Hey everyone,
I've been Googling around, trying to figure out how to see Windows
printers via CUPS on FreeBSD, but so far, all I've found are links
describing how to share FreeBSD printers with Windows boxes. Can anyone
tell me how I can connect to Windows printers via CUPS + Samba so that I

Hey everyone,
I have a FBSD 8.2 install. I've been trying to mount DOS formatted
floppy disks via a USB floppy drive, and have been getting the following
error every time:
cannot mount /dev/da0: invalid argument
I was curious to see what would happen if I created a UFS filesystem on
the fl

It was successful. I then tried to mount the new filesystem (mount
/dev/da0 /mnt), and got the same error: invalid argument. Does FBSD

Hey everyone,
I have the FreeBSD DVD (amd64) and, during an install, used the Fixit
option (while choosing to mount the DVD as the live filesystem) to load
a kernel module. After exiting the fixit shell and attempting a
standard install, when it came time to install packages, I got the

Hey everyone, for what it's worth, I just wrote a how-to detailing the
process of installing FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE directly onto a 6Gbps LSI
Logic RAID card that requires the newer mps driver. It can be found here:

No, I don't mean checking for broken ports :-P In fact, when I Google
around for the answer to my question, that's all I can find, which is
why I bring my question to the mailing list instead :) Maybe "broken
ports" or "broken packages" isn't the right term (what should I be

Thanks for the script. By any chance, are you a Gentoo user (or were
you at one point)? revdep-rebuild, a part of the gentoolkit, is the

Hey everyone,
I hope this is FreeBSD-specific enough for this list... Ever since
moving to FreeBSD, I haven't been able to use color on my color
laserjet. I've tried selecting just about every color laserjet model
from the web interface to CUPS that I can think of, and the only color

Hey everyone,
So, I have a question. I have Makefile.am, configure.in and a file
called dstring.pc.in (for a library of mine called dstring) for a
project. It always built fine on Linux. My home is now FreeBSD. This
is the first time I've tried to compile/install this library since
moving away

Hey everyone. Please bear with me as I'm very new to FreeBSD. I've
recently started building a custom kernel after having had to apply a
patch to enable support for my wireless device (Atheros 9285) in
8.0-RELEASE, and had a quick question about the process in general.
According to the document
Hey everyone,
I have an Asus EEE PC 1005HA, which has an Atheros 9285 wireless
chipset. I discovered that Rui Paulo wrote a driver, and put up a patch
for the 8.0 stable kernel here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rpaulo/ar9285_stable_8.diff
It seems to have worked for some people. After patch

Well, ok, maybe new is a relative term :-P I've had experience
installing FreeBSD in the past (I need to be able to do this for work),
but haven't done too much else with it.
