The situation here, I hate to say, is that you were simply very lucky in having a software memory tester show you anything at all. If your experience had been more typical, you would have run memtest86 and it would have declared your memory to be free of errors. Then you'd have gone right on

Which leads to my potentially ignorant question: Where is FreeBSD w/regards to running on the Itanium (or other 64bit chips)? Waiting for somebody at Intel to give us either hardware or simulator time. Without either of those things, "working on" Itanium support is a pretty pointless

It's something we've been considering. :) Hi, I was thinking (I know, I know, I shouldn't do that, it's bad for me ;)... Since we now have 3000+ ports, what are the chances of getting a special "FreeBSD Ports Distfiles" CD-ROM subscription set, which would just contain the distfiles?

I'm planning to work on enhancing pkg_install tools following after NetBSD's effort. Seems they've been making some remarkable improvements over FreeBSD's original work since 1997. For example: As the author of these tools, I would welcome those sorts of enhancements. - Jordan To

I would *strongly* suggest to put rsh/rlogin + tar onto the root filesystem. I allways found these commands to be *extremely* useful in single user mode with all other partitions unmounted (e.g. when reorganizing the structure of my partitions/disks etc.) How about it? I doubt it. :-) -

1)Are BSD drivers not really documented?(I fear that I may not end up re-inventing the wheel) I assume that by "drivers" you mean "device drivers" in this context, e.g. our code for supporting various network interface cards, SCSI controllers, etc. They are documented in the sense that there

Why was it removed? If there are no good reasons, please could somebody put back rsh onto the floppy! Currently I don't see how to do cloning easily without rsh? The fixit floppy is very full and its days as a truly useful tool are sort of numbered. By the way: How about putting the boot +

I think the solution here is to change the release mechanism slightly. I believe we made a huge mistake splitting of the 4.x tree from 3.x so early. I was going to make a point about this, but thank you for making it for me. :-) My point was going to be that it was clearly not

In otherwords, we should branch with the 4.1 release rather then the 4.0 release. Sounds a lot like 3.x to me. We didn't branch at 3.0 either, we branched one release afterwards and only after people threatened to mutiny if we didn't since the usual pattern up to that point had been
