I have a ASUS laptop that came with Windows 7. I finally ended up with XP on one partition and Ubuntu on the other. ASUS only supports the Windows 7 OS with this particular architect. I want to keep XP on one partition and put FreeBSD on the other partition ( I already have created). The problem is that the files I see for installation are ISO files for booting. I don't have audio in XP but it worked in Ubuntu. I was told by an authorized ASUS dealer that I would not find any support from them because of switching from the pre-installed Windows 7. I cannot update the drivers in the BIOS to tell my laptop to boot from DVD/CD. How can I get FreeBSD on my other partition and have a dual OS system without the boot installation? I cannot afford to buy FreeBSD.

I can just encourage ANYONE who wants easy printing, be it at home or in the office, to STAY AWAY from USB printers. Networking printers give you much more flexibility and advantages, and even if their price tag is different from what you might know from the consumer crap shelf in the local store, they are worth their money. Using HP printers myself, I was always lucky chosing those that can be used via network. I may also repeat one of my older statements: If you don't mind using USED hardware, get used OFFICE printers for cheap. They are still good and in most cases FULLY sufficient for home use. I'm using a HLP Laserjet 4000 duplex myself here at home for some years now, and it works PERFECTLY since first try - an experience NOT common to modern printers. This is especially true regarding printer management, since the net-enabled printers have an embedded web server. They often do also have a built-in printer queue, so basically you're querying the PRINTER with the lp* commands - in most cases very efficient. They also support management and monitoring via SNMP, which is very helpful.

It appears that knotes on my system just magically is translucent, probably because it is a dock window, but you can set this more specifically for knotes by setting window specific settings for the window class knotes. Hope this helps, I just found a software called gDesklets which I think is wonderful. you can find it in http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/categories.php?func=gd_show_appgd_app_id =191 it is a WeeklyCalendar. almost fulfill my demand Ah, if you are after something like gdesklets, kde seems to have SuperKaramba (ports deskutils/superkaramba) which embeds scripts into the desktop in almost the same way. Not sure if you are still looking for something different or if you are satisfied with what you have now, Eric hi, what are the main differences/pros/cons between gdesklets and superkaramba please ? m. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should decide after what of both you are running, because loading the gtk-stuff on KDE will take more ressources (and vice versa). But in fact you have to decide if it's a problem.

How can I cut and paste from xterm _into_ another program ? (NOTE - I am not an IDIOT)
couldn't see if you got an answer to this but I just found out that you can do it (in fedora/xfce anyway) You select text you want to copy in xterm, move focus to where you want to paste it and then press mouse button 5 on my logitech mouse, so just press all mouse buttons on your mouse, one will probably/possibly (at a guess) paste text. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is a feature of the graphical environment (X windows), not the
operating system or, AFAIK, the window manager.
You select text you want to copy in xterm, move focus to where you
want to paste it and then press mouse button 5 on my logitech
mouse, so just press all mouse buttons on your mouse, one will
probably/possibly (at a guess) paste text.
The traditional binding is 'Mouse 3', which often is the scroll
wheel or both left and right buttons pressed simultaneously. This
may differ depending on the mouse.

Re: serious note(s) [WAS: Linux move to FreeBSD]
hello, On a more serious note, am I the only one who has been getting hiccups of freebsd-questions mail from last year? I just got a bunch of traffic (including one of the previous incarnations of this abysmal Beastie logo non-debate) from late December, all posts that I had seen before. Thanks for your note. No, you're not the only one. As I have occasionally re-read (other) stuff by mistake, I made a point of noting the Dec 2004 dates too. I wondered if Kmail, shawmail, or some other as-yet-unnamed network glitch caused the hiccups. And then, within a day or so, the list digest feed(s) seemed to dry up for a day and half. I'm used to scanning two or three freebsd-questions' digests/day, and noticed I suddenly had all this extra time. :c) The digests resumed again overnight [two dated 'Today' at 3:35 5:00 am, if anyone's interested], but the volume of traffic still seems severely reduced. I hope this info is of some use. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Per the numbers returned by pciconf, this is a 82559 rev 0x8, which is in the table of supported devices. According to the code, however, if the device claims to be 10Mb only, then it isn't even handed to the miibus code to configure. I'm still working my way through the code to determine if the 10Mb-ness is being reported by the devices directly, or if this is the code's interpretation based on other data requested. The two additional 82559 rev 0x8s (on the plug-in PCI card) are correctly being passed to the miibus, and this is annoying. Thanks for your time in this, anyway.
