Yeah, because I was stupid and copy/pasted the wrong thing. Sorry about that. It should have been a Section "Device", not Section "Screen".

@drhowardfine, had it already become full of spammers? I only remember that at the end, after the person who owned it became ill. Prior to that period, it was a pretty good forum. Then carpetsmoker started daemonforums to replace it, then...

Maybe I'll try that later, but ATM I have a WIP which requires -Current. But thanks for the idea.

FreeBSD 13.5 is EoL and not supported any more. The entire 13 major branch is EoL. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/topics-about-unsupported-freebsd-versions.40469/ Don't put multiple interfaces on the same network.

No, just make and then try to solve problems. I have it working now for some time. It's part of a full target system that now can boot its own medium again inside qemu 11. The port make still launches a portconfig options chooser process on the...

New since 14.2. I never heard of it but I'm probably going to use it. So we don't need doas and sudo? Never used it anyway but it became sort of howro standard.

Thanks, it is well set. The strange thing is that it's not consistent: sometimes it boots, and other times it doesn't!

If someone improves cardfile.exe with basic record management functions, I might start using wfw311 as personal phone number master record for old computers.

Thanks, I can understand the installer adding it but don't understand installer not including "noauto". This is complete speculation on my part, but msdosfs I think is less robust with unclean shutdowns (I could be completely wrong, so take it...

Thank you both guys, this is invaluable information! I will go ahead and clone the complete ports tree and start digging into Poudriere! Thank you so much again!

I guess I can wrap up this thread. I've learned quite a bit. Many thanks to everyone for the handholding :).
