Hello All!
Unfortunatly, i was having a minor hard disk problem on my first FreeBSD
installation, and (so used to Debian) i thought i could fsck after "shutdown
now". Apparently this was not the case, as my file systems were still
mounted. After a quick re-install, with backups, it appears my M
Yeah, I know it's odd. I had different problem from what you had, but after
building php by hand (not using portinstall), it worked perfectly. I didn't
check which of the default option turned on by the port caused my problem
though. My problem was when apache tried to run php compiled as cgi fr
Adapting zmore for the case where you specify the files to display on
the command line is not problem at all:

OK, the point of this whole exercise was to find out if what I'd heard
about USB 2 being half duplex and thus a bad idea for RW mass storage
was true. It looks like it, but on the other hand, it looks like I'm
only running at USB 1 speeds too:
