Java Install Continually Failing

Hi Guys, I've had unsuccessful Java installs on 4.8 and 5.1 so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've downloaded the correct packages from the Java site and put them in the /usr/ports/distfiles so this is not where the install fails. It appears to give the following message: Linging vm...

SIngle User Mode Help

Hey Guys, I'm constantly botching up my fstab file and the system will fail to boot correctly. I've learned to create a working fstab and call is fstab.orig which I can overwrite the botched file if I end up in Single User Mode... I can't find any info on Single User Mode to help me: - I use

RE: SIngle User Mode Help

Thanks for the many posts guys. I understand the concept of mounting the /usr partition. Actually, the mount -a worked even though the fstab was mucked up. I didn't realize that single user mode doesn't mount the slices by default... but it all makes sense now. Thanks Joe -Original

Re: CVS Update
