The current patch level (as indicated by the -p number reported by uname -r) is obtained from this file. Rebuilding your custom kernel, even if nothing else changed, will allow uname(1) to accurately report the current patch level of the system. From this I conclude that if I rebuild the kernel (the general kernel, not a custom kernel), it should reflect patch level correctly. Yes. This raises another question: are the updates made sequentially, as p1, p2, etc.? This would explain why the kernel stayed at p3 level while the system was updated to p4. Yes. I Suppose if the update was done in one step after fetching and applying all update patches the kernel should reflect the system's patch level. Is this correct? Well, it 'should', but it does not, since freebsd-update does not work that way. p4 did not require rebuilding the kernel, so it had not been done. I am confused a little bit.

Furthermore, there's lots of stuff now bundled with the Opera web browser that I (personally) found no use for, such as a mail client, IRC client, torrent client, and some other stuff that could easily be called bloatware. I never get the argument about 'bloatware' when it comes to Opera. Yes, there are options not that not everyone needs, but then again, most of the time they do not get loaded / appear in the menu when not used. Also take a look at the size of the installers: Opera 9.64/Windows: Classic Installer, English (US) 4.8 MB English (US) 5.4 MB International 7.2 MB Opera 9.64/FreeBSD 7.x (Static) 7.0 MB Win32 Binaries: midori Win32 v0.1.8 12.9 MB Firefox English (British) 3.5.1 win32 7.6MB Firefox English (British) 3.5.1 linux 9.3MB And there are a lot of features in Opera, for which you will need to download extra extensions in Firefox. But maybe that's only my problem (due to my ancient computer and OS). For me, Opera works much better on older hardware than Firefox. Try Opera. Maybe it works for you. Anyway, in the end everyone should use what he likes best. :) Andreas -- GnuPG key : 0x2A573565|http://www.gnupg.org/howtos/de/ Fingerprint: 925D 2089 0BF9 8DE5 9166 33BB F0FD CD37 2A57 3565 pgpUOJVzFTZ7Q.pgp Description: PGP signature

But normal TCP connections to other peers would time out, hanging during/after the handshake. The connections seemed to be established though. A Vuze developer told me, that transfers via UDP and TCP are using different sets of native java APIs. TCP is non-blocking IO, so there could be a problem in the FreeBSD Java code.

The live streams from http://www.wzbc.com send me PLS files, which I understand to be WinAmp playlist files. Is there a FreeBSD app that can play this streaming format? I installed XMMS, but I'm not really sure if there is a plugin for these files. PLS-files are usually only normal text files containing a playlist of music files or URLs to media streams. All you need to do is open the PLS-file and write down the URL. mplayer, vlc or xmms should all be able to play the music stream.

Re: System time suddenly changed after reboot.

After many years of using FreeBSD, and as many reboots or more, I had occasion to reboot today, and a few hours later discovered to my horror that the system time had suddenly been moved ahead to the year 2020! I did the best I could with the resulting mess, but I am curious if anyone else has seen this, or what would cause it. This is the same hardware I have been running for a couple of years now, and I haven't changed anything in the bios or system. Thanks, Scott Just an idea, but maybe the BIOS battery ran out of power and needs to be replaced.

I know. They are not specific to a single release. You can just copy over the distfiles from the older notebook and rebuild your ports. That's not true. I copied over the /usr/ports/distfiles from my 5.4-REL to the 6.0-REL but the ports-collection which comes with 6.0-REL will use other sources while doing 'make install' in /usr/ports/x11/kde: Well, since 6.0 came out much after 5.4, it uses updated ports/ packages (new features, bugfixes), so the versions of some ports of 6.0 will be higher than of 5.4. What is the point in installing a new release of FreeBSD and using 'old' ports. Just install FreeBSD 6.0 and use the packages provided with the RELEASE, or cvsup your ports tree and do a fresh install of the ports you need.
