doesnt it? When are you going to get it into your heads? You are not supporting me by buying what we sell. You are making a business decision, paying a price because you believe the product has at least the value of the price to you. This "consumer" attitude that you are doing a company a favor by buying something from them is completely misguided. Most companies are not some ISP or consultant struggling to pay its bills. WE are doing you a favor by making our technology available to you at a fair price. If you dont see it that way, then you have a serious problem. Because Cisco, and Intel, and 3Com and yes, Emerging Technologies will survive without your business and your attitude. We dont expect to make every sale. >This is why, unless there is no reasonable alternative, your >products will not be on my short-list of solutions.

Yeah yeah, companies are there for the stockholders. Screw the customers. While this is a nice short-term business plan, I'm really curious how this social experiment will end up in the long run.
