In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! After the thread i want to ask some questions . 1 - Suppose ,for example, i have FreeBSD-2.1.5 with ,for example, sendmail version x.y.z . If i ftp from a.b.c the newest sendmail, unpack it in /usr/src and compile it , have i FreeBSD-2.1.5 or "FreeBSD-matra"? 2 - Why ports? I have installed many programs (nvi,vile,diffutils,a prolog compiler) from various srcs without problems ! 3 - FreeBSD's libc is different from the linux libc; Where can i get the src for it ? Wat about libg++ ?Can anyone give me information about diffs between linux-libc and freebsd-libc? 4 - Finally ; I have 2.2.0 src dist from ftp.freebsd.org ; When i try to compile it , this is the result : "Makefile", line 324:Could not find bsd.kern.mk And the /usr/sbin/config says : UNKNOWN % construct in generic makefile :%SFILES Have i to upgrade the config program ? 5 - Where can i get newest version of gcc/libc/libg++ ? Can i use sup for this purpose ? 6 - The last : using ppa driver for a zip-100 can i newfs an UFS fs on a 100MB disk ? Uff... so much things to do and so little time available .... cul8r_ ____ _____ _____ ____..______/|__________/|__________/|______ | || |(_ _)| _ || | ..______/|__________/|__________/|____ | || o | | | | [ ] || o | ..______/|__________/|__________/|__ |_>_>_||__|_| |_| |__|\_\|__|_| ..______/|__________/|__________/| e-mail :matra@diemme.it ,irc (efnet-euro) ,voice :+39-984-780347 (ITALY) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
