Send-pr will remind me. I'm the only FreeBSD user in my department, if not in the whole university :(. This send-pr is a typical FreeBSD thing and I have no permission to send email directly from my FreeBSD PC. Trying to send such a pr (I tried before) will not get me anywhere; and that only to tell you again what I already have told you in the earlier email. So I'm willing to help; but without that send-pr stuff. Sorry; I like FreeBSD very much, except this send-pr thing. The patch for /usr/ports/net/etherboot/pkg-descr: Replace: cd work/etherboot/src cat bin/boot1a.bin bin/<device>.zrom > /dev/fd0 By: # cd /usr/ports/net/etherboot # make patch # cd work/etherboot-5.2.4/src # gmake bin/<device>.dsk # dd if=bin/<device>.dsk of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync However, I'm confused why, on the 4th line, only gmake works, whereas make ends with an error. This breaks with the way ports should work, doesn't it? Rob. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
