Dear List,
i would like to install OpenBSD 4.3 on an old Pentium MMX machine. The
BIOS can boot off from a cd, but it simply refuses to boot the OBSD
installation media. It checks the cd, waits a few seconds, then just
goes on.
Any suggestions?

as you said, it's an old machine. possibly the bios doesn't like the
boot cd format (non-emulation).
luckily, there are these wonderful floppy images you can use. your cd
burning program should allow you to build a bootable cd in El
Torito, or floppy emulation format - you might have better luck

compare files on the two USB disks and check they copied correctly.
if they were mangled, you can fix system files by untarring from fresh
sets, but you also need to look at /home etc and check your own files
are ok.
I did the same thing again, exactly. Really.
Now everything works.

Hi, just wondering what's your opinion on this...
If one were to release some code under an ISC or BSD-like 2 clause
license, but under the name of anonymous, would it effectively as if
it was released as public domain?
Hi, All
Does anybody have already installed Business Intelligence software like Pentaho
on OpenBSD ?
Do you have good experiences with other software for reporting, analyzing ...
(on OBSD) ?
Thanks.

My guess would be that the content is released into the public domain
since you can't sue because there is no proof that you are the
copyright holder.

Said individual would have to be able to prove he originally made the
content available. I guess this could theoretically be possible ie if
server logs verify it or something along those lines. Things to
