https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage Here is a list with interesting projects to work on.

In case you switch to pkgng you might want to check out http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng/ for quite up-to-date packages. Not all repos are online yet though.

What was the solution?

Why would you want to minimize RAM usage?

If those libs are only in /usr/src/ then they were not included in the system. AFAIK you need to add WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS=true to /etc/make.conf (or /etc/src.conf). And use clang++. Not sure to what extent everything got merged to FreeBSD 9.1.

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/devel/dconf} USE_GCC?=4.2 .endif Put this in your make.conf?

It sounds like he once tried to use FreeBSD because he thought it would be l33t haxx0r but failed to perform a proper install and set up some X-based environment. Bitter and unable to confront his own inability/ignorance he now holds a grudge against FreeBSD. I would pick hardware just so...

You are doing nothing wrong. The repository is not populated which IMO is not very nice. Personally I build my own repository with ports-mgmt/poudriere and you could do the same. Or stick with the old tools and use the packages at...

If you want a ton of features then go for x11/kde4. It is ported by a great team and up-to-date. Personally I use x11-wm/awesome.

service also scans /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

On what kind of system did it take 57 hours?

The packages for i386 are a month old. You are not using amd64? During September the online repo did not get updated so I started to compile packages myself in a jail with ports-mgmt/poudriere. Currently it is still pkgbeta instead of pkg.

Did you update your PACKAGESITE? Otherwise you are pulling in old packages. Or are you only using ports now?

This is very unfortunate. I hope he sticks around. Thank you Doug for your work!

Then I would do a clean install and repartition the drive as well. You could do a "non-destructive" install but would have to fiddle around to get rid of the old libs. Great! BTW, did you disable most debugging in -CURRENT? The defaults have a big impact on performance.

Did you install Xorg? Did you configure Xorg? Are hald and dbus enabled? Are any messages or errors logged when the keyboard stops working?

Packages? :P The ones for ports-mgmt/pkg are a bit out-of-date but the "normal" packages are up-to-date. In case you track -CURRENT and your architecture is amd64 then I could send you my local repo for ports-mgmt/pkg which is quite up-to-date. BTW, your netbook has no Intel integrated...

Just compile the world and kernel I guess. Or you can keep looking for another solution which probably would take more time.

And do not use the packages enclosed with the install medium. Those packages are old.

Ah, too bad. BTW, if you want to track CURRENT then make sure you put MALLOC_PRODUCTION=true in /etc/src.conf and disable some DEBUG options in the KERNCONF file.
