Bootstrapping usb flash

2006-02-14 Thread Mikko Heiskanen
I have a Lacie Orange 7Gb usb flash drive, into which I've tried to install FreeBSD 6-RELEASE a couple of times. I've had no luck booting it, only a "invalid diskslice" -message after normal installation and boot. However, netbsd3 boots nicely with default install off the drive, as does archlin

Script to merge mailinglist archives

2005-01-27 Thread Mikko Heiskanen
Hi list. I've found archives of freebsd-questions mailinglist very useful. But I have found them difficult to search, as in one month there can be many archives, not just one per month. So I would like to merge all archives of the same month into a single mailbox containing all messages sent that

linux emulation

2004-12-02 Thread Mikko Heiskanen
I've been wondering about this some time now. The linux compatibility layer (kernel module + linux_base -port) is told to be able to run linux binaries. The handbook even describes for a couple of heavy-duty applications how this is done. However, after reading that part of the handbook and googlin
