Hi Annelise,
It seems you are running mergemaster with a new kernel but with the old
make(1) binary across a major release update. Since part of the update
process spawned by mergemaster depends on `make' and the `/usr/share/mk'
files, you have to installworld before you can use the new megemaster
script.
The pre-buildworld mode of mergemaster (`mergemaster -p') should run
fine even with an old userland and old `/usr/share/mk' files. But you
should install everything before you run a full mergemaster update of
all files in `/etc'.
Right you are. Thanks. Now I understand what I was reading in UPDATING.
Annelise

For example: A slideshow format needs sort of a linear argumentation like this: (1)-->(2)-->(3)-->(4)--> ... HTML permits multiple lines of argumentation and crossreferences like this _->(2a)-->(3a)-->(4a)--> ... / (1)--->(2b)-->(3b)-->(4b)--> ... \ / --->(3c)-- A slideshow is a one-way communication from you to your readers, HTML as for example used in a wiki allows interaction with your readers (comments, own contributions,...) Thus it might not at all be possible to convert HTML to a slide show. You will have to decide which kind of medium fits your content best. > > tHat said: how can I experiement with translating my html into > slideshow format?

Re: Modern FreeBSD Installer?
the number of possible partitions per slice is higher. I'd really wish FreeBSD's bsdlabel(8) would allow for more partitions. The problem here is not with sysinstall though. From bsdlabel(8): that's isn't supported by sysinstall but you can partition a partition. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Ah, gpart(8), good hint! Not yet familiar with that.
Apparently, it's already in 7.x. I have no spare disk right now to
give it a try. Would it already support 8+ partitions on RELENG_7,
or do we have to wait for 8.0?

Yes, this is a long standing problem. On one or both of {Open,Net}BSD,
the number of possible partitions per slice is higher. I'd really wish
FreeBSD's bsdlabel(8) would allow for more partitions. The problem
here is not with sysinstall though. From bsdlabel(8):
The partition table can have up to 8 entries. It contains the following
information:
# The partition identifier is a single letter in the range `a' to
`h'. By convention, partition `c' is reserved to describe the
entire disk.
Take away 'b' for swap, and 'c' for the whole disk, you can only
use 6 partitions per slice (including the root partition) on the
bootable slice. That's clearly not enough, esp. on big disks, and
with complex setups. :-(

Firefox3 and dependencies on firefox2,libxul,xulrunner
Hi, I uninstalled firefox 2, installed firefox 3 and use it. Later, portupgrade of librsvg2 began to build firefox 2 (I aborted it with ^C). Then I specified "graphics/librsvg2" => "WITH_GECKO=xulrunner", in MAKE_ARGS in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf . Now I'm trying to portupgrade mplayer-plugin, it also tried to build firefox 2. I tried "www/mplayer-plugin" => "WITH_GECKO=xulrunner", but that gave an error message (xulrunner isn't an option). So, I tried "www/mplayer-plugin" => "WITH_GECKO=libxul", then: > ===> libxul-1.9.0.7_3 conflicts with installed package(s): > xulrunner-1.8.0.4_15 > > They install files into the same place. > Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).

Maybe you can get Redmond to give you the source code of their... erm... stuff, so you can see how to interact with it. :-) I would suggest to use a standardized application, such as M2 of Opera or Mozilla Thunderbird, or Sylpheed-Claws, or pine, or mutt... there are many, and some of them are even available in "Windows". Because they're using standard mbox files for the mail messages, syncing them is quite easy, because it can automatically be done on a per-file basis. Another advantage of sticking to standards is that you can instruct different mail applications to use the same mbox files for their operations, in "mixed mode", e. g. use Opera's M2 today, Thunderbird tomorrow, and Sylpheed-Claws at the weekend. > Like if I send a mail over > webmail, that sent mail will also go into the sent box in outlook express, I can't imagine how this should be possible.

Under certain circumstances, it looks like a job for an IMAP solution. Note that most of the things you've mentioned are possible with standard UNIX mail applications, because many stuff can be done on a per-file basis. Regarding the part of a web interface, I'm sure there are free webmailers that you can run on your server.

To get rid of the many limitations in the MS-DOS file system, tar is really the best solution.

You can transfer the tar archives (and add compression if needed) between different operating systems using FTP or any "Internet means" as well as via optical media, even the use of floppy disks (if you still know them) is possible.

Have you already tried mounting FreeBSD partitions with OpenBSD or vice versa? Of course, it's possible to transfer data via FTP, rsync or scp between machines.

BurnCd--Kernel Panic
I'm using an Intel DG33BU board with a SATA HD and SATA optical drives. Using FreeBSD 7.1 AMD64 I get a kernel panic and subsequent file system corruption when attempting to burn a cd using the burncd utility. I can avoid this easily enough by using cdrecord and growisofs which work as they should. I wanted to alert others using the same or similar boards. If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to know why this happens. Is there a planned update to the burncd software or how it addresses the system that might remedy this in future releases? --David ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Modern FreeBSD Installer?
The partitioner will allow you to create more partitions than the FreeBSD partition table will allow. Rather than giving it the name of a special file in the /dev/directory, it will name it just "X". You can create as many partitions named "X" as you like. Then the newfs will fail. I experienced this the other day, and have been meaning to file a bug report about it.

Re: freebsd-update on FreeBSD 6.x
Quoting Manolis Kiagias : A quick visit to http://update.freebsd.org does not show this directory - although this maybe intentional. I suggest you try the server change and if you connect but still fail to get the key, then go on and hack the script. I don't have a 6.1 machine around, but freebsd-update is just a sh script and you should be able to find what's going on. There is nothing hardcoded in it, at least in the version distributed with 7.x. In fact I would try running the 7.x version on this system. Hi Manolis, thanks for the reply! I have simply copied over the freebsd-update script from a 7.0 machine and it seems to work fine just as on the 7.0 machine. I have run a fetch without making any changes to the conf file, I haven't applied the updates as yet as its a production server and I'll need to schedule down time and work out a fall back plan if anything goes bad when doing an install. Thanks again!

The label editor will not allow me to create any partitions other than the standard ones, as it keeps asking for mount points. You can select "Exit this menu (returning to previous one)" (I think cancel too) in the distributions list without making any selection at all, and it still goes on and install (what?). Pressing CTRL+C at most parts of sysinstall will give you a menu to abort or restart the installation program. On restart, most of the times it will fail creating (slices or partitions) or formating filesystems. These are just a few problems I remember now. Granted, if you do always follow the same ritual (as I do mostly) it works and I can simply ignore it, but others hate it... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Exactly, that would be my point, too: FIRST do the interaction, do ALL the interaction and do it "in one chunk". THEN start installing everything that's needed by the choices done. This would include additional packages required by certain services. As an addition, I could imagine a combination of the linear and the hierarchical settings access method.
