It was FFS for the reason discussed in this thread. The version of OpenBSD was 5.0. I do not remember the Linux kernel version but it looks very unlikely to me that they dropped support for FFS.
5.5 installer does not recognize USB keyboard on Acer Iconia W700
Hi, I'm trying to install OpenBSD on Acer Iconia W700. It has one USB port and no other input ports, so it is only possible to attach a USB keyboard to this device. I've got stuck at the installer prompt: pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 uhub2 at uhub0 port 1 "vendor 0x8087 product 0x0024" rev 2.00/0.00 addr 2 "vendor 0x04ca product 0x3008" rev 1.10/0.01 addr 3 at uhub2 port 1 not configur ed "SunplusIT INC.

(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? At this point I can't type anything because it seems like keyboard was not recognized. Unfortunately for the same reason I can only provide the last 25 lines of the output (I hope I did not mess anything up trying to type that here). I can also boot into config mode: UKC> find uhidev 171 uhidev* at uhub*|uhub* port -1 configuration -1 interface -1 vendor -1 produ ct -1 release -1 flags 0x0 but I do not have any experience working in this mode and I do not have other computer right now to try to compare configurations which could probably provide some hints. I've also found an old disk with Slackware 13.37 and it woks with this keyboard without any problems. Any help at this point would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Can command-line options be specified in any place?
Hi, I'm considering migrating my desktop from Linux to OpenBSD but the main feature that kept me away from *BSD world for over a decade since I've first tried FreeBSD was the one that options must only be specified after command before any arguments. (At least that is true for basic commands). For example on Linux a command ls -l foo -h will print the foo's size with suffix (K, M, G, etc.). On *BSD (including Mac OS X) I get error message: ls: -h: No such file or directory Is there an easy way to get the desired behavior on OpenBSD? If that can only be achieved by patching system's sources is there a standard way to maintain my personal set of patches so that they will be automatically applied every time I upgrade system? Best regards, Vadim.

It's not that I want specifically Linux. I've just decided to look for a system that cat satisfy me from the usability point of view. I do not care if that will be Linux or *BSD or Solaris or whatever else. The main idea was that the work with the system should be a pleasure, not a pain :)
Re: Can command-line options be specified in any place?
Sorry I really did not want to start any flame. I just thought that getting answer from the mailing list would be faster than spending my time studying source code of the new system. > What you should do is relearn the proper way. :-) Ok, let me turn my question the other way around. Suppose I typed ls -l /some/very/long/path/to/file and the file is too big so I want to use -h option. I use a text terminal so I can not use mouse to position cursor. How people usually handle this on *BSD systems?

Re: Can command-line options be specified in any place?
I understood the idea, but please keep in mind that I'm just a regular user, not OS developer. I just pick features I find useful no matter how wrong they look. That was a "stop or go" kind of question because I do not want to spend a lot of time reading manual and experimenting with stuff just to end up in an environment I'm not comfortable with. Now I have my question answered and I decided to give it a try. Thanks to everyone who replied.
Re: Can command-line options be specified in any place?
> Why don't you use aliases ? It's not about 'ls' only: I've just used it as an example. I noticed that after running a command with one set of options sometimes I want to add another option(s). For some reason this is important for me to the extent that I have not become a FreeBSD user when I had a chance.

So I would recommend XRackPro http://www.xrackpro.com/ . I did not have any problems with casters, but I've got mine in 2007 (I believe) and current models seem to have a little bit different casters.
