If so, which one(s), config.h.in, configure, configure.ac or one of the files in the config directory of this package? This is probably a very simple matter, but I have googled around and cannot find an answer. Any comments, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lawrence JACK README Welcome to JACK, the Jack Audio Connection Kit. Please see the website (http://jackit.sf.net/) for more information. NOTE: If you are using reiserfs or ext3fs or anything except ext2fs for the directory where JACK puts its temporary files (/tmp by default), then the JACK team recommends that you do *one* of the following: Mount a tmpfs on /tmp. You should have a lot of swap space available in case some programs try to write very large files there. In your /etc/fstab add a line: none/tmptmpfs defaults0 0 You'll probably want to reboot here, or kill X then 'mount /tmp'. OR Alternatively, you can do this without affecting your /tmp: # mkdir /mnt/ramfs [edit /etc/fstab and add the following line] none /mnt/ramfs tmpfs defaults 0 0 Then add --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs to the JACK configure line when you build it. No clients need to be recompiled. -- Failure to do one of these could lead to extremely poor performance from JACK, since its normal operation will cause bursts of disk I/O that are completely unnecessary.

Yeah... see the issue is, FreeBSD refers to itself as the first slice in order to find itself... so you can backup to the second slice, but if you need to use it, you'll have to copy the second slice over the first one.

Autodesk haven't supported any other platform since Release 13, which was about 10 years ago. I set up something like this years ago, using an HI DMP-61 with FreeBSD 3.2 or 3.3. What I did was to install Samba on the FreeBSD machine, and set it up to 'share' the plotter (connected on an RS232 port) as a printer. Then the Windows clients were able to see the plotter as a networked printer, and use the native AutoCAD driver for that plotter. The FreeBSD machine was pretty much acting as a print server for that plotter. Sorry to be so vague, but it was a long time ago.

Re: SATA Cables Suck!
Hrm. SATA cables suck. I just got a new macbook - its power connector
sucks itself right into the socket when it's close to it. If SATA
cables sucked, this wouldn't be an issue.

what can we do with the old cables to fix them... super glue them

I've never seen a definitive answer to this question and newegg.com
does not sells SATA-II cables... Also does the spec call for
shielded cables?
frustrated, need a place to unload thanks.
First google hit SATA-II cable specification:

I've done business with Tiger Direct. They were prompt for delivery.
Searching for things on their site was annoying, though.
Adding site:newegg to the search gives:

Already looked at the Silverstone cables a few days ago, too many bad
reviews about the cables snapping in two. Do you have any of these

Not necessarily. Both of my current DVD players can play a DVD full of MP3 files. You bring up a good point, but that's not part of the DVD standard. One is a Pioneer, and the other is a more 'random' brand DVD/DiVX player. The Pioneer does a better job, but both will play data discs of MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG1 amongst other things. Another possibility would be to convert to MP2 audio and make a minimal video stream to go alongside the audio - say, a black screen, and make a DVD Video disk using something like transcode. The blank video would waste lots of space on the DVD, I think. I don't know what the bare minimum video bitrate is for DVD, but I know you can get a good few hours that way, in a format that would play on any DVD player. I've been meaning to try this for ages.

Yes. It's safe to do that with any OS I'm familiar with. And the keyboard mouse too. The keyboard and mouse are NOT supposed to be hot plugged if they are PS/2 (although I must admit I haven't had any issues, but I wouldn't risk a dead PS/2 controller on a production box). USB ones don't care. The neat thing about that is you can have your machine boot with no keyboard, you can plug in a USB one and then hook up a monitor and have a head all of a sudden. This is handy when your box's sshd dies for some reason, which has happened to me once... I've never had any issues, provided I set the option to NOT halt on keyboard errors at boot in the bios.
