The same problem happens with the Linux run time linker - it merrily tries to link FreeBSD libraries to Linux binaries with predictable results.. One trick I use for that is to put a symlink in /compat/linux in the place the problematic FreeBSD library is..

I have a bunch of printer drivers that I've used that link in > linux shared libraries... They are in ports... Good point.. The problem is really the Linux linker - it will find a FreeBSD library and try and use it ahead of a Linux one later in the search path - this prevents stuff working :) I have this exact problem with libfontconfig and Xilinx ISE. Perhaps instead of ignore, use last.. But then it doesn't really matter for the FreeBSD linker - I imagine I would have to convince Linux folks it's a good idea. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Actually I wrote them the wrong way, how odd! I actually have.. group: cache ldap files passwd: cache ldap files I think that if it fails ldap, it does so very quickly - it certainly did this morning when I rebooted uncleanly.

I think that is pretty debatable, you could certainly use them to install onto a new disk - say you had a machine you couldn't boot the install media off so you put the disk in your PC. Also, it should be very difficult to destroy your installed setup while you're actually booted into it because GEOM will prevent partition changes to mounted disks. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You'd need to add an option to do this - enabling it by default would break a lot of stuff (eg I use ppp -direct for incoming PPP calls).

You might want to consider an Athlon (maybe underclock it) - the AMD IXP 700/800 south bridge seems to work well with FreeBSD (in my experience). These boards (eg Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H) have 6 SATA ports (one may be eSATA though) and PATA, they seem ideal really.. You can use PATA with CF to boot and connect 5 disks plus a DVD drive. The CPU is not fanless however, but the other stuff is, on the plus side you won't have to worry about CPU power :) Also, the onboard video works well with radeonhd and is quite fast. One other downside is the onboard network isn't great (Realtek) but I put an em card in mine. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Oh well :) I think you're missing the point of a -current snapshot. It is _not_ designed for someone to come along and go "hey I'd like to get into developing FreeBSD, I'll install it". It is there as a "system test" (ie make sure make release works) and to provide a handy ISO for gurus if they need to bootstrap something.

You could try finding a -current snap that does work, but it's probably going to be quicker to just get the latest 7 release, install and then cvsup/csup to HEAD then build & install. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
