What is the proper or best practice method for the kernel
to notify a user level process (or processes) of an event.
This event may possibly have data. The processes may or may
not exist. The event is generated by some arbitrary kernel
event (a counter, a call being made, etc.)
Typically I have
During one of the BayAreaFreebsdUsersGroup meetings,
Matt D. and Terry were mentioning that certain do
some tricks to hold their quanta (Apache?).
What are these tricks? (Just out of curiousity).
Please reply to me directly, I will summarize the results
to the list.

I offer this new driver to any and all who are interested under the GNU
public license. Development was done solely on The Multisound Monterey
card (because it's the one I own). The Multisound family also includes
the older Classic, the later Pinnacle and Fiji. I would encourage
those users to at

I need to compile a program under the freebsd linux
emulator. How do I set up an environment where make,
cc, etcetera point to the emulator binaries?
I am attempting to recompile the xfstt port under the linux
emulator to test some stability issues.
Many thanks,

Hi Folks,
(included Daniel since he had other concerns we discussed elsewhere)
I haven't submitted a PR yet, pending the outcome of the discussion;
since the right group of people seems to be talking about it, I'll
just get out of the way :-)
Cheers,
Jerry Hicks

OK, so I was facetious in including that program - my basic point was that
it doesn't happen when I'm doing anything weird, it happens with the most

This really does need to be fixed for 4.0-RELEASE. There exists the problem

"No O.S " means that the master boot block has not been written. I have no
idea
why your version of FreeBSD didn't write on
s/line/list/
NIL is what you test against to determin if you have reached
the end of a list. the empty list is just a NIL ( hand wave over all
the car and cdr reality in favor of a simpler albeit not-correct
description of how it works.)

Hi all,
a short while ago, there was discussion about problems with Dell
Poweredge 2400s. We are currently trying to get a couple of
these beasts going (dual processor) and I'd like to know if anyone
has had any success so far.
Last time I looked, there seemed to be an issue about the
Chipset?
Hi,
I was thinking to use qpopper 2.53 port on FreeBSD 3.3 with sendmail
8.9.3 port (mail.local delivery) but I would like to know the impact of the
patches added to source files especially concerning the lock process since I
want to run a script to expire mail.
Why does ..pop stay in /var/mai

Tell him he cannot claim it is not the hardware until he actually replaces
the ram and cpu with truely known good ones and un-overclocks if he is
