Dealing with a mix of DHCP and fixed addresses
I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this in the FAQ. I don't like DHCP, I consider it useful in temporary situations only. I've had a few machines on a LAN with fixed IPs for years and it all works fine. Along comes a cell phone and it becomes my internet gateway, at least most of the time. Typical Android anyway, I've seen 2 of them work the same way. When I turn on the WiFi hotspot it becomes 192.168.43.1. It assigns IPs from a pool that includes 192.168.43.34, 192.168.43.72, 192.168.43.134 I am running Debian on this one but I'm not sure to what degree I can circumnavigate the Android hotspot. I could just turn it off I suppose and do my sharing from within Linux. If I turn on Android's WiFi it expects to connect to an AP, which I could set up. Trying to bridge to a WiFi interface on an OpenBSD machine that's in a DHCP arrangement gives an error. The first machine to connect to the phone always gets assigned 192.168.43.34 and the phone's IP (and gateway DNS) is always 192.168.43.1 I'd like to have some fixed IPs just because I want to be able to FTP and SSH from one machine to another. The phone's rooted, I suppose I could try to find and modify its equivalent of dhcpd.conf. There isn't one but I can fiddle with how it's set up at least to some degree. WiFi seems the only reasonable way in and out of this thing, the USB hardware doesn't support host mode and only works for some things. So anyway, anybody else deal with this situation?

Re: OpenBSD Foundation and OpenBSD Project
Thank you for the replies. I donated the equivalent of the CD cost to OpenBSD Project.

When one purchases a OpenBSD CD from the OpenBSD store does that money (after admin fees etc) go to Project or Foundation?

Problems Booting from CD2 of 5.7
Hello, My copy of 5.7 arrived yesterday, but I seem to have problems booting from the second CD (trying to boot an amd64 system) The system will not boot at all - it reports that it can't see a bootable disk. I can boot the same system from the first CD (i386) and this all works OK If I take a look at the second CD, it seems that all of the files are in uppercase, which isn't what I would have expected. The first CD shows the installation files (base57.tgz etc.) having the expected case. $ ls -lR total 153 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Jul 29 2014 5.7 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel310 Mar 15 18:59 HARDWARE -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 64780 Mar 15 18:59 OFWBOOT -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3387 Mar 15 18:59 PACKAGES -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2421 Mar 15 18:59 PORTS -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6463 Mar 15 18:59 README -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel582 Mar 15 18:59 SHA256.SIG -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel313 Mar 15 18:59 TRANS.TBL ./5.7: total 12 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 14 20:13 AMD64 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 14 20:13 MACPPC dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 1 2014 PACKAGES -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 133 Mar 15 18:59 TRANS.TBL ./5.7/AMD64: total 451313 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 57380394 Mar 8 17:04 BASE57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 14 20:13 BOOT.CAT -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10029237 Mar 8 17:04 BSD -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10069780 Mar 8 17:04 BSD.MP -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7592389 Mar 8 17:10 BSD.RD -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 71076 Mar 8 16:54 CDBOOT -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 8 16:54 CDBR -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 51246149 Mar 8 17:05 COMP57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1474560 Mar 8 17:10 FLOPPY57.FS -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2789725 Mar 8 17:05 GAME57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 46518 Mar 8 17:10 INSTALL.AMD -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8984308 Mar 8 17:05 MAN57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 80964 Mar 8 16:54 PXEBOOT -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1535 Mar 14 20:13 SHA256.SIG -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 846 Mar 15 18:59 TRANS.TBL -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17060674 Mar 7 11:12 XBASE57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 39930183 Mar 7 11:12 XFONT57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19794709 Mar 7 11:12 XSERV57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4519648 Mar 7 11:12 XSHARE57.TGZ ./5.7/MACPPC: total 332962 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 62022947 Mar 8 19:54 BASE57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel184723 Mar 8 19:20 BOOT.MAC -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7734082 Mar 8 19:53 BSD -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7747827 Mar 8 19:53 BSD.MP -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8457407 Mar 8 20:10 BSD.RD -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6917 Mar 8 19:20 BSD.TBX -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 53558838 Mar 8 19:55 COMP57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2800308 Mar 8 19:55 GAME57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 51050 Mar 8 20:10 INSTALL.MAC -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Mar 8 17:05 MAN57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 64780 Mar 8 19:20 OFWBOOT -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1454 Mar 14 20:13 SHA256.SIG -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 816 Mar 15 18:59 TRANS.TBL -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17803347 Mar 7 13:48 XBASE57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Mar 7 11:12 XFONT57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10045621 Mar 7 13:49 XSERV57.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Mar 7 11:12 XSHARE57.TGZ ./5.7/PACKAGES: total 8 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 15 18:59 AMD64 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2048 Mar 15 18:59 POWERPC -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel88 Mar 15 18:59 TRANS.TBL ./5.7/PACKAGES/AMD64: total 3469 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1459954 Mar 7 16:56 LYNX-2_8.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 316899 Mar 7 16:56 RSYNC-3_.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 349 Mar 15 18:59 SHA256.SIG -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 156 Mar 15 18:59 TRANS.TBL ./5.7/PACKAGES/POWERPC: total 3554 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1497929 Mar 7 16:56 LYNX-2_8.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 322444 Mar 7 16:56 RSYNC-3_.TGZ -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 349 Mar 15 18:59 SHA256.SIG -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 156 Mar 15 18:59 TRANS.TBL Is anyone else seeing similar issues?

ed -s
Invoking ed -s file.txt, where file does not contain a newline at the end, sends to stderr in spite of -s flag: newline appended. Is this normal behaviour? Does ed/sed spoil files with non ascii bytes (for example unicode characters)? By experience seems to me that they, as also lex, do not spoil the files, that one can edit them, but I do not know to what extent, if there is a risk. Thanks Rodrigo.
