Depends on what you mean.  If you mean "follow the instructions at the
end", well, it's your mailbox; it's unlikely to do much, possibly
excepting get you more spam.  If you mean "read the headers and look up
the providers and registrars for accommodationinusa.com", it might do
some good, and I admire your dedication - I long ago gave up doing
anything more than refiling my netbsd.org spam.  If you mean "ask the
netbsd.org admins to put a stop to spam through their lists", it's
unlikely to do much; even though netbsd.org lists are a substantial
fraction of the spam that leaks through to my mailbox, they seem
unwilling to apply any of the various SMTP-time techniques I use that
are so effective that netbsd.org list leakage *is* a substantial
fraction of the spam leaking through to my mailbox.  (While I'm not
entirely convinced they're wrong to refuse, I'm also far from convinced
they're right.)

ok - got some images of the crash... don't know if I need to compress
them harder for this list (will be about 3 to 5 images) - took them
with those digital camera things, so by default they are ~2Meg for
each image...

how would you like them?

Each sent as a separate email to your email account only, or to the list?

Compress each image more? What is acceptible size for the
list/your-email-account then?

Or is there a way to "save" the "bt" dumps of ddb to a flie?

Kind regards
Leon.

oh for crying out loud :-)

ok - I got this flickr thing happening (had to register on flickr
which meant getting yahoo ID which screwed with me for appopriate
names, passwords, questions and other such nonsense [plus I am certain
I am going to forget the damn passwords anyway :-] ... then had to
wait for the stuff to upload, then had to name, tag and describe the
photos... the bug-reporting system sucks :-) I guess the upshot is
that I will have the "infrastructure" made in case I need to post
further snapshots... (if I manage to remember the 47th password for
1000th online account :-)

alternatively my next machine will be an intel-based laptop :-)

Oh with all that bitchin - I have almost forgot the link:

if it is the right one... tell me if you can see the things :-)

Re: Package binaries for NetBSD/macppc 3.1_STABLE / pkgsrc-2007Q1

Hi,

I've uploaded the new files in the results of a bulk rebuild done on
NetBSD/macppc 3.1_STABLE to

   ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages-2007Q1/NetBSD-3.1/powerpc/

A total of 2.3GB of packages were uploaded, most of this is
triggered by the png update.

The source tree this was built from was updated May 24.

The packages available in new versions are clamav, freetype2,
ipsec-tools, mysql-client, mysql-server, png, and samba.

As indicated above, the build was done on a machine running NetBSD
3.1_STABLE, and most of these packages should be usable on newer
versions of the OS up to where we switched to gcc 4, and should also
be usable on 3.1 and probably on 3.0 as well.  For the packages which
are not architecture-specific (should be the vast majority), these
packages should also be usable on other powerpc ports.

Regards,

- Håvard

Booting Mac mini from USB ?

Hi,

I have plugged an multi-card reader on the USB port of my mini.
When I boot NetBSD (from the disk), the dmesg is:

BOOT/BSDP failed: no FILENAME specifiedopen /netbsd

Hi,

I did some googling about this. I was able to find someone else with this
problem trying to install NetBSD4 BETA2 on a mini, but not a solution.

I can see from the logs on the the server that it does a dhcp request,
gets ofwboot.xcf via tftp. It then looks like it does another dhcp request
(or at least there is another line in my messages log on the server), but
even if I run mountd -d, I don't even see an attempt to connect to the nfs
server. Although, I can mount the nfs partition. I think that it is ether
a problem with ofwboot.xcf, my dhcpd.conf (I am using 10.10.2.0 instead of
192.168.0.0), or the home/office switch/router that I am using. I was just
wondering, is there any way that I could tell ofwboot.xcf the location of
the nfs server and root file system from the boot prompt?  This would
greatly speed things up for me.

Thanks,
Al

Could you show us the relevant entry from you dhcpd.conf file? (That would
eliminate your 2nd option..)

Cheers,

Patrick
