Re: Updating source code manually

You shouldn't portupgrade KDE when KDE is running, but you should be able to run `make' to build everything while KDE is running, shut down KDE and `portupgrade -w' afterwards (which will use the binaries built by `make' and install them, taking seriously less time than the original `make') and res

burncd: ioctl(CDIOCSTART): Device busy

hi there, i'm running freebsd 4.10 with a kodak CR-R drive. i can mount CD-ROM's in the drive with no problems, but when i insert a blank CD-R (cdr not cdrw... i checked!!) into the drive and attempt burncd i get the error burncd: ioctl(CDIOCSTART): Device busy i tried "fstat -n | grep acd" but no

Re: burncd: ioctl(CDIOCSTART): Device busy

More of a question, really. Why are you using 'fstat -n'? The -n option would appear to print only device numbers, not device names - therefore grepping for 'acd' will be fruitless, correct?. okay, so fstat | grep cd doesn't reveal anything either. cheers iain ORIGINAL MESSAGE -

Maintaining a Minimal Installation for a Small HDD

hi there, i'm currently running FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE on a Thinkpad 586, with a 1GB HDD and something like 48 MB of ram, with a pentium 133 processor. there is no CD drive, so i installed from floppies via FTP and selected 'minimal' installation, and didn't install any of the ports or src. i now

Re: Maintaining a Minimal Installation for a Small HDD

hi lowell, The recommended path is to do a binary upgrade. 5.4 will be out in a few weeks, and release candidate builds are available now. to what extent does building the sources on my machine affect the resulting binaries? to be more specific: i read the freebsd handbook section on maintaining
