Rsync should suit your needs.

The port was updated yesterday, which allowed transcode to build successfully on my system. http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/transcode/ Have you updated your ports since then? ~Jason ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You will want to start with XP, since it seems to require being the first slice on the disk. Just make sure you don't let the XP install use the whole disk. You can then choose either FreeBSD or Ubuntu to be the second slice, it's really a matter of preference. Personally, I installed FreeBSD second, then added Ubuntu to the end as an afterthought. Note: when using this install sequence, Ubuntu will install GRUB as a boot loader, which will recognize XP just fine, but will ignore FreeBSD (at least it did pre-Hardy Heron). You will have to edit the GRUB config manually to make your FreeBSD install available in the GRUB menu. It's not difficult, but it does add an extra step. Also, be sure to keep a backup of your modified GRUB config---it seems that each time Ubuntu decides it needs to perform a significant update, it replaces the GRUB config with the default, making FreeBSD once again inaccessible. There is probably a way to prevent this, but I never got around to investigating it.

I know it's not pleasant, but make sure all of your ports are updated (if they aren't already). There were some significant changes that had to happen to get FF3 running; namely, poppler and everything that depends on it. > I did experience this, and I had to tweak the following settings in > about:config before the experience became usable: > > network.http.pipelining: true > network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 10 > network.http.pipelining.ssl: true > > The image loading and display code seems to have changed significantly, > and some unintended behaviour seems to have been introduced. (I also > get ugly black boxes images if there is an resized image in the loaded > page.) I also get the annoying black boxes. I haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but it seems to happen most often with resized png images. That could just be a result of the pages I visit though; they seem to use pngs quite extensively. As for performance problems, I have noticed that FF3 is slower than FF2 at loading pages with many images, and I've had a lot of trouble with Flash (as usual). But the problems are not so significant that I've been forced to uninstall it. I wonder if your settings will help ... ~Jason ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
