Thanks for the module, I think its a good idea to commit it to FreeBSD for a few reasons: 1) Some folks just prefer more static kernels. 2) Securelevel is a great thing, but can be a pain to do upgrades around remotely. [A lot of folks use FreeBSD simply because its a breeze to run remotely]. 3) Until someone writes code to add modules to a kernel via /dev/mem and releases it to the script

I'm running a new install of 4.8-RELEASE on i386. Running "pkg_add -r gnome2", the following errors are reported: (I've defined the BATCH environment variable).

Hi all, I have update recently to freebsd 9.1 via freebsd-update and I was quite happy with the process and the instructions on freebsd-handbook, I think well documented. But I would like to understand what is the best practice to update the ports too as I used the package tools (pkg_add -r) to add few package to the base install. Keeping in mind my server have disk space constrain (small disk

I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1611) for armhfp compatible machines.

After installing a text-based development environment via /stand/sysinstall (followed by CVSup, makeworld/kernel etc to 4-8-stable), I realize I want to install KDE, too. I initiated this with: pkg_add -r kdebase followed again by CVSup etc. Apparently that wasn't enough. Am getting message "XFree86 setup utility.. not installed" when trying to config xf86config (text-based) via

Hi, I am using a centos 5.3 and after a kernel upgrade I've reinstalled the kmod so it could copy/create the links to the .ko files. When I start the drbd I receive messages like this: DRBD module version: 8.2.6 userland version: 8.3.2 preferably kernel and userland versions should match. I'd like to know how 'serious' is this difference (in terms of potential problems) and

I have installed samba on openbsd 3.1 with a pkg_add and everything went fine but for some reason it seems as if the executable to start samba is not there, what am I missing here is the install docs I followed but still can't get it started. Smbd and nmbd is under /usr/local/libexec but samba will not start. http://nomoa.com/bsd/samba.htm <http://nomoa.com/bsd/samba.htm>

Dear folks, I'm recently investigating large scale deployment and upgrading FreeBSD RELEASE. It's our tradition to bump "RELEASE-pN" after a security patch is applied, however, it seems that there is less method to determine whether the userland is patched, which is somewhat important for large site managements. So is "uname -sr" the only way to differencate the

Recently, I looked at some options implementing unusual file systems in userland. On Linux, there is LUFS and similar stuff which frees one from touching any kernel code. The design is always similar: a generic kernel module forwards calls to a user level daemon and forwards returned results back. The user level daemon implements or serves as a basis for unusual user land filesystem

Hi, Has anyone had any success? After a clean install of OpenBSD, I do the following:- pkg_add ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/packages/i386/gmake-3.80.tgz pkg_add ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/packages/i386/bison-1.35p1.tgz pkg_add ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/3.5/packages/i386/ruby-ncurses-0.8.tgz Then, I get (via CVS) the asterisk source.. cd /usr/src/asterisk /usr/local/bin/gmake clean
