Re: 4.2-stable, ports/packages in XF86 4.0.2

2000-12-30 Thread Kal Torak

 2.  The Netscape Communicator 4.76 package (from CD 1 of
 the 4.2 set) will not install, complaining about the lack
 of a.out X libraries.  The "previous" installation of
 Netscape would not start, leaving a log message of not
 being able to find ld.so.6 (iirc).
 
 /etc/make.conf has XFREE86_VERSION=4 defined.
 
 Ideas?  These start looking like port/package problems...  (?)

I found that Netscape 4.76 wouldn't compile with the newer a.out libs
and I had to install the older ones to make it work...

I find that I need to add:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH_AOUT}

   to get Netscape to install and run. Since Netscape is still in
   the a.out time frame, I can see why it doesn't look for
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH_AOUT. Still, an ELF format Netscape would be
   nice...
 
 /etc/make.conf has XFREE86_VERSION=4 defined.

This simply causes /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 directory and
   dependencies to be cleaned. Otherwise, /usr/ports/x11/XFree86
   (currently 3.3.6) is being cleaned.

Did you install XFree86-4.0.2 from the package or the 
   ports collection? I get compile errors with pthread and Xthreads
   when I attempt to install in from the ports collection, which
   makes it rather difficult to install...

  Does anyone know the MS/IBM approved codes for the various types
  
  6 = DOS FAT16

  FAT32 and FAT16 are both 6.

 Actually I think you can specify FAT16 as 4
 Maybe not, I just seem to remember it like that...

165 = FreeBSD
  ? = others
 
  There might be a special value for a hibernate partition.  I don't
  know it, though.

 The only others I know are:
 131 = Linux ext2fs
 130 = Linux swap
 99 = ISC Unix

 All the IBM laptops I have seen use a file on a standard FAT16 or 32
 partition for hibernating, that doesn't mean thats for all of them,
 but chances are it would be a file rather than a whole partition...

 DOS fdisk will allow only 4 partitions on a drive, only one of
 these can be a primary partition, the others have to be extended
 partitions... So long as you didnt create the DOS partitions with
 sysinstall it shouldn't care about them

Correction:. You are allowed 4 primary partitions, one of which can be 
extended and can contain logical partititons.
