Parallel ZIP drive hangs machine

1999-04-18 Thread Smelly Pooh
I'm running current as of April 6th and whenever I try to multi-volume tar directly to my parallel port zip drive using /dev/da0 it hangs when it gets to the end of the zip. I don't think it's a hardware problem because I've seen it happen on 2 completely separate machines. To Unsubscribe: send

Has the worm driver been taken out of current? If so does the CAM CD driver handle ATAPI CD-Rs or what is the new way of doing it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I've noticed that as I'm constantly syncing my /usr/ports directory and upgrading programs, the old packages stay there. If I pkg_delete them and there's an unchanged file that exists in both the update and the original then tat gets deleted too. Any way of cleanly removing old packages? Inciden
