squeeze freeBSDs' kernel size

2001-05-06 Thread Aman
kldstat shows the kernel as a loaded module. does it mean the kernel after getting in the core is resident to it's complete physical size. my question is, does the pagedaemon carry out any sort of paging or segmentation on the kernel and it's loadable modules though the latter seems necessary. ho

/dev/ptmx equivalent for Linux ABI?

2001-05-06 Thread Niek Bergboer
Hi, The installation of the commercial product Matlab R12 under FreeBSD works perfectly with the Linux ABI, thanks to whoever coded up this ABI! The single remaining problem is that Matlab expects to find a Linux-like /dev/ptmx (a pseudo terminal master mux). Failure to find this device results
