The one in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver-173. I have to use this for the aging
FX 5200.

I developed a small molecular dynamics simulation under Linux some time ago.
Since recently moving to FreeBSD I thought that I'd try to get it running
here, too.
However, although I am able to get the code to build, it dumps core --
apparently before getting to any user code! During the build (

Yes, indeed. Sorry.

Sorry if this is well-known. I have googled but came up with nothing. (I am
relatively new to FreeBSD.)
I am running 8.0-RELEASE. I am trying to build VLC with
# cd /usr/ports
# make install clean
But I get the message:
===> vlc-1.0.3_4,3 is marked as broken: doesn't build with dirac.
*** Err
I am running 8.0-RELEASE.
I am able to mount an nfsv4 share on a Debian GNU/Linux server, but I cannot
write to it. I realise that nfsv4 is experimental on FreeBSD, but I am
tantalisingly close to getting it working and thought that someone here could
advise, or point me to some (web) reference
Thanks to all for your detailed and informative replies to my questions. I
have many new things to try out.

Thanks. Its good to be here!

I recently installed FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE on my home desktop and am considering
making the switch from Debian GNU/Linux.
I have a few questions which I am hoping the list can clarify for me.
1.) Keeping installed ports/packages up to date.
As far as I can tell from the docs, perhaps the most co
12 matches
