Recent ports behavior (fetch)
Recently I have noticed that one of the following happens if you interrupt a fetch during a ports 'make' (say because you have a dialup and the port is downloading an 18M file): 1. Fetch runs in the background and you have to stop it multiple times. 2. Fetch leaves a truncated file in /usr/ports/distfiles which much be deleted by hand. Is there any chance for a return to the old behavior (cntl-C stops fetch, file deleted) for 4.1? It's a lot friendlier for us dial-up folk... - Mike H.

Re: Has anybody built MySQL lately?
I dont know at which version they added it , but in 3.23.21 it warns you about compiling sql_yacc.cc , if you run configure with --with-low-memory I think it leaves it at -O6 but changes a -f option that makes a big difference to the memory use while compiling.

RE: Has anybody built MySQL lately?
Title: RE: Has anybody built MySQL lately? I had a similar issue with 3.22.32 on 4.0-RELEASE on a P175 w/192MB of RAM. It would get to sql_yacc.c and spin for _days_. I tried manually compiling the file with -02 and it still spun for 2-3 days before I killed it. Odd thing was that watching ps/pstat, the compiler would only rack up 2-3 seconds of CPU time every minute and the machine idle stayed well over 50% and the load average less than 2. -=- Mark Gooderum [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Luke Hollins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2000 9:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Has anybody built MySQL lately?

Any suggestions?
You say you did a buildkernel. Did you specify a kernel name? If not,
you can try GENERIC.
Boot to the boot prompt ("ok") and enter "boot GENERIC -s". That
should load and boot a kernel named 'GENERIC'. If you specified a
kernel name to buildkernel and installkernel, use that name in place
of 'GENERIC'.
You can always boot this way, although, if the 'kernel' file exists,
you need to so an 'unload' before booting.

Re: agp and 3dfx
XFree86-4 has been updated to the newest version. It has a kld named tdfx.ko that must be installed into /modules/. When you load X, it will load dri, agp, and tdfx all for you. There is also a 3dfx.ko to work with /dev/3dfx. This is provided to support device accesses for glide programs, like quake3 and all. It currently has some issues with the Voodoo3 and Banshee hardware, but I could use another tester. It is part of -CURRENT, and will most likely panic your box, but some output sent to me about the crash would be helpful. Actually, if anyone has an old agp 3dfx card they'dl ike to donate for this development, it would be helpful. I have been testing it with my voodoo2 board with much success, but I have had some responses from users with Voodoo3's that say that they haven't gotten it to work. Nawfal M. Rouyan had the audacity to say: hi all, How do one make use of the new agp driver? Recently, there were discussions on the new 3dfx driver.
