What about gzipping .symbol files by default? It decreases symbol files size in about 50-60%, so i386 GENERIC kernel directory shrinks from 125m to 74m... I like this idea. The root is usaly small.

Hi, People,
I had to switch from a ADSL to a dial-up connection and I had to change
the settings on my FreeBSD 4.10 box.
After reading The Handbook, I had sucessfully connected to the ISP, but
there are times that the ppp does not work correctly:
- cvsup'ping hangs during the middle of an update,
- fetch'es during a make install ports also hangs
I have configured /etc/ppp/{ppp.config,ppp.linkup}, and set /etc/.conf:
ppp_enable=YES
ppp_profile=provider
Does anyone have any idea of what is going on?
Probably your link to ISP just drops.
Consider using pppd, it has an ability to reconnect to ISP.
If the link is dropped and then automaticaly dropped then the fetches
still stop halfway. You can set the fetch command to continue by
fetching this manualy with 'cd /usr/ports/distfiles/; fetch -r file', or
but i'm not sure about this, alias fetch fetch -r before you're make
command.

Re: Large memory issues on 4-STABLE
On Sat, Sep 13, 2003 at 03:48:21AM -0700, David G. Lawrence wrote: David Lawrence said: Sorry, due to design issues, it isn't possible to have virtual sizes larger than about 3GB on FreeBSD. This is because the kernel is mapped in the upper part of the virtual address space. Of course you can use all of your 4GB of RAM - just not all of it at the same time in one process. OK, fair enough. Is this going to be any different in FreeBSD with PAE (Intel's scheme for 32bit stuff using 4GB RAM)? No, this has nothing to do with the size of physical memory. It is a limit on the size of a process's virtual address space. Should I try 5.1? Or isn't 4.9 going to have PAE support anyway? All versions of FreeBSD have this limitation. Given what David says though, why do I have a problem with MySQL getting thread errors with MAXDSIZ 2048 or greater? Why does tcsh's limit report datasize unlimited when MAXDSIZ is over 2048? Probably a signed arithmetic problem. 2048MB is 2^31 bits, which is the largest number that can be represented in a 32 bit signed int. Sorry but 2^31 is the lowest number availible in a 32 bit signed int and 2^31-1 is the largest number. The 32th bit indicates the number is negitive. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
