I just attempted to install Arla from ports - I need a working AFS client.
It is on FreeBSD 5.5 because I was informed that it would not work on 6.1
due to problems using locks (kernel locks??) that have not been resolved.
Supposedly though, it is supposed to work on FreeBSD 5.5. But,

Jerry,
Generally, FreeBSD needs a primary slice to boot and run.
I assume what you are calling 'normal partition' is what is
called a primary slice.
Thanks - I had a mental blank as to what to call primary slices :)
My suggestion is to shrink that 'logical partition'

Hi There,
I partitioned my PC Compatible machine like this:

There's no sectors left to make another normal partition.

Avoid top posting.
Then, check out cvsup and keeping your source and ports up to date

Hi All,
I have read through release notes, etc and not seen anything, but I am
wondering if there have been any changes in recent FreeBSD releases -
especially 6.xx, (but possibly 5.xx), that would affect burncd(8) and how
it works - or if it works.
I have a machine that was at about 4.11 and

By the way, Openoffice does work nicely on FreeBSD 6.1 and Gnome
