I am having an odd problem with fetch. I cannot
fetch an ftp:-type address but I can ftp to it and get the
files just fine.
This is problematic for ports and downloading via sysinstall.
I am running the new 5.2. I am firewalled though (I did try
both passsive and active ftpmode's).
Any advice
OK, I found one of the problems that the festival app was
having playing on my system. Apparently, the authors assumed
that a SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl() was not necessary before a close()
because the close() is supposed to sync. I have found, however,
that it does make a difference.
Is close() sup
I just got new hardware and I installed 5.1 on it (not tht it matters,
because what I am asking about is observed in 4.X).
Why is it that so-called the built-in soundcard that my motherboard

By that I mean that I can play the usual multimedia stuff without

Hi, ever since we upgraded to 5.0 we have had problems with our

in dmesg to describe the problem.

I just installed freebsd 5.0. One gotcha that got me was in my
lpif filter, which used to use a clever set of redirects to send
only the outputfile output of gs to stdout while the stdout
output of gs was sent to stderr:

Hi. I'm trying to get a verizon DSL service started on my FreeBSD box.
I don't have windows running at home, so I cannot run their install software.
The nice folks there, have been helpful enough to walk me through the install.
I'm happy they are taking a shot at it.
They have given me the insta

Doh! Actually I was helping someone else make a fresh install
and I hadn't realized she'd started sysinstall from her 4.6 prompt
and not from a CD boot.
Sorry for the trouble.

Hi.
I'm trying to make a fresh install on a computer which had
4.6 on it (installing 4.7) and for some reason, although the
NEWFS=Y in every row of the disklabel dialog, I am seeing clear
signs that sysinstall is reading my old /var/db/pkg info among
other things.
This indicates to me that the

OK, to whom it may concern:
I am mirroring the examples.tgz file that Brian posted at
http://www.babbleon.org/examples.tgz
over at

until next release or until it makes its way into the errata.

Thanks. If it is not too big, I will mirror it as well. I think
someone should put it on the errata because of my painful story:

Some of us never make world. Or rather, there must be an easier way to
get this directory populated than having to learn how to make world.
"make world" kind of makes me nervous.
If this is a recognized problem, then why isn't it reported in the errata?

I just installed 4.6 and found that many of the /usr/share/examples
were missing such as
/usr/share/examples/ppp
and
/usr/share/examples/BSD_Daemon
were empty.
What gives? Is there something I should have checked off in the
base install to have gotten a complete set of examples or what?
