    How to upgrade criticals base third party softwares

    You should look at src.conf, especially "WITHOUT_OPENSSL=".

    question to migrate from linux to bsd

    You can share /home/ if it is ext2 or ext3, but I'm not sure how well it will work.

    empty variable name while installing mysql.

    Don't put spaces in "WITH_XCHARSET=all" perhaps? Or, I think you could pass it as env WITH_XCHARSET=all make install clean

    Question about USB Cable Modem Thomson/RCA model dhg534b

    Well, for one thing grep cdce /usr/src/sys/*/conf/GENERIC ibid for "usb", if you wish. If you want to know if the driver exists in your current kernel or currently loaded modules try kldstat -v | grep cdce Why it isn't working as expected is beyond me, as I've never heard of cdce before...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    Oh dear, no. I can confirm that aptitude, apt-get, dpkg all work perfectly on Unbunutuwutu. As does an angry "rm -rf /" whist you shriek imprecations at the accursed thing.

    Lack of space in /usr

    I have been using /home/ports/ for the ports tree for a couple of years now. I just symlink it to /usr/ports. I also set "WRKDIRPREFIX= /home/tmp" to avoid pollution (I can just rm -r /home/tmp/ports/ to clean all the work directories, if I wish). So far it hasn't caused any problems.

    Unable to do a cold shutdown (have to press powerbutton)

    It's part of GENERIC these days. For a good time, try kldstat -v | grep acpi Note that kldstat with the -v flag is likely to be exceptionally noisy. > kldstat -v | wc -l 339

    Check a Compact Flash Card for errors

    Hmm, just recall that newfs for 8.1 has added trim support, so some of that tell-all is out-of-date. More general support is perhaps on the horizon (dunno if we'll see it in 8.x or 9.x).

    1TB USB drive incorrectly reports size

    No, but it does have support for Apple Partition Map (I guess to allow manipulation of such). Well, you can try fdisk from the command line. Again, be careful about device names and such: # fdisk -I /dev/da0 # bsdlabel -w /dev/da0s1 # newfs -U -L externaldrive1 /dev/da0s1a # mount...

    1TB USB drive incorrectly reports size

    fdisk, or more importantly sysinstall may have limitations (& I am not up to speed on what all those may be). If you are only ever going to use this for FreeBSD as a ufs drive, use gpart. Something like: # gpart delete da0s1 # gpart destroy da0 # gpart create -s gpt da0 # gpart add -b 64 -t...

    ATA_CAM and ahci

    ATA_CAM makes all of your ATA devices available through cam, but has no effect on the actual underlying driver. ahci provides proper SATA support (along with NCQ, so ostensibly speeding things up a bit) & puts your SATA devices under cam, but it has no effect on any other (non-serial) ATA...

    Filesystem /usr full when compiling Xorg 7.5

    Assuming you have a ton of space available in /home you could add a line like WRKDIRPREFIX= /home to /etc/make.conf. In this case it would create a directory called /home/ports/ and then populate that as needed with subdirectories to build in. Another thing you might look at is how much...

    Not able to use GNU Screen with ZSH

    Well, the brute-force method would be to find every possible reference to "/bin/zsh" in your home directory (and perhaps in /etc/). Something like grep -R /bin/zsh ~/

    OpenSolaris is About To Be Forked As Illumos

    I actually like a lumpy flavour, but that's me A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. --Proverbs 22:1 ;)

    FreeBSD don't see LSI1078 (IBM x3850 m2 72332LG)

    Driver-wise, I'm pretty sure that it is. A couple of minor changes and this SA are all that I can recall seeing change.

    What's better for upgrade base system ? + Question about CFLAGS

    Indeed -pipe is a safe flag to set, & indeed (to quote /usr/share/mk/sys.mk): .if defined(%POSIX) CC ?= c89 CFLAGS ?= -O .else CC ?= cc .if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "arm" || ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "mips" CFLAGS ?= -O -pipe .else CFLAGS...

    They aren't direct analogues, but that's not too bad. Something like: 7.3-RELEASE lenny 8.1-RELEASE squeeze 8-STABLE sid -CURRENT might be closer, but in reality, debian just uses a pre-packaged kernel (that others have ostensibly tested) & their...

    Installing FreeBSD 2.2.9-RELEASE on a virtual machine

    Have you tried emulators/qemu with uhh . . . (digs around for a moment) -net nic,model=ne2k_isa? That should be the one that literally everything in the universe has drivers for, if anything. Honestly, I could never get anything earlier than 5.x to see the qemu hard drives correctly, but...

    OpenSolaris is About To Be Forked As Illumos

    Maybe they could pick a different Lem novel to name their OS after. I think "Eden" is already taken (that's just a processor, so maybe not), but "The Invincible" would be nice, or "Memoirs Found in a Bath Tub".

    What kind of music do you listen to?

    Once you really get what guys like Mahler or Bach were doing, I mean once it really really sets into your brain what they were trying to say & do, you should come to the sudden and vital realisation that rock & roll, hip hop, & whatnot are redundant. Beethoven used a 4/4 backbeat in his...
