Quite foolishly, I ran this command without thinking it through:
portupgrade -arR
It's been running for 15 hours or so now, and I'm wondering how much
longer it is likely to take? I realize that "that depends" ,
but I've love some anecdotal hints if anyone's got some. I installed
4.8 from a CD,
I recently ran portupgrade to get to a state that approximates current,
and when I rebooted exim is not running. It used to, just fine, but now
when I boot I've got no MTA. I can tell you, fetchmail thinks this is
quite the problem :-)
What could have caused this? As far as I can tell it was be

After much effort I found a wireless PCMCIA card that is supported by
FreeBSD. Now I have to get connected to a wireless network, and I need
some help.
I have read man wi, and the Handbook, but I'm still missing something.

After much rooting through this list's archives I tried adding this to

You can do this in vi. If you are trying to keep only the beginning,
you'd do this, where ++ is the first line you don't want:

remnants of the previous OS (Win98), but if I hit F2 I get squat.
Does this ring any bells for anyone? Or should I just install Windoze
first (I have to dual-boot :-( ) and then try again? Any input would be
appreciated. Thanks.

I have grown tired of using MS Word as my standard document output

my favourite tool by a long shot) and I am most happy generating text in

The Challenge:
An old laptop, with no OS that can only boot from a floppy. I want to

I have a USB CDROM, but I cannot make it bootable at the BIOS level.

Is anyone using exim as their MTA? I am attempting to migrate to

undeliverable.
