I have all my vbox vdi files on an ntfs drive and I'm yet to have a problem with it. Well, I used to have an external NTFS hard drive. I used fusefs-ntfs and I could write in the drive. But there were times where the machine crashed and I couldn't even get a core dump. It also stoped durong the core dump and freezed... So I couldn't even place a PR for that...

Re: how do i automate building packages?

I thought I had something in /etc/make.conf, but nope. My build of OOo [311] recently finished on my new to-be server. Since both the new Dell and this older Dell are running 7.2, I figure I can do any builds and move the packages across. I thought I had seen foo.tgz in /usr/ports/bar/foo/; but this time, no expected tarball. --??-- A man ports isn't very clear. I usually type make install clean when I build anything. If I have to start over from scratch with openoffice would I type # make install package clean? Or what? anybody? If you need packages one possibility is # pkg_info -Ea | xargs -L1 pkg_create -b This will build a package of every installed port. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAksS3OAACgkQlOPmvEv31gZLcQCfTYu1X9jvr6CxgrmwgrMmavnA 36UAniyHgOkTgc5eqoyi0adt91b2FcZE =K+9t -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ 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
