Hello,
I formatted a ssd with the following procedure:
gpart create -s gpt ad0
gpart add -t freebsd-boot -l sboot -s 64K ad0
gpart bootcode -b /mnt/boot/pmbr -p /mnt/boot/gptboot -i 1 ad0
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l sroot -b 2048 -s 1G ad0
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l svar -s 1G ad0
gpart add -t
Hi, Alan
I'm study the "Revision 187465" : "Prepare for a larger kernel virtual
address space". After read some relative source code, I have an question
about the macro NKPT on amd64: why 32 is enough for the kernel page table
pages? Do it means that the range (KERNBASE, virtual_avail) should
Xorg -configure
Xorg -config xorg.conf.new
After doing that on Toshiba Tecra A1 FreeBSD 8.2 Stable.
FreeBSD totally hanged + hard boot few times.
Hence stressing and fdisking with y option every try.
Any one suceeded rinning X on Toshiba Tecra A1?

When I find things in FreeBSD difficult to accomplish (eg. first time upgrading
world & kernel from source) I reflect on something I read I think in the
introduction to 'Learning Perl' which applies equally to FreeBSD.

And you can always create easy-to-learn GUI-based tool that works on the top
of low-level tools.

I only know FreeBSD so I can't recommend any other BSD as being "easier".

Depends on what you want to write.
I find that Gnome has pretty good built-in support (both for writing
ISO's and dysjoint files/directories).

I don't know of a stand-alone GUI program, but all the "big"
desktop environments have a favourite. The one provided by
Gnome should work quite well, but if
I've recently set up gjournal on top of gmirror on FreeBSD 8.2. I understand
that this setup has a lot of redundant writing. It is working, but I'm not
sure I've set it up as efficiently as I should.
During prolonged writes, such as copying large files to the file system

If you're already got KDE libs, running sysutils/k3b or sysutils/k3b-kde4 is
pretty light. It's feature set is comparable if not better than something

When will we bump the version of gcc? On my fresh 8.2 build it is 4.2.1. The
ports tree has newer, up to 4.7.0 dated 19 Mar 2011.

Probably never, as GPL 3 code isn't allowed in the base system. There have
