Hi! I have a copy of FreeBSD 2.2.5; is it worth upgrading to 2.2.6? I would like to try KDE, but this doesn't seem to be in the 2.2.5 ports collection (either on the Walnut Creek CD-ROMs or on ftp.freebsd.org in /pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/ports/ports.tgz). This is the same for some other programs as well. Do I need to upgrade to 2.2.6 (or FreeBSD-current) to run these extra ports, or can I just use the stuff in /pub/FreeBSD/ports-current? (How much disk space does KDE take up?) Also, I am trying to get a Soundblaster 64 AWE card to work; I recompiled the kernel, adding the following: # Sound Card controller snd0 options "SBC_IRQ=5" device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr #device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr # I changed this line because irq 7 didn't work and Windows 95 said irq 5. device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 However, on rebooting I got the following: <... etc.> sb0 not found at 0x220 sbxvi0 not found sbmidi0 not found at 0x330 imasks: bio c0004040, tty c003149a, net c003149a <etc. ...> What am I doing wrong? Do I need an additional driver/kernel patch? Do I need to upgrade to 2.2.6 or FreeBSD-current? Thanks. Ben.
