VariCAD and Mathematica...

Steve, Have you looked at the notes in /usr/src/Makefile? Also a thought: since you're dealing with a production machine, would it be easier to build an updated duplicate and migrate information to the new machine? Then you have not left in the cold should something go wrong. You can then duplica

Lute, You will want to invoke the following: make -DWITH_PSPELL install I apologize, but I don't know where this is/might be documented. However, it's a pretty general rule that you can go into any ports directory and look through the Makefile. Scan for "if defined" or "if !defined", etc. In t

Wow. This has been extremely useful to me, too. I have virtually the same setup and problem. If I'm understanding what you [Dr Seaman] are saying, if I analyze the dns packet data, I might be able to determine if my ISP's DNS software is broken? I would like to try this because I have a suspicion

Thanks to the list for such great information. I have installed mta and am currently running it. How to interpret the data correctly is the next step. I'm looking into bind. After this I might look into djbdns. I'm digesting. Thanks again. And this wasn't even my question originally! : ) Alex

Re: release build

When you say, "release build", I'm assuming you mean a kernel and base system. If this is the case, then, yes. It's pretty easy. [1] place your custom configuration in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (or link to it there) [2] read the top part of /usr/src/Makefile [3] you might want to create|configure

Matt, It's unclear from your post whether you mean to find files that *contain* "foo" or files where "foo" is in the filename. Here are the two scenarios acted out. [1] Remove files that contain "foo". cd directory/where/files/reside grep -r -i foo ./* cd'ing into where the files ar

Yes. However, if you have custom kernel configuration files in /usr/src/sys/i368/conf, then save them some place safe if you have not done this already. Then remove with rm -rf /usr/src/* This will leave the /usr/src directory. An alternative is to tar and compress /usr/src with tar czf /tmp/u

I am getting a Sony DSC-F717 digital camera and I'm wondering if there are any software tools under fbsd to get the images off of it via USB? Also, does anyone know if there is similar for reading memory sticks via a USB memory stick reader or whatever they're called? Thanks, Alex To Unsubscri

Chad, I'm not familiar with USB storage devices. I have a USB scanner and printer and that's the extent of my experience with USB under any OS. Could explain in more detail what you do? Then again I'm asking this in part out of time constraints: I haven't looked at mounting a USB device in the man

Chad, Thanks again. That helps. In another post David Kelly suggest gphoto2 in ports/graphics. I looked into this and it does support the DSC-F707. So, perhaps it will work with the F717, too. Also, it supports your camera. I think I will try both approaches and see how they compare. Of course (do

Howdy, folks. I'm wishing, I am, to get an Epson Photo Stylus 1270 working on a USB port. I know the connection is working due to output. However, the output is not what I want. It's garbage. I created a simple printcap entry by cloning an existing entry and changing the parameters appropriately.
