sysctl kern.cp_time: calculating output
Hi all, I have a question regarding the output from sysctl kern.cp_time. I know that the output is in the form of: user nice sys interrupt idle and that the numbers are incremental, but what I don't know is what these numbers and increments mean. If someone could explain this, it is greatly appreciated.

Re: Can i make a CD of the Ports Collection
Yes, this could be done. First, create an ISO image of the directory with `mkisofs' (included in /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools): mkisofs -A ports -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot -f -no-cache-inodes -D -l -J -o ports.iso -p peter -R -V ports /usr/ports Note: this will produce a non-standards compliant ISO image, but it will be able to be read on both MS Windows and FreeBSD. Then, burn the image to CD using `burncd' (included in /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools): burncd -f /dev/acd0 -v -s your_drive_speed data ports.iso fixate When it's time to install, remove everything in `/usr/ports' (rm -r /usr/ports/*) and copy the burned data across. And, to finish it of, CVSup the ports afterwards. - Russell On Wed, Aug 04, 2004 at 11:16:44AM +0800, Peter Ryan wrote: I am very new, and have been reinstalling FreeBSD many times to clean up whatever mess i make and start again. I recently used cvsup to update my ports collection for the 4.10_RELEASE. Now, when I reinstall, it takes much longer because i bring in the updated ports collection rather than the ports collection on the install CD (which i burnt from an ISO file) Is there some way to burn a cd (for me that means under winXP) containing the latest ports collection so that I dont have to download it each time. Or is there a better way of installing with the latest ports collection. Are the ISO images updated with a new ports collection very frequently ?
