You only need something like "expand" or "tab.c" if you want to convert each tab to a variable number of spaces depending on column position. If you just want each tab to become a single space, which is what I think your "in other words" says: $ tr '\011' ' ' < input > output If you want each _sequence of one or more tabs and/or spaces_ to become a single space, which is what the example looks like: $ sed 's/[ ^I][ ^I]*/ /g' < input > output (^I represents an actual tab character; in bash I get that by the two-keystroke sequence CtrlV CtrlI but other shells may vary.

I think / should have enough space for installing a new kernel without debugging symbols, I assume it will require 50 MB max, and if we assume that the current GENERIC kernel will be kept as a backup, you should be fine. Coming back to your initial partitioning data, Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a496M328M128M72%/ indicates that you have 128 MB free, so it should work. In case "make installkernel" will fail due to capacity reasons, you can easily switch back to the backup kernel, and maybe you find some stuff you can safely delete from the / partition (e. g. check /root). Also, read /usr/src/Makefile's comment header about the recommended procedure for updating the system. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

If all these > tools ultimately resolve to pkgdb, I will try to learn about that. I think pkgdb (often used as "pkgdb -aF") belongs to portinstall / portupgrade, and it keeps things in sync when you use different installing methods side by side (which is possible), e. g. # pkg_add -r bla # portinstall foo/urgz # cd /usr/ports/baz/bar # make install In this case, running "pkgdb -aF" before and after each installation (or upgrading or removing) step makes sure nothing gets "installed twice". If you use portmaster for maintaining your ports, you should be safe. Using portsnap to obtain a current ports tree is a common way. If you need it "more current", use csup. Here is an explaination text I did already post to the list: Step 1: Add this to /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE= yes SUP=/usr/bin/csup SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.freebsd.org PORTSSUPFILE= /etc/sup/ports.sup Step 2: Create /etc/sup/ports.sup: *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all Note: You can use a different cvsup host and can also exclude port categories from being updated (e. g. for languages you do not use, or kinds of programs you are not interested in). See /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile for more details, it's very well documented (here: in comments). Step 3: Perform the update # cd /usr/ports # make update Now you have a _current_ ports tree. Note: A similar method works for the system sources. Add SUPFILE=/etc/sup/stable.sup to /etc/make.conf and create /etc/sup/stable.sup like this: *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all This will give you 8-STABLE. Use "tag=RELENG_8.0" for 8.0-pX (security branch, just as freebsd-update would do), and if you need RELEASE, use "tag=RELENG_8.0.0". Then, # cd /usr/src # make update # make buildworld buildkernel See /usr/src/Makefile (comment section) for which make targets are defined and in which order you must proceed for a system upgrade based on sources.

It is currently discussed to turn Gnome into a kind of Linux distribution, if I understood this correctly. Of course it implies that Gnome _itself_ will drop support for Solaris and the BSDs, and maybe all other operating systems that do not run the Linux kernel (e. g. Debian running a FreeBSD or HURD kernel, maybe even mobile devices?). But on the other hand, this is free software, so anyone who wants to port Gnome to non-Linux is free to do so. > PC-BSD seems to have done a great job reproducing the way Mac's > install software, by using self-contained bundles (PBI's). In my opinion, this is not optimal. Software should be managed by the system, not by downloading things using a web browser... but at least there are command line tools to deal with PBI, so all the annoying interaction during an installation process can be omitted. But on the other hand, this is what people seem to be used to, so why not distribute software this strange way? :-) > And next > version of PBI is supposed to not need a GUI.

If you want a preconfigured system and don't mind the sloppy support for the german language, PC-BSD is a very good piece of software. Still I have to express Mr. Horse's primary opinion about it. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

Hardware Recovery Company
Hi folks, I recently sent a hard drive to be recovered and I think they just ripped me off. I have the back-up drive and believe it or not it has the same exact symptoms and won't mount. So I want to send both drives to a REAL AND TRUSTED LAB for 2 things: 1) Forensics on the supposed head-replecement mumbo-jumbo/scam crap of the other lab 2) Recovery of the data of the back-up drive I guess this only happens once in a lifetime when both drives die, but I can't risk the second drive to a non-certified lab. I really trust the people on this list so hopefully you can point me to a real and non-bullshit lab that can really recover data. It would be nice to know if the lab can actually do #1 and certify my concerns and willing to testify in court because I want to press legal charges against the other lab if they in fact ripped me off and jeopardized my data. But if they can't I still need to recover the data! HELP!

I think he wants to turn Gnome Desktop Environment into a Desktop of it's own, making the Linux underbelly disappear much like Microsoft made DOS disappear from their lineup, making Windows the primary focus. if Gnome goes the way of Windows there is a plethora of other choices to choose for a WM ... openbox/blackbox/fluxbox, XFCE, yes KDE is an option, it takes some getting used to but it can still be used.

If all these tools ultimately resolve to pkgdb, I will try to learn about that. I have tried PC-BSD, and look forward to version 9.0. I really don't like KDE, though. I hear some rumblings about a Gnome developer wanting to drop BSD support, so maybe I better start liking KDE. PC-BSD seems to have done a great job reproducing the way Mac's install software, by using self-contained bundles (PBI's). And next version of PBI is supposed to not need a GUI. I'm sure I will be trying the next version PC-BSD. Hopefully to be released soon. thanks! ___ 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"

The rest of the df output looks normal. > What I think I failed to previously mention is that this machine started out > with fbsd6.x, was upgraded many times from 6x though 7.1 where it fell into > disuse.

In this case, you should switch off all debugging for the kernel, and maybe even omit the backup kernel.OLD mechanism. But attention! This can be dangerous! Still you have the option to boot from a live system (Fixit should be enough) to manually make a backup copy of the running kernel, and in case anything fails at boot stage, use the live sytem to re-"install" the old kernel. But in fact, this should not be required. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

Tell a minimum requirement for RAM for virtual machines (virtualbox)
Tell choice OS (8.2, 8.2-CURRENT or 9.0-CURRENT, FS (UFS or ZFS) and the minimum amount of RAM for use in such schemes: 1) the interaction of multiple routers with established quagga (bgpv4, bgpv6, ospf) 2) the work of two different modes of MYSQL replication servers/clusters. 3) backup zfs partitions/snapshots to a remote server Host machine - win7 64x with 6 GB of RAM Thank you for your advice. -- Vladislav V.

Hmm. perhaps I may be able to create and burn [both modes occurring in userland] with cdrtools. But certainly not to read or write in kernel mode yet AFAICT. I'll investigate udfclient, that is new to me as a userland tool. I was hoping for kernel level compatibility.

Re: UDF and DVD's
> Thoughts: please provide commands, full output, etc. that show how > you're trying to mount the disc, as well as relevant /dev entries > pertaining to your DVD drive. dmesg might also be helpful. And I > assume you have looked at mount_udf(8)? Apologies, it is late. However I used only the obvious. Hopefully obviously, my DVD drive is irrelevant in this case... mdconfig -f -o readonly mount_cd9660 -v -o ro /mnt ls -alR /mnt [*not* 2.5GiB of files, but...] cat /mnt/readme.txt This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification. umount -v /mnt mount_udf -v -o ro /mnt mount_udf: /dev/md[n]: Invalid argument [md dev is not mounted on /mnt] I think it's related to the UDF version of the image. As anyone can verify using my said images found on the internet, Perhaps it begs for a NetBSD port? I tested with: RELENG_8 i386. BTW, mdconfig is also broken in that it should take arguments regardless of position, but it does not.
