Freebsd macbook: Cut-and-paste in Icewm?
Hi again, (My macbook is now a freebsd machine with 90% of my favorite programs built and running... Yay! Thanks to the community and the list! To get octave I needed to symlink f77-gfortran and use gmake instead of make, but otherwise everything went swimmingly once I figured out gpart.) Question -- I would like to have generic cut-and-paste in my icewm X session, but I have the single button funky macintosh set up. Is there a tutorial on how to set this up? I don't mind using the keyboard while I click and drag and whatever, but I haven't a clue where to start with setting that up.

2. How can I lose the GPT? When I run # gpart destory ad5 I get gpart: Device busy. I presume that it is because / is mounted to run the livefs CD. So ... Not quite, if you run gpart show you should get a list of stuff on ad5, so before you can destroy the GPT you have to delete the stuff using it,a quick example using an md device: (reminder just in case, this will remove ANY partitions on the disk, but you already know that :) Bingo -- I cleared the partitions (gpart delete XXX) and then installed from CD without a hitch.

FreeBSD only on MacBook? Having problems...
(x posted to http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=8827, my apologies, but no one seems interested there...) I am trying to follow the steps to install FreeBSD 8.0 on my MacBook. I don't want to dual boot or anything, so I am following along here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook...15739bad407a8a (Note that earlier I managed to stomp all over the slices trying to partition without reading the directions...) However, it doesn't match my experience exactly, and I don't really have the FreeBSD background to compensate (long time Linux user, and never very hardware focused at all), so here are some starting questions (Note I am in the Fixit shell from the livefs CD): 1. Is gpart the same as gpt? 2. How can I lose the GPT? When I run # gpart destory ad5 I get gpart: Device busy. I presume that it is because / is mounted to run the livefs CD. So ... 3. Umm, what do I do now If I run gpart show ad5 I get a bunch of stuff which I would have to type in manually -- let me know which pieces are important and I will do it.
