I currently dual boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2.1. I have files that are common to
both (MP3's and some documents). Is there a way to create a partition that can be
read by both that would eliminate this double copy problem?
I thought creating a separate partition woudl work but Windows XP al
I am setting up a new computer and the motherboard I am using has integrated audio.

P4P800-E with a P4 2.4 GHz. If i boot with ACPI it gets to the point where it says
"Writing partition information to drive ..." and just hangs no messages or anything.

I have a Windows XP installation on the first 20 GB of my harddrive

the entire disk. Is there an easy way to do that without formatting
the entire hard drive. I've updated the system to 5-STABLE and have

I have the 5.3-RELEASE CD which I have used to install 5.3 on a laptop
I have. I would like to add packages/ports now but have a slight
issue. The laptop doesn't have internet access. Nor is there any

both packages and ports on t
I'm looking for an easy way to obtain all the packages/port distfiles
at once and then put them on a cd so I can do that. I would like to
be able to do it without having to manually fetch all the dependancies
as well.
