 chmod u=rwx /home
 PKG_CACHE=/home
 pkg_add k3b
 
 But when i type pkg_add k3b, is not working, and the url

 Strange, isn't it?
 (the double //) I'ts not my fault, so i don't what what

 Depends on how big your hard drive is obviously, but here
 are some pointers:
 
 http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Disks
 
 Provides a good starting point for a 13G drive.  It says:
 
 / 150M
 Swap  300M
 /tmp   120M
 /var 80M
 /usr 6G
 /home  4G
 
 Now, you say that you want to use mail, web and database.
 
 In OpenBSD, if you install from ports or packages, your
 data for the mail,
 ftp and database is going to be under the /var partition,
 in /var/www,
 /var/db and /var/mail.
 
 To begin with, you are probably best off just allocating
 more to /var.   And
 in your case, I assume your drive is going to be a lot
 larger than 13Gb
 
 So just add more the /var partition, a bit more to the /usr
 partition.
 
 If you wanted to get really smart, you could add a /var/log
 parition and
 give it a few Gb, or split up /var/db, /var/mail and
 /var/www into separate
 partitions, but I think it is just overkill for what you
 want.
 
 By the time your server starts running out of space, you
 will know which
 apps are taking the room and will be able to migrate to a
 bigger and better
 configuration.

 You obviously didn't actually try typing that,
 because you would have
 gotten an error from the shell: semicolon is a
 special character to
 the shell and needs to be quoted to include in a
 variable value.
 However, semicolon is the wrong character for
 PKG_PATH!  Please inform
 the author of the documentation that you got that
 from that it's wrong
 and needs to be corrected.
 
 Since pkg_add is the command that uses PKG_PATH, did
 you consider
 reading the pkg_add(1) manpage to see what it says
 about it?  (If not,
 please do so in the future: OpenBSD actually
 documents stuff in
 manpages!)
 
  PKG_PATH If a given package name cannot be
 found, the directories
   named by PKG_PATH are searched. 
 It should contain a series
   of entries separated by colons. 
 Each entry consists of a
   directory name, ending in a slash.
  URL schemes such as FTP,
   HTTP, HTTPS, or SCP are also
 appropriate.  The current di-
   rectory may be indicated
 implicitly by an empty directory
   name, or explicitly by a single
 period (`./').
 
 So:
export
 PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.some/:/usr/ports/packages/

  don't copy commands from a web page and run them

   first off, installboot probably already ran,

   definitely not the right way to run it.

  Again a mis representation in pulic?

I think the software if free ( freedom) each proyect has the freedom to do the 
best effort posibly. Think only in BSD world (Net, Free, Open) three BSD 
operating system with different goals.

If you want give credit to the Linus words then continue the thread, if no, it 
can be closed subject. 

Mr. Torvalds is free to talk any thing, we are freedom to listen or no listen

 Hi guys,
 i want to make a presentation to introduce OpenBSD
 into the public of my 
 university. Someone can give me ideas to capture the
 public? Most of my 
 public work with linux, so i think i have to spent
 some words into the 
 difference between linux and OBSD.
 Ideas?

I believe that you must be concentrate in a real
objective talk for theys.

You never enter in a discussion about the if openbsd
is better o linux is worst, only speak about the how
OpenBSD can help to be productive in the server o
development environment, The integrated security and
the high quality code. 

No comparison can be in the desktop field, OpenBSD is
not recommended widely in this field, I believe Linux
is better (no discussion here).

Maybe some people (including me) are using OpenBSD in
development enviroment, using some lite wm (awesome,
cwm, fvwm, etc) with minimal tools (some included in
base) and programming languages.

Concentrate in speaking in the OpenBSD features only,
goals.

With OpenBSD you can be productive from the after
installation, include wireless integrated support,
ligth windows managers, perl (favorite), and many
more.

Re: problems using cardbus card in -current

 April 4th is a long time ago in -current terms.  The
 most sensible
 thing to do if you want to be running -current or
 thereabouts is to
 upgrade to a fresh snapshot and try whatever it was
 again.  Bugs do
 get fixed.
 

yesterday I updated to -current (from june 16th) and
the problem persist.

example:
at the boot the dmesg for my CNet CWC-854 print it:
$ dmesg | grep ^ral

ral0 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0 Ralink RT2561 rev
0x00: irq 11ral0: timeout waiting for NIC to
initialize

The content of /etc/firmware  contain the requerid
firmware for it.

$ ls -all /etc/firmware/ral-*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin   957 Jun 17 16:26
/etc/firmware/ral-license
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin  8192 Jun 17 16:26
/etc/firmware/ral-rt2561
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin  8192 Jun 17 16:26
/etc/firmware/ral-rt2561s
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin  8192 Jun 17 16:26
/etc/firmware/ral-rt2661
-rw-r--r--  1 root  bin  8192 Jun 17 16:26
/etc/firmware/ral-rt2860

from my Atheros AR5212 (Sparklan WL611S) :

$ dmesg | grep ^ath

ath0 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0 Atheros AR5212 rev
0x01: irq 11
ath_hal_attach: unable to init EEPROM
ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 22

at this point only the iwi interface work fine
included in the IBM T43p laptop.

I don't know the problem, but in NetBSD (both -current
and stable) both work fine, maybe ath0 contain
differetn HAL code in it.

The ral driver was imported from OpenBSD to NetBSD
according to man page.

 You could try installing iwi firmware first. Search
 misc archives for steps.

iwi firmware is installed under /etc/firmware it work,
but if the connection is slow then bounce several
messages broken the connection.

My AR5212 (cardbus, Sparklan ) don't work, at the boot
it crashed the kernel.

Ralink card from CNet also crash at the boot.
I'm compiling -current today, to test it.
