Cleaning /tmp on boot
Hi, Is there an easy way to have FreeBSD (RELEASE-5.3) clean /tmp on boot by means of setting a flag or something in /etc/rc.conf? I'd like to check before I start manually hacking up my boot scripts to get this done. Alternatively, is there something similar to tmpfs from Linux available on FreeBSD? I've heard about mfs but it statically allocates memory from the VM, I'd prefer if allocation was done only as needed on demand. -- Paul Richards ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Items exist in ports, but not as packages.
Well I hit a few compile errors which I had to tweak the source code to fix. My ports tree is the stock one which comes on the 5.3-RELEASE cds and so perhaps it's a little old. There's no harm in having to tweak source every now and again. :) It builds character.

Items exist in ports, but not as packages.
Hi, I've been trying to install a few packages using 'pkg_add -r' but I have found that there are a few which only exist as ports, and not packages. The main one which I am missing is 'vtk-tcl'. Is it generally the case that the precompiled packages are not always available when the ports are? According to freshports.org I should be able to use 'pkg_add -r' for vtk-tcl. Unfortunately I am only allowed (by the girlfriend) to play with FreeBSD on an old 1 gig disk and so I don't have the space to install ports. Are there any other sources of precompiled packages which I could use? Is there a way to install just the portion of the ports tree which I need? -- Paul Richards ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
