USB-boot flash memory stick - Fixit mode do not start
I try both 8.0-RELEASE and 8.1-RC official memstick images. I try write them to memory stick by that commands: # dd if=memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 # dd if=memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=512 I also try to write image from Windows by win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.2-r23-win32 I think all was writen well in all cases - in /dev appear /dev/da0a - i try to mount it - all was fine. I try to boot from it - all was fine too - appear sysinstall. But when I try to go to Fixit mode and choose USB - sysinstall tell me that there is no USB-device. I try that on 3 different PC - all the same.

This is a known bug that only happens with some, mostly older systems,

know if this just-informational patch might make it into 8.1-RELEASE ..

Another option is just making separate partitions for /tmp, /home /var and /usr or at least /usr/local. Of course, that would require taking the system down, backing up all affected partitions with dump(8), revising the partition structure, editing /etc/fstab and then restoring everything with restore(8). jerry Sorry for my english Best regards, Pawel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Running an Old Kernel
I have been attempting to shut off that last login message that occurs on some FreeBSD systems every time one runs a sudo command. I decided to bring back the last kernel which was the original Generic kernel from the FreeBSD distribution disk for FreeBSD8.0 to see if the problem went away. If it did, that would indicate that the problem starts after one applies the latest patches and rebuilds the kernel. The handbook covers building a new kernel very well, but I appear to be missing something. In /boot is loader and loader.old. Isn't loader.old the image of the previous kernel? I copied loader to loader.new since it should be the current image and then copied loader.old to loader and rebooted. The last login message was still there and dmesg still showed the production date of the new kernel. In other words, nothing changed. Shouldn't I have seen the production date of the original kernel? Thank you. I have actually built many kernels and most were simply a rebuild of the generic kernel after applying patches so I don't roll back a kernel very often. Fortunately, both the old and new kernels work. I think the last login nuisance started right after installing the patched kernel.

I decided to bring back the last kernel which was the original Generic kernel from the FreeBSD distribution disk for FreeBSD8.0 to see if the problem went away. If it did, that would indicate that the problem starts after one applies the latest patches and rebuilds the kernel. The handbook covers building a new kernel very well, but I appear to be missing something. In /boot is loader and loader.old. Isn't loader.old the image of the previous kernel? I copied loader to loader.new since it should be the current image and then copied loader.old to loader and rebooted. I don't think you've read the sections regarding kernel very carefully. The loader is built and installed as part of buildworld and installworld, not buildkernel or installkernel. It is not the kernel, which is usually installed in /boot/kernel, with the old kernel usually being moved to /boot/kernel.old when a new kernel is installed. The last login message was still there and dmesg still showed the production date of the new kernel. In other words, nothing changed. Shouldn't I have seen the production date of the original kernel? Thank you. I have actually built many kernels and most were simply a rebuild of the generic kernel after applying patches so I don't roll back a kernel very often. Fortunately, both the old and new kernels work. I think the last login nuisance started right after installing the patched kernel. Why on earth are you tinkering with your kernels in order to change sudo output? You should instead be editing configuration files associated with sudo and related base system utilities, or patching sudo. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Is it safe to modify Wine's makefile to allow it to install on amd64?
Wine is configured to install only on i386, and I use amd64. I don't want to reinstall with i386, so I would like to know if it is safe to modify Wine's makefile and install it on amd64. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I couldn't remember if this happened with the original kernel so I wanted to put it back long enough to see if the problem went away. If it is gone under the original kernel and here with the patched kernel, this might tell me something useful. I have a 8.0 system here that has a patched kernel that is a little older and it does not exhibit that behavior. Sudo is configured exactly the same way on both systems. The environment looks the same. This really makes no sense so there is something different on the system with the problem and I just have not found it yet.

I should be more specific: I think you should be able to disable the

Looking at Matthew Seaman's earlier response, I find that his
suggestion to make changes to ${PREFIX}/etc/pam.d/sudo is more
appropriate than my guess above. But you probably need to look into
the details, because judging from the comments in the
${PREFIX}/etc/pam.d/sudo.default file, there seems to be some
subtleties involving sudo and pam_lastlog. Look at the pertinent
manpages, the sudo docs, and:

size suffix w x
I have a script I am hacking. The code has a check for a size suffix. I know what m|mb|g|gb|k|kb| and the upper case version of the same letters mean. But the code also has an w|x size options. Is this a valid size type and what does it mean? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You would think that a Ford 302 V8 would be a fairly simple swap into an old 305 engined 1979 Impala, given that they use the same fuel, the same lubricant, the same coolant, the same basic voltage, are within 1% displacement, and turn at similar RPMs, but the case is simply not so. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
