Hi,
I am currently having the author of the SDL-library on my box trying to
cook up a port of the SDL-library for FreeBSD.
SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is the library used by Loki Software to
build CIV:CTP
As I have seen now the entire library works perfectly ;-)

Hi!
Apparently, we have two distinct MBRs in the sources.
First one is in /usr/src/sbin/i386/fdisk.c, and could be
installed onto disk by ``fdisk -b'', for example.
The second one is in /usr/src/release/sysinstall/wizard.c,
and could be installed onto disk by ``sysinstall''.
It is confusing...

Why are you thinking of using user PPP for this? As you say, at the

Yup, they're doing it.
I would guess that FreeBSD would need a fairly thorough revamp of its
handling of kernel memory allocation before XFS would be fully usable,
though: XFS buffer management is pretty full-on.
If I want to read and write a file, I can do it in two ways:

Level-triggered interrupts are persistent conditions, not queueable
events. They typically require device-driver level intervention to be
cleared. This is a major error in the PCI design (no surprises
there).
