multiple CPUTYPEs?

[unsafe at any speed]

Greetings folks,
Is it possible to have multiple /usr/obj directories compiled with 
different CPUTYPEs? A month or so ago I remember someone was having 
trouble installing onto a 486 from a system whose userland was compiled 
with i686 but whose /usr/obj was compiled with i486. Installworld was 
picking up a library from /usr/lib instead of /usr/obj//lib.

Anyway, I didn't see if that ever got resolved. I guess I could just try 
it, but I figured I'd ask first.

thanks,
Eric Hedstrom

Ok. The site is up, along with a main page that I was able to spend 
about 1 minute in creating. If we have any web developers who wish to 
enhance the site, feel free to mail me to help get the page started. If 
not, then I will get to it eventually, but I warn that it will not be in 
the near future as I'm extremely busy at the moment.

The site is at http://nvidia.netexplorer.org/

Sorry, I forgot to include this in my previous email.  The MD5
signature for the new 4.3-RC3 ISO image is:

4.3-RELEASE: One final delay

[Jordan Hubbard]

Sorry folks, we need just a little more time to pat everything into
place, including the package testing.  The release date is now
scheduled for April 20th, 2001.

I've also updated the 4.3-RC3 ISO image to contain Steve Price's
absolute most up-to-date package set, hopefully fixing the reported
issues with sysinstall's in-built package requirements and the KDE2
packages.

There will be one more -RC release for both the x86 and Alpha
platforms before the final release on the 20th.

Thanks,

- Jordan

You could, of course, set up a simple FTP server on
localhost, and let ``make release'' fetch the distfiles
that it needs itself.  That's what I do, kind of.  ;-)
So I never have to think about what distfiles it needs.

(Requires a small hack to the release Makefile so that
there's an appropriate setting for the MASTER_SITE in
the chroot's make.conf.)

I guess that was the wrong word.

Well, mine still works ;^)

Depends which GeForce and which Radeon.  In the UK a GeForce Ultra costs
about 340GBP compared with 170GBP for the Radeon VIVO.

I remember reading an email by one of the contracted glx/dri (?)
developers that he was trying to write the drivers in such a way
that it would work with *BSD too - I can't remember any details sadly,
I'll see if I can find the email.

See my config - it exists there already. Also does not help.

P.S. There is no need for overquote.

P.P.S. I ask again: can anybody send me text or URL for PHK's

concept?

HP PC Lan+ cards (27247B) unsupported?

[Sergey A. Osokin]

Hello.
Yesterday I tried to install 4.2-RELEASE on 486 with
HP PC Lan+ ISA card (27247B). FreeBSD (kern.flp and
mfsroot.flp) boot successfully from floppies, but
card not defined.
I looked at the GENERIC kernel and set defined vars
for network card (like IRQ/IO etc.) with hplanset
tool from HP.
Card still not recognise.
Any idea?
Does this card still supported hardware for FreeBSD?

Regarding #3, little note:  I don't believe any linux compat would be involved
at all.  The "module" for XFree86 4 should be architecture-specific, but
OS neutral (i.e. you have to be running i386, but it doesn't care if you're
using linux, freebsd, darwin, etc)  The kernel module, if ported, would have
to be FreeBSD-native.  

The only linux-compat usage would come in if you wanted to play all of those
binary-only games that probably started this whole discussion, in which case
you'd have to build a linux libGL.so to talk via DRI to your FreeBSD XFree86,
which I believe /usr/ports/graphics/linux_glx does for you.

Just some tidbits.
