what's the priority on building 5.1 packages?
Hello all, Maybe this is not the best list to post this question, but it won't hurt. I've been compiling everything from source for lack of options, and was just wondering what should be the policy for 5.1 package-feeding, since the upgrade process has been described as very unstable at the present time.

link_relative option for nfs
Hello, Is there something like the Linux link_relative option for FreeBSD nfs servers? it'd be an exports option, but it is not cited on the exports man page.

fsck error messages don't get logged?
Hello all, I just had a crash, and upon reboot fsck displayed these gnarly errors that went by too quick for me to read, my different display lines settings loading on the console making it worse. So I thought, allright, just dmesg. Nothing about the errors there. /var/log/messages? nothing either. Don't these messages get logged anywhere? This is all I get.. (..)

Re: newbie: to pipe the result of a program as commandlineparameter for another.
You can use:
find [whatever] -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
or
find [whatever] | xargs rm -rf
Usually, the answer to your question would be: use xargs or put the
second command between apostrophes. Something like:
vi `which mozilla`
I think if you use rm -rf `find [whatever]` it might work..
DON'T use these lines unless you're absolutely sure your find will
return exactly what you want.. rm -rf is the most destructive Unix
command, so if you don't know what you're doing, maybe you should wait a
couple of months until you do. :)
Read the man pages for rm, find and xargs so you can understand this.
Best,

I don't know what you mean by works/doesn't work. Could you elaborate a little here? Well, I'm used to redhat bash, and even though this is bash, on redhat ls x* -d is good syntax; on freebsd it isn't.

Re: grub
This is the config: root (hd1,3,a) kernel /boot/loader I'm running release 5.1. Is there something other to do ?? Thanks for your help. mess-mate Grub does not support UFS2 currently. The solution is to use UFS1 for the root partition, then everything works fine. IIRC to achive you have to select Custom Options while creating the partitions and replace -02 with -01.
