Re: 80386 out of GENERIC

I somehow suspect that embedded systems vendors aren't installing from the CDROM. why is this an issue? 1) supporting every computer made since 1964 is NetBSD's job, not FreeBSD's. 2) I'm scared that 5.0 is going to be unpleasantly slow on my p2-366, let alone a 386. 3) if you feel compelled to run old hardware, why not shell out $30 for a 486 system? for $50 you can get a Pentium 166. :-) I'm really keen to see FreeBSD move *forward*. chris --- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net I think, said Christopher Robin, that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry. -- A.

Re: src/games bikeshed time.

I probably would not miss anything else, or anything that wasn't multiplayer, very much, if at all... it looks like an axeing may be in order. Rain looks ridiculous on a VTY. Last time it looked ok was on a 9600 baud terminal. from the man page: The output of rain is modeled after the VAX/VMS program of the same name. To obtain the proper effect, either the terminal must be set for 9600 baud or the -d option must be used to specify a delay, in milliseconds, between each update. A reasonable delay is 120; the default is 0. it looks fine with the delay. I like the games, although as long as they're easily available and things like fortune and primes stick around (preferably in /usr/games, because otherwise I'll just end up making my own /usr/games directory and symlinking those files from /usr/bin or wherever, because they're in /usr/games on every other system and I'm not really interested in having FreeBSD be pointlessly different if I can help it). chris --- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net I think, said Christopher Robin, that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry. -- A.

ALTQ status?
does anyone know the status of the ALTQ merge? I checked the webpage (http://www.rofug.ro/projects/freebsd-altq/), and it was last updated on August 25th, but 5.0 (and especially its feature freeze) is creeping up quickly, and there's no mention of ALTQ in the -current release notes (http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/CURRENT/relnotes-i386.html). I don't have a machine to run -current on, so I don't have the source code; and I couldn't find anything about ALTQ in the mailing list archives. anyone have a line on this? thanks, chris --- Chris Doherty chris [at] randomcamel.net I think, said Christopher Robin, that we ought to eat all our provisions now, so we won't have so much to carry. -- A.
