Uhuh. What about this one?( commA && commB && commC ) > /tmp/log.$$ 2>&1 && rm /tmp/log.$$ || cat /tmp/log.$$

I would like to expand a little on the "tr: not found" error. I got that too when I was hand installing FreeBSD 8.0-R AMD64. In fact, the script kernels/install.sh contains this: # translate per Makefile:doTARBALL XXX are we sure to have tr? tn=`echo ${CONFIG} | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'` cat...

Give it a 10 GB virtual disk, and you should be fine. VirtualBox uses growing disk images, so a 10 GB max virtual disk won't really take up 10 gigs of your real hard drive space. Well, at least not until you really put 10 gigs worth of data into it.

Yes, that will only enable that from the csh. I have this in my ~/.xinitrc:export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/local/kde4/share/" export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/kde4/bin" startxfce4And I can run KDE apps from Xfce just fine. As you are using a graphical login manager, I guess you need...

Are you perhaps using custom compiler/compiler flags? That is not supported and you are expected to fix any errors yourself, if you want to use non-default compiler or flags. If you don't think that is the case, show your /etc/make.conf.

Perl can't easily be made to work with UTF-8? Hm, I'm surprised. Okay, this is not pretty, but I'm not really an AWK guy. All I can say is, it works. :) Here is what my source.txt looks like -- as I understand it, this is the table you're interested in: <table class="inform"> <tr>...

I would take the easy way. Grab Python, use one of the parsers that are bundled with it and be done with it. Since you know Perl, you could use that. I'm sure Perl has modules for parsing HTML/XML as well. If you want to go the manual route, you could build a state machine to parse the...

Quite simply, I gain a working computer. Computer without an OS is useless, and for me the OS is FreeBSD. FreeBSD may seem strange and obscure to you now if you are used to other systems, but to me it offers a very natural, stable and reliable environment. It's simply a matter of what...

And it looks so cute!

4 GB Kingston flash stick. You may be up to something here, though -- I once tried to flash my BIOS using a USB MP3 player. The computer manual claimed to be able to flash BIOS from a flash disk, but it wouldn't work with the player, even though to the OS the player looked and behaved just...

That's weird. I installed the image exactly the same way you did and it worked as advertised for me. Can you double-check that you really are trying to boot from the stick? Isn't the stick itself damaged? (Try dd'ing the stick back to another file and then md5'ing it again.) Also what...

No, none that I know of. As far as I know, all my ancestors were from somewhere in Central or Eastern Europe.

From this summer -- the most recent photo of me. xP

Looks like it's back to Xfce for me. Xfce and GTK theme is New Wave -- just discovered it -- and I think I love it already.

Wow, looks great. If I ever decide again I want automounting, I'll copy-pasta the config files. xD Anyway, a few, hopefully constructive, comments. This step is about adding HAL, but the description says dbus. Open Office: It's not really necessary to build your own, killasmurf86 built...

Well, I don't know what could be wrong here -- all I can say is that it works for me. If you don't know, you probably don't need it. Given that there is no other option to switch from i386 to AMD64 other than reinstalling the whole OS, it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble. Hehe. We...

Then the Java plugin should work reasonably well, to my knowledge. Which Java do you have installed? (diablo-jdk, jdk, something else?) If you go to Tools -> Preferences -> Java Options, what path do you have set there? On my system it is /usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386. Could you show an...

AMD came first with a 64-bit, x86-compatible architecture, and Intel copied it later, so it is called AMD64 even if it is an Intel CPU. The question really is if you're running 32- or 64-bit version of FBSD. The output of uname -pr would be helpful here. I installed from the Diablo port...

Java plugin actually worked out-of-the box for me, under all browsers that I've got installed here. (Opera, Firefox) I'm running FreeBSD/i386 -- are you on AMD64, perchance? I remember there being some problems with the Java plugin on a 64-bit Linux systems -- haven't tried with 64-bit...

Hehe. I still remember my first boot into FreeBSD after having used Linux for years: “Well, that went smooth, so let's look around a little -- what hardware is working? ls /dev Huh? What are these files??!” Other than that, after some reading and toying arund, I had no big difficulty...
