I like having /var and/or /tmp to be separate from /, /usr, /home in

Give / + /usr a 1 or 2 GB for FreeBSD files; allot the rest to other

That regex considers "." a number but not "0.9" (this one seems to
be due to typo) nor a negative number.
I would personally to use egrep or awk (printf "%s" "${arg}" | egrep
"${regex}" [0]) instead of expr.

I cannot say about the tcsh features.
I switched from bash to zsh mainly for excellent vi-mode editing
support, more so over multiple lines. ksh & bash were horrible in
that respect.
Recently I have found that regular expression like [a-d] (instead of
{a,b,c,d}) in file name generation work as expected. zsh has more
ways to help file name generation which I have not looked into yet.
And of course, as stated earlier, compatibility between a bourne
shell script & an interactive shell helps immensely while
developing|debugging a script.

Base system directory sizes for FreeBSD/i386 7 & 8

Could you please let me know the directory sizes for the base system with debug kernel (including old one) for FreeBSD/i386 7 & 8?

Thanks Mel, at least for the confirmation. Since I sent the email,
I have moved out /usr/X11R6 link (effectively deleted). After two

Cleaning up multiplicates in elf ldconfig path
I am on FreeBSD/i386 6.4-STABLE (around Mar 1, 2009). I failed to find a solution to the (cosmetic) problem of ldconfig path having duplicate directories (dmesg output wrapped for this email) ... ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat \ /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib \ /misc/local/lib/compat \ /misc/local/lib/gcc-4.2.4 \ /misc/local/lib/gcc-4.3.3 \ /misc/local/lib/gegl-0.0 \ /misc/local/lib/gnash \ /misc/local/lib/graphviz \ /misc/local/lib/nss \ /misc/local/lib/qt4 \ /misc/local/lib/zsh \ /misc/local/lib/compat /misc/local/lib/gcc-4.2.4 \ /misc/local/lib/gcc-4.3.3 \ /misc/local/lib/gegl-0.0 \ /misc/local/lib/gnash \ /misc/local/lib/graphviz \ /misc/local/lib/nss \ /misc/local/lib/qt4 \ /misc/local/lib/zsh Note that /usr/X11R6 & /usr/local are symbolic links to /misc/local. Is that what is causing the "problem" (since /etc/rc.d/ldconfig reads the default paths of both /usr/X11R6/lib & /usr/local/lib)? If so, is it ok to eliminate the /usr/X11R6 symbolic link? And/Or, is there any other way to remove the multiplicates? I suppose I could stick in /etc/rc.conf this ... ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/package" ... but then I would have make sure above does not miss any new paths added to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

This prints a "createTimestamp:" line on its own block for every 2
consecutive empty lines (in context of the whole program).

Interesting, your description of the solution (sadly not in the
quoted reply) allowed for "createTimestamp" move to
"ahkCreateTimeStamp" line, but implementation above keeps the
"createTimestamp" at its place. So I suppose order does not
matter(?).

And "Junior" positions require near 3 years of Unix or Linux *paid* experience. In my experience, the Unix knowledge & experience gained by using FreeBSD (despite the number of years using it) on a machine connected to Internet -- but not actively taking part in LAN-y things like internal DNS, file- and backup/restore server, heterogeneous computing environment, etc. -- can help only for non-system administration positions. - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you set sappnd flag (via chflags) on a directory, then nobody will be able to delete any pre-existing files (or files created later) in that directory. However, any file in that directory can still be truncated to size of 0. If set the same flag on a file, then that particular file cannot be deleted or truncated, only be appeneded.

I am personally aware of that but do not use it. Besides using /etc/make.conf & OPTIONS, I am just fine with specifying options on the command line mostly because this is the most flexible way of experimenting with options. > It has the advantage that portupgrade will use the contents of > that file when updating to new versions so that your settings are > not lost. > > Make arguments as well as a variety of other options for > installing and updating ports can reside there. That is similar as specifying in /etc/make.conf as listed by someone else (with the added benefit of not having to install anything outside of base system). In any case, neither of /etc/make.conf or portupgrade provide the facility to store the arguments given on command line if one happen to do that instead of updating either of the two files. Note that the command line recording that I am trying to describe is not a substitute[0] to but complementary to various port|package tools (if they are happened to be installed). - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There may be config.status present in $WRKSRC directory (in a port directory, run "make -V WRKSRC" to find the value) if that port's make process generates such a file AND you have not run "make clean" yet. (That also means you have to compile the port yourself.)

I have been using FVWM 2 (-devel version) for quite a while. Tvtwm is the "emergency" wm when/if fvwm upgrade goes berserk or has not been installed yet. The most interesting point is that windows are almost in the same place|state -- given same page layout -- whilst switching between the two. I think vtwm provides for more eye candy than tvtwm.

If ports tree is up do date, "net/iwi-firmware-kmod" port will already
be there. Run of "make fetch" inside that port will place -- without
any extra effort on user's part -- the required file in

Alternatively, wlan*, firmware, NIC drivers can be loaded as modules
by referencing the appropriate bits in /boot/loader.conf without the
need to modify the kernel for just this purpose. I have ...
wlan_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
if_iwi_load="YES"

... as can be any other port directory which you may not need. A
c(v)sup will, however, recreate them unless deleted ports have been
specified in the appropriate "refuse" file.
I really do not care about rest of the post in which procedure for
ports & src update was preceded with a gian heap of fluff. I just
mention that if one is using a version of FreeBSD new enough, for most
purposes cvsup(1) can be replaced with system csup(1).

Here are some of the ways not requiring connection to Internet I
know ...
- running "make -V {LIB,RUN,BUILD}_DEPENDS" in a port directory
also lists the appropriate type of dependency list, so would
running "make pretty-print-{run,build}-depends-list";
- pkg_info(1) w/ -[rR] options lists the dependencies for given
ports|packages;
- ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/INDEX* lists dependencies for each port
(which may need post processing to be human readable);
- sysutils/pkg_tree port creates text tree of the dependencies;
As for FM, see ...
- pkg_info(1) & pkg_tree(7) man pages;

I happen to be currently using Toshiba Satellite A105-40xx (work computer), which cost around $800-900 from Circuit City or Best Buy (US chain stores). After few weeks of usage, the keyboard turns out to be rather crappy. When i type -- my typing speed is around 25 wpm & not much of a touch typist -- the keys (more likely the spring) whine as if they need lubrication & have become rather loose. On another Toshiba Satellite, about a year old (as overheard from a coworker; I used it for 2-3 months), Fn key has become so ridiculously loose it behaves like a loose leaf paper covering a sauce pan. So, be mindful of Tecra's keyboard.

Here, "marked" seems like some sort of place holder for the missing
dependency port. The otherwise non empty "()" contain the port
directory, under ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}, of the dependency port.

When you answered "all", pkgdb prepared to install the port "marked"
but could not parse that name in - format, so the
result was empty string or 'nil' in Ruby, the programming language
of choice for portupgrade tools.

As it is, any line longer than 159 characters will just overflow.
You need to use substr() not awk to shorten a line. Even after that
modification, that won't solve your actual problem as the awk script
will just shorten EACH line (when record separator is newline), not
the whole output.
There are ports which seems to do what you want to do.

Looks like you are using gnu make syntax.
Read make(1) man page. Replace $(VAR) with ${VAR} & see what

All you need to do is replace zsh provided format strings to that of
similar bash escape sequences. For example, zsh '%n' (for
username) corresponds to bash '\u', '%~' to '\w', and so on.
I personally put the color, bold, normal, etc. sequences in a
separate file, which is sourced inside the file setting prompt.
That gives less of gobbledygook to parse. For zsh, i have somewhere
in ~/.zshrc ...
# http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/cf/sh/var/colors
. ~/cf/sh/var/colors
case $TERM in
*xterm* | *rxvt* )
PS1="# ?:%? %j %l ${bold}${yellow_fg}%~${normal}${normal}"
PS1="$PS1 %n.${bold}${cyan_fg}%m${normal}${normal}"

#! "
export PS1
;;
* )
PS1="# %j [EMAIL PROTECTED] %l ${bold}%3~${normal}
# "
export PS1
;;
esac
... similar thing is done for bash prompt.
