Re: Root shell
Why is this not a good idea? The only reason I can think of it that you want your root shell on the root hard drive. As many system use a separate partition for /usr and that bash installs to /usr/local/bin per default I can see how that can cause troubles. But are there any other reasons? Unstability in bash? Unexpected behaivor causing more harm in a root shell?

Is there any other reason except for that? As I see it that problem can easily be solved by copying bash to the root file system. Also many systems today have the root and /usr on the same file system. ___ 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
Re: badblocks on sata drive
If a modern hard drive begins to let bad blocks through it's internal block relocation mechanics have failed. I recommend to take backup on everthing on that disk because this is usually a sign that the disk will die shortly.

Re: X, dbus and hal - how to?
After reading freebsd.org/gnome FAQs and hal FAQs my impression is that dbus and hal must be run on the clients box, not on the server. Can somebody confirm this? AFAIK that is correct. ___ 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
