Hello,
My employer is going to replace my aging laptop soon. We've always used Macs at
work but I'd kinda like to get back to FreeBSD. His criteria are Windows 8 and
a touch screen, mine is decent FreeBSD support.

I've googled this, but only manage to come up with the same question, never an

Hello,
Anyone got any idea how I can access the built-in sd card reader on my dell

Any more ideas?

Hello,
I'm running KDE 3.1.4 under FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT. I want to upgrade to KDE
3.2.1, and I've tried this a number of ways, using the ports system: I've
tried using 'portupgrade kde' and also in smaller chunks like 'portupgrade
kdelibs' and 'portupgrade kdebase', and I've tried doing

Hello,
I'm on a free dial-up (crap but cheap, as the Levellers used to say) and the
connection drops quite often. As a result I often get left with bits of files
half downloaded. Abou half the time I can pick them up using -rR without any
problems, and the rest of the time I get a "local modifi

Hello,
I just recently read somewhere of a file where I can put make parameters for
any programs, so that, for instance, I don't have to remember to add
WITH_MOTIF="YES" every time I build kdebase...
...but I've forgotten what it is, or where I read about it. Anyone know?

Hello,
I've been having some trouble with current - kernel panics that I'm not really
equipped to deal with - so I'm thinking of moving to RELENG_5_2. I think I'll
have to get rid of the libc_r / libpthread stuff in /etc/libmap.conf, is that
true? What else will I have to do?
Thanks,
Ben

Hello,
I want to submit information about a kernel panic which happens at boot time.
The machine reboots and I can boot kernel.old: where do I find the logs and
traces and things I might need to show to someone who knows what they're
doing?
Cheers,
Ben
