Re: Two questions

I am trying to configure Freebsd so that I can access it from my host PC, which is Windows 7. Yesterday the technician told me to configure bridging in VMware when I created the virtual Freebsd server. This worked fine, but I'm wondering if there is a way to configure this outside of VMware. I tried this on a Freebsd v8.2: ifconfig bridge create ifconfig bridge0 addm em0 addm em1 up #interface names are em0 and em1 But it did not work. I assigned an IP address to em0 but could not access it from my Windows 7 host, although I could ping that address from the virtual server (TCP/IP stack was working). Is there something else I need to do to get this to work? My second question is that this command is not in an older version of Freebsd that I am using, v4.11. Do you have other commands to create a bridged interface on this version?

Installing fonts in ~/.fonts makes them available for all the programs
that use fontconfig after you run:
fc-cache -v
TeX and a few other applications (e.g. groff) have their own way of
handling fonts. You may have to install them using a TeX-specific set
of commands. Newer TeX-live installations support XeTeX too. To use a
Truetype font in XeTeX you will need to copy the fonts to a path that is
visible during xetex/xelatex runs and add something like this in your
document's preamble:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont[Scale=0.9,
BoldFont={*-Bold},
ItalicFont={*-Italic},
BoldItalicFont={*-BoldItalic}]
{DejaVuSerifCondensed}
\setsansfont[Scale=0.9,
BoldFont={*-Bold},
ItalicFont={*-Italic},
BoldItalicFont={*-BoldItalic}]
{DejaVuSansCondensed}
% Monospace DejaVu fonts have to be scaled down a bit more than
% their serif or sans-serif equivalents to look nice in print
% output.
\setmonofont[Scale=0.85,
BoldFont={*-Bold},
ItalicFont={*-Oblique},
BoldItalicFont={*-BoldOblique}]
{DejaVuSansMono}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
This is the preamble text I use to write XeTeX documents using the
DejaVu family of fonts. The results are fantastic. A sample of what
these fonts yield can be seen at:
http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~keramida/free.pdf
This is one of the books I converted from their HTML source to XeLaTeX
when I was learning to use TrueType and OpenType fonts in TeX. Copying
the DejaVu fonts in the same directory as the TeX source makes them
immediately available to XeLaTeX. This is nice because you can package
both the TeX source *and* the necessary fonts in the same archive :-)

Re: Two questions about UNIX(r) certification.
If I recall correctly, only the i386 version of Leopard is Unix certified, so if you're still using a PowerPC, you're out of luck for upgrading to a Unix certified operating system. But I believe a previous version was if you'd like to downgrade. As far as I know, Unix certification is more about interoperability than anything else, but there's still the public perception about security and stability. For Apple, it's probably more about bragging rights and propaganda than anything else.

Did I? Manning portupgrade, the -a says upgrade all INSTALLED with the r's being forward and backwards recursive, but 20 hours? Well, that depends which and how many ports you have installed on your box. I have a 400Mhz K6-III here, and updating Gnome 2.4 to 2.5 took me more that half a day of CPU-time (there were also some other ports that got updated). If you have a lot of ports installed of which quite a lot are outdated, it might indeed take a while until portupgrade is finished. You can post a list of installed ports if you are unsure. Just a guess: Are that your second CPU isn't idle? It is possible to have `make' execute multiple jobs simultaneously (with the -j parameter). To make this the default, you should add the following line to /etc/make.conf MAKE_ARGS=-j N where N is the number of (compilation, assembly, ...) jobs, that are started concurrently. For your dual processor system, I'd recommend N=2 or N=4 (having more processes than CPUs can speed up non-CPU bound, jobs given that your I/O system is fast enough).

No, there's not. ?? = 2 bytes long Windows 2000 = 12 bytes long Not unless you want to try and find space to delete 10 bytes of code in booteasy :-) Booteasy is only allowed to take up 446 bytes on your hard drive, and it's just about maxed out. Making ?? longer will push it over the limit. It actually uses ?? to mean some partition type I don't know about, so modifying that will make every partition other than FreeBSD say Windows 2000. Or you could add code to differentiate some more, but as I said, that would push it over the limit :-) If you want Windows 2000, use another bootmgr, such as grub. 2.
