Slim? I don't mind helping with testing; since I'm running kfreebsd as a vm, when I get a chance I'll clone the vm and install wheezy gnome, kde, and xfce. Does pastebin work in kfreebsd? What about the bts package? David Watson e: hiranwat...@gmail.com On 9 October 2011 1

Desktop environment

2011-10-09 Thread David Watson
I'm planning to install X and a desktop environment on my wheezy kfreebsd system. From the thread about gnome-terminal, I'm thinking to stay away from gnome for now. What about kde - are the base packages fairly stable? Or should I use a light environment like XFC (I think that's the name of it)

ilities in grub (normal boot for each kernel + single-user mode boot for each kernel). And none of the boot commands for each boot possibility contain the kern.hz command. Why would this be so? How can I ensure that the kern.hz parameter is set and passed to the kernel upon boot? David Watson e: hiranw

In Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, is there an equivalent to /boot/loader.conf? Or can I edit grub's config file to pass kernel parameters? I was finally able to install kFreeBSD, but I'm having the same problem as I mentioned in a previous thread - the vm is using up a lot of cpu even when the os is idle
