- Something else:
- cdio(1) can now perform track-at-once burning and rewritable
blanking. - 
- Is it planed to create a own CD Burn application on OpenBSD?
- I`ve read a lot peoples do have problems with cdrtools (lets name it
- Debian and others) and even forked cdrtools. But except of this cdio
- provides a lot functionality already and now burning support was
added too - that`s why I ask.

- To the best of my knowledge, cdio *is* a CD burning application.

Well I`m sorry I`ve read the manpage (and updated to a 4.0 snapshot
btw) and you4re right.
Even it doesn`t look like all the other stuff in OpenBSD.. it looks
like a audioplayer with a added burning-function wich reminds me to
the emacs-concept...

- OpenBSD does not support a large amount of memory, as far as I know.
- Link:

-This has recently changed.

- I didn`t found somethign wich mentions this on the plus.html
- So: Is that fixed now? I`ve 2GB RAM and would like to buy some more
(AMD64). -
-Yes, this should work.

During an Answer at undeadly somebody told me it does NOT work.
http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=articlesid=20060901015409mode=expanded

Could somebody maybe verify this? And why is it such a issue to deal
with more memory (specialy on AMD64 wich should have less limitations
then i386?!).

Kind regards,
Sebastian

 get deactivated or run with different Speeds to save Energy.
 This would be in fact an advantage and will appear even for home-users
 some day I think.

This has been discussed already, I believe in the last week. Search the
archives.

Yes, this should work.

 Last but not least:
 Has Henning something in the backhand?
 He owns openhttpd.org for some months now.. :)

People are making all sorts of speculations, but I am not aware of the
answer.

Nothing happens on the CVS list, though, and presumably Henning is busy
enough already.

According to that message, setperf isn't currently SMP safe.
