    This forum: horribly slow?

    Seems to happen to me when I use webkit browsers. Switching to Opera or Konqueror (khtml) and forums seemed as quick as usual.

    how to mount ntfs on usb storage device as writeable

    If you're just using mount_ntfs command I'm sure I've read that it's read only. Install sysutils/fusefs-ntfs from ports to gain the read write perms. ntfs-3g -o dmask=002,fmask=113 /dev/<partition> /mnt/<point>

    Xorg unresponsive

    Providing you use portsnap fetch update you should the latest and greatest. Sure go for x11/xorg-minimal if you want, iirc it just avoids some small ports (setxkbmap perhaps?). The thing with ports on the dvd is that they were put together at the time of freeze, so you could install the...

    filelight has too many dependencies? KDE instead of GNOME?

    cd /usr/ports && make search name=filelight-1.0_6 Looks like the KDE parts are build dependencies, not required deps.

    Unable to mount ISO, invalid argument

    A bit of hassle but what I've done a few times is copy the .iso to a partition I can share with Linux, boot a linux livecd, mount the partition and then the .iso, create a new .iso from there. Move that back to the shared partition and then try it from within FreeBSD. Example of the...
