Newly developed mailling list search engine needs more testing
Hi, everybody. Firstly, let me introduce myself. I am Choy Kho Yee, an comp. sci. undergraduate student in Osaka University. For my final year project, I have developed a mailing list archive management system called MLwiki. I have sent mails to some of the mailing lists not so long ago, so that more people can help me test out this system. I have been getting supportive answers from the survey about the system. However, I would like to have more responses about the design and implementation of the system, so here I sent this mail again. I hope that you can spare some of your precious time to help me out with this. If it is proved useful to the community, I would perhaps continue to work on it. More information about MLwiki is available on the main page of this system, which is located at MLwiki http://noanoa.ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp/~k-choy/mlwiki-test/mlwiki.php and the survey at The questionnaire http://noanoa.ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp/~k-choy/mlwiki-test/mlwiki_questionaire.html Thanks a lot. --- The original mail that I sent not long ago is as follow --- The name MLwiki is made up from the words Mailing List and Wiki. It was developed to overcome some weaknesses of the existing mailing list archiving and searching system and to combine the power of wiki and the huge amount of information in the mailing list archive. With MLwiki, it is hoped that users can get the information they want faster and easier. More information about MLwiki is available on the main page of this system, which is located at MLwiki http://noanoa.ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp/~k-choy/mlwiki-test/mlwiki.php The questionnaire http://noanoa.ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp/~k-choy/mlwiki-test/mlwiki_questionaire.html Please read the introduction on the main page before testing the system as it provides some vital information to fully utilize MLwiki. After testing out the system, I would be glad if you can help me out by filling in the questionnaire about this system, which can be accessed through the above address or from MLwiki's main page. Please understand that MLwiki is in its early stage of development and therefore there might be many bugs hidden in it. Bugs reports are welcome. And please remember that this system is still in an experimental stage, all changes you submit might be lost in the future release. But do feel free to test around. This website will be available until 10 February 2006. Accessibility after that will be re-considered depends on the response and the condition of the system.

japanese fonts problem with java plugin in firefox?
Hi, I start firefox with the environment variable LANG set to ja_JP.eucJP to enable japanese input with kinput2, like this: $ LANG=ja_JP.eucJP JSERVER=localhost [EMAIL PROTECTED] firefox But when I go to a site with java applets, the messages in the dialog windows created by the java plugin are encrypted and I can't read them. I think this is the font problem and I may correct it by editting jre/lib/font.properties.ja but I don't know how. (Would somebody show me how can I do this?) Since I don't mind to have java showing english messages, is it possible to set the locale of the java plugin to something else(POSIX) while keeping the LANG environment variable to ja_JP.eucJP for firefox?

mounting floppy drive
I found something funny regarding mounting floppy drive by normal user. I set up everything needed for a normal user to mount a FDD according to the handbook. I booted up the box, type mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 ~/floppy and it said I dont have the permission. Then, I su and do that again. Then umount the drive. Exit from su to return to a normal user.

MacOS X does both NFS and Samba out of the box. Either of which would be a better choice. NFS is native to both platforms and probably the quickest to set up, but you'll have to synchronise UID and GID numbers between server and client for the user accounts that use it. Samba requires your installing some 3rd party software on the FreeBSD side, and working out how you're going to authenticate one to the other. Cheers, Matthew Thanks for your advice. I have tried NFS but I am learning about IPFW on the FreeBSD box, and I heard that it is hard to properly configure IPFW to let through NFS packets, so I was thinking to switch to netatalk. I haven't tried Samba, though. Anyway, I just successfully setup netatalk to serve files to my iBook G4(Yes it is Mac OS X :D). I think I will stay with netatalk for a while.

Hello, I am using FreeBSD 5.3BETA5. I haven't do anything to the kernel or anything system-related. I installed firefox 0.9.3. It takes more than 10 seconds to load mozilla's homepage. Of course other accessing to other sites gave the same results. Then, to compare, I installed opera 7.54 and it loads pages in less than 2 seconds. However, firefox is my favourite browser. So, is there any way that I can know what is wrong? Does firefox keeps some logs when it connects? Or has anyone else experience the same problem? btw, I installed softwares from the ports collection. Thanks. --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Is there something wrong with refuse.README?
Hi, I am using the latest FreeBSD 5.3BETA5. I was configuring cvsup's various supfiles and refuse file and found something strange with /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse.README. It stated in the README file that You can copy refuse to your sup directory and add or remove whatever you like. The example supfiles in this directory set CVSup's base directory to /usrblah blah blah However, when I looked into ports-supfile and standard-supfile, both define these lines in them: *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr Now, which one is correct? Is this a bug? If this is, somebody please tell the maintainer as I am not familiar with this. Thanks. --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
correct routine of updating installed ports?
Just want to confirm if this is the correct routine to update the installed ports. # cvsup -g -L 2 supfile # portsdb -uU # pkgdb -F # port_version # portupgrade -a And what does make index actually do? Do I need it? Thanks for any input. --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The best release to install now?
I would like to install freeBSD on a machine which only has WinXP resides in it now. I need to set it up to do some work. And I think there are 2 choices for me now, which are 5.2.1 or 5.3-BETA5. Although I would like to keep up-to-date with the OS but still I want a reasonably stable system on which most ports installs without many problems. And I would like to be able to upgrade to 5.3-STABLE when it is ready some point in the future without much struggles. I don't mind to recompile all the ports, though. So, what are your suggestions? Thanks for any input. --- Choy Kho Yee There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You wouldn't run DOS on a SGI Ony4 would you? It's just cool, that's all. Although OS/X is built around the FreeBSD Kernel, the coolest part about this project is that it could possible make FreeBSD the *only* alternative operating system that can be run on Macintosh architecture. As far as I know. Well apparently there is a version of NetBSD. No, not the only non-OSX OS that runs on Mac hardware... there is atleast one linux distro aimed at it mainly or something like that... yellowdog or something like that... AFAIK, the linux distros that run on mac are Yellow Dog, Debian, Gentoo and Mandrake. --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 5.2.1 hangs solved and now find a way to split the ntfs hard drive.

According to freebsd docs I am out of lock for now, unless to use comercial programs. If any one know of any other way i'll be glad to hear from them. I heard that some linux live-cds have the utility to resize NTFS partitions on them. I can't provide further information as I have never used them before. Perhaps you could check them out. --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
