5.2.1-R == CURRENT????

Surely not? I was advised that a problem I'm experiencing is fixed in -current. I just updated my source tree to -current with ''cvs co src/'' but no files have been updated :-/ Here's what I'm currently running (the tree is a few days older than the kernel build date): FreeBSD redshift

XFree86-3.3.6 on FreeBSD-4.9 ?

Can I use XFree86-3.3.6 server on FreeBSD-4.9 ? the long story I installed FreeBSD-4.5 on my old 486 VLB computer and x-windows worked fine. This is a sweet old computer, I like to call it the fastest 486 in the west; with a 5x86 processor @ 150Mhz and a 50Mhz VLB bus and parity ram, it is a

Why does `df` lie about free space

That's an old problem, but yesterday I was working with 1.4G UFS2-slice reported by `df` to have 400kb of free space. Alternative calculations (e.g. writing a random file until kernel says no inode's free) give a result of more that 100M (!) unused. Thats about 7% of the whole size! So
