Re: CF Ethernet for FreeBSD?

Not to mentione FreeBSD drivers, but only finding an Ethernet
interface that plugs into a CF sockets seems very chalenging: you
don't really send/receive the same information to memory and to
network interface; CF can address GB of data, while the network card
has a few KB at best; etc.

Good luck,

Olivier

CF sockets usually can act as sockets for ATA/IDE compatible disk 
drives as well as for PCMCIA-like peripheral cards.

Also, there are some Ethernet interface chips that are designed to 
be memory-mapped. See, for example, the one by ASIX, which is often 
used in embedded systems because it can interface with pretty much any CPU.

What are my options concerning WordPerfect 5.1...?? Would WP 5.1 run on FreeBSD?? Or, 
would I need to run WP5.1 on a DOS partition?? If WP5.1 was on a DOS partition, could I readily

stable/8/UPDATING - no mention of 8.0 release

iH,
   Been updating my src via svn and following stable/8.  Looking at the
UPDATING file, it does not mention '8.0-RELEASE'

Did it just not make it in there yet?

http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/8/UPDATING?view=markup
  vs.
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/release/8.0.0/UPDATING?view=markup

It just confused me for awhile after I did a 'svn up' and did not see the
release notes...

[for the 7.X series, both stable/ and release/ mention the release in
UPDATING]

]Peter[

Firefox 3.5 and Epiphany crashing since the GNOME 2.28 update

Hi all, I'm on 8.0/amd64, and my GNOME 2.28 update went off with no
problems, but now Firefox 3.5 and Epiphany 2.28 crash when visiting
certain pages, such as the "Welcome to firefox" first-start page.
Firefox leaves "Segmentation fault (core dump)" in the console when it
crashes, and Epiphany is silent. I've removed the Totem 2.28 plugins
(thinking them to be the cause), removed Moonlight, removed Java,
removed nspluginwrapper Flash10, and finally
removed /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins altogether.

This seems very similar to the Firefox 3.5 HTML5 <video> crash FreeBSD 7
users experience until they kldload sem, but I'm on 8.0 and sem is
loaded by default. I didn't 
see anything new in UPDATING, and I successfully played an Ogg Theora
video from an HTML5 <video> test page located at
http://www.double.co.nz/video_test/test1.html, so I don't think that's
it.

Is there anywhere else where browser plugins lurk, or is there anything
else the two may have in common besides plugins?

Ok, good to know.

I saw UFS corruption once with frequent restarts, but assumed that was because the "delayed filesystem
checking" never had a chance to run.

Since I don't have a UPS I guess backups are doubly important.

Note that finding an empty file you had just been editing before a 
crash is NOT UFS corruption. It's data loss, probably caused by
softupdates, which guarantees filesystem consistency in the case
of a crash, but it can sometimes be up to a minute behind in

Check out FreeBSD's ports collection. From the project's main
page, choose the shortcut "ports" on the right.

	http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html

You can have a look at the many programs for FreeBSD either
by logical or by alphabetical list. More than 20,000 ports
are available.

> I would like to buy a new or dependable used laptop.??

You should check the laptop's specifications with FreeBSD
hardware list, just to make sure everything is supported
properly.

> Initially, most of my questions are concerning?software.??

I think you#re primarily refering to application software,
not OS software in particular.

I'm not a big fan of HP, but I'm sure they offer laptops that
are compatible.
