It starts ps(1) first, then grep(1) together with creating the pipeline by connecting ps's stdout to grep's stdin. Depending on system load and various other factors, this may allow ps(1) to grab the snapshot of the process table that it works on before grep(1) has started. It's a race condition. Whether you see this effect or not will depend very much on system conformation and load. I can't reproduce the effect on a lightly loaded dual processor machine, which always shows the grep process, whereas on a single processor virtual machine running under VirtualBox, I never see grep in the ps output unless I renice the ps(1) process.

the e-aigu and i cannot find it in any of the docs.
Isnt e-aigu part of the ASCII table? Depending on your editor,
can you manually enter it using the two accents key (on the
german keyboard directly left to the backspace key) to enter
the sequence accent-letter, generating é, É, è and È?
Finally, LaTeX allows you to add the diacritical mark using
the proper macro: \'{e} - while in this case the apostrophe
key is used to create the ' (as a stand-alone character, or
single quote).
the most important part is that i want the demo blurb
[[modified from usenet when i drafted this]] in typewriter
typeface. the docs i googled said that {\tt text blah blah }
would put the text between the braces in typewriter-font.
Use the safe LaTeX form: \texttt{text blah blah}, allthough
the for you used - switching to \tt face using scope, is
possible.
i would like to make the text smaller that the surrounding text.
If you want to quote text (which indents it), use \begin{quote} ...
\end{quote}.
so my last question is: how do i tell tex/latex to make the
denoted text in tt font and with 9pt size?
LaTeX doesn't give you direct control over pt sizes - and that's
GOOD. Just imagine your text is 10pt in general, and you want
several passages to be 6pt. Fine. Now you decide that your text
is better in 12pt in general - and you now need to set all
occurances of 6pt manually to a different value.
LaTeX uses relative font size modifiers.
\tiny - \scriptsize - \footnotesize - \small - \normalsize -
\large - \Large - \LARGE - \huge - \Huge.
The base size it refers to is declared in your preable, e. g.
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{article}
which sets 12pt as reference value for \normalsize.
You can use them either by switch state or by scopus, e. g.
Now big text will follow. \Huge Zorch, uch huge text!!!
\normalsize Ah, being back to normal.
which is equivalent to
Now big text will follow. {\Huge Zorch, uch huge text!!!}
Ah, being back to normal.
Personally, I prefer the second form.
the \\ should give
the ragged edge as it appeared on the tube. this works in
{verse} anyway. i'm not sure what to do at the bottom of the
post; i figure trial/error will anser that.
The \\ macro creates a forced line-break within a paragraph and
should hardly be used. It's microformatting, and that's what
LaTeX should not be abused for. :-)
here is the bit of the novel that i need help with. any/all help
is much appreciated.

``Can you show me?'' she said.
Erm, why don't you use doublequotes instead of doubled singlequotes?
Yes, it sounds stupid, but it's like implementing quotes using commas
and apostrophes ,,like in this example'' for example. :-)
Use ` (doublequote backtick) for opening quotes and ' (doublequote
apostrophe) for closing quotes. When I say doublequote, I refer to
the inch character (as in 21 CRT) in your alphanumerical keyboard
section.
You can also use macros for quoting, but I found them a bit too
much typing, I just wanto to mention them: there are \glqq and \grqq
(german left quote quote, german right quote quote) and \glq and \grq,
representing ,,text'' and ,text'. There are also \flqq (french left
quote quote) and the forms \frqq, \flq and \frq, to use text
and text; for russian quotes, text and text, use them in
the opposite order.
``Okay, this is one of the groups where you'll find endless arguments.
This is the newsgroup called `talk.abortion.' Now the first article here
is this one--'' Erik typed another key and a brief paragraph displayed:
{\tt chris\_sm...@holyrose.mass.edu Christopher L. Z. Smith
I would use
\begin{quote}
{\tt chris\_sm...@holyrose.mass.edu Christopher L. Z. Smith
next paragraph here
and maybe another one
}
\end{quote}
in this example. Works perfectly for multilines and paragraphs.
Don't only focus on how things look like; make it clear to you
what certain passages and elements of your text ARE. For example,
the above short passage can be seen as a quote.
If you see that you need the quote from newsgroup discussion
text element more often, define an own environment for it, so
IF you want to change its look, change it ONCE, in a central
position, and stay away from microformatting.
For example, put this before \begin{document} (in fact, put
it anywhere before use):
\newenvironment{ngquote}{\begin{quote}\tt}{\end{quote}}
You can now use it that way:
\begin{ngquote}
chris\_sm...@holyrose.mass.edu Christopher L. Z. Smith
next paragraph here
and maybe another one
\end{ngquote}
If you wish to also reduce text size, do it in the environment
declaration to make all occurances benefit from it.
Oh, and whenever you encounter special characters that do have a
meaning in LaTeX, and you don't know the correct substitution

This has _many_ advantages since you can keep the source of your document in a high-level structure (SGML, XML., Wiki Markup, txt2tags, etc.) and more easily transform that to any media, including print. My personal preference is SGML and the DocBook structure, because it more easily adapts to our need. I prefer SGML DocBook because XSLT is still (and probably will always be) limited for the kinds of transformation needed to things like LaTex so DSSSL is much more powerful IMHO for that. Besides, the popular Norman Walsh stylesheets are so well though-out for books, that he usually get's it right, and they need very few tweaks to adapt them to your needs. Anyway, the message is that LaTex is an awesome technology for what it is: a typesetting system, not an authoring tool.

My C and assembly is non-existent and I discovered the information below by trial and error and reading the source. My subject header is wrong. The pmbr is working just like it should. It is gptboot that is failing to find my boot loader. I found a work around for the non-configurability of the pmbr/gptboot code. gptboot searchs for the first UFS partition and tries to use that partition as root. In my partition scheme, the first partition was for user data. The presence of boot.config in the first partition will cause gptboot to boot some other disk and partition of your choice. In my case, I added 1:ad(5p8)/boot/loader to boot.config on 0:ad(4p2) to allow my system to boot automatically. Also, some guides online magically select the size of 64k for the freebsd-boot partition. This is not just magic. It's mandatory. The pmbr boot code assume that the partition is not larger than 64k and complains if it is larger. Ref my earlier message on that topic. The bad part about all of this is that I intend to build a mirror from two disks. Will my boot process be brittle because the boot.config is not actually located in / where it truly belongs? If I pull bios disk 0, then when I boot, bios disk 1 will be renumbered to bios disk 0. The boot.config file won't be there. The system will fail to boot. It sure would be nice if 'gpart bootcode' would accept '1:ad(5p8)/boot/loader' as an option so I don't have to be sticking boot.config files in weird locations.

Re: Building amd64 kernel problems (missing kernel configuration files)
I am have a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.0 i386 and need to install an amd64 kernel. I have copied /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC to /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/JERRY Support for cross-building is limited in the FreeBSD base system. /usr/src/Makefile states: # If TARGET=machine (e.g. ia64, sparc64, ...) is specified you can # cross build world for other machine types using the buildworld target, # and once the world is built you can cross build a kernel using the # buildkernel target. but there are unwritten limitations, and this requires some care. See, for example, developers running into problems even with i386 -- amd64: http://bsdimp.blogspot.com/2006/09/cross-building-freebsd.html The fact that you are asking how to do this on the freebsd-questions list probably means that you should _not_ be cross-building. _Don't_ try to run an amd64 kernel with i386 world, or vice versa. With some patches and tweaking you may get a few things to work, but you're asking for trouble. It would be better to get an amd64 installation disk, back up your data, and do a re-installation from scratch, or at least a binary upgrade of the existing base system, and then build a custom kernel and world, if that's what you want to do. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

mingw cross compiler -- cc1 issue

Since /usr/local/mingw32/bin/gcc and /usr/local/bin/mingw32-gcc are hard linked it would seem that the executable code uses the calling name to trace its way to cc1 (/usr/local/libexec/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/cc1) Replace /usr/local/mingw32/bin/gcc with a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/mingw32-gcc and it seems to work. Have I missed something in installing mingw32? Is it not intended that /usr/local/mingw32/bin/gcc should be called? Is there some problem with the port? Or is there some quite different issue?
