PeerGuardian or Something Similar
Dear Fellow FreeBSD Users, I stumbled upon a program called PeerGuardian, whose website is: http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ The program is an IP blocker with the purpose of protecting your identity on P2P applications. Is there a similar program available in the ports collection? It looks like i2p in net-p2p may do this job? If so, I guess I would have to remake ctorrent with i2p, assuming it is even supported.

linux-firefox
Hi, I have ran into a problem that I haven't encountered yet. I'm in process of reinstalling BSD after a hardware failure. I was using www/linux-firefox-devel at first because I wanted verision 3. After discouving www/linux-firefox has been changed from 2 to 3, I uninstalled the devel version and replaced it with linux-firefox. The devel version did worked. However when I type linux-firefox in xterm, nothing happens. It doesn't start and I receive no error messages. Now what do I do? I am using kernal 7.1, linprocfs is mounted, all of the listed dependences are meet and the ports tree is the most current version. I would try www/firefox35 but I am plugin happy. Thank you for help.

Sony DSC Digital Camera
Hi, I am able to mount the camera (in 7.1-p6), but I am unable to read the jpeg images. Varies programs claim that the file is not a valid jpeg. I found a few pages on the internet discussing how to tell FreeBSD how to mount the camera. Since I am already able to mount, these do not seem relevant. Any ideas?

X and optimizing Kernel Resources
Hi, Is there a guide that talks about how to optimize the kernel memory resources (kern.ipc.shmmax, etc)? -- Christopher Chambers ccha...@interchange.ubc.ca ___ 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
Converting the partition type
Hi, I have an msdos partition with a large amount of data.

Oh well. Thanks guys.

CD Burning
I have found that burning software is unable to detect my cdrom. I would assume that this is because acd0 is listed in fstab as read-only. I am just a little worried that changing it to rw might wreck a cd (already burnt) one day. Since cp or mv to /cdrom won't work, I guess my fear is unjustified hey? -- Christopher Chambers ccha...@interchange.ubc.ca ___ 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's interaction with MS-DOS partitions
Hi, I have noticed that some programs have trouble interacting with my ms-dos partition. For example, I attempted to download a torrent with ctorrent. Works perfectly if I am saving to the bsd partition but my whole system freezes if I use the ms-dos partition. I mount it in /etc/fstab as /dev/ad0s2 /d msdosfs rw 0 0 Is this behaviour the result of the 0 0? -- Christopher Chambers ccha...@interchange.ubc.ca ___ 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
