dd if=/dev/wd0a of=root.img bs=32m [or compress it using: dd if=/dev/wd0a bs=32m | gzip > root.img.gz] and dd if=root.img of=/dev/wd0a bs=32m [decompression: gzip -d -c root.img.gz | dd of=/dev/wd0a bs=32m] And yes, you can ommit additional values. Dnia piD, 4 lis 2011, 17:43:28 Bambero pisz

Re: Using TrinityDesktop to replace KDE3

2011-11-02 Thread Marc Smith
KDE3 was super cool. I used it on OpenBSD all the time, left it when KDE4 happened and moved to XFCE4 and some spartan WMs. Gnome was never my pair of shoes. Porting this [TrinityDesktop] to OpenBSD is an absolutely great idea! W dniu 02.11.2011 12:49, Amit Kulkarni pisze: > On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at

It would be nice to have an official report, but IIRC there have been many news on the net explaining results of this audit. It actually said what happened and what didn't happen. Looks like response to me. Probobly that is not sufficient for you and that's ok. The problem is that after this observ

Personally, I use it only in clients workplaces [fixing their installations], My OS of choice is usually BSD, Linux or other open source operating system.

As Tomas already wrote, sysadmin's main lang is EN and that would probobly not change in anytime soon. Beside that, OpenBSD can't be really used by non-english speaking users when there's no "easy", or "simple" one-clik/one command way to enable localization, and the whole localization doesn't seem
