Because the development track i= s 5.xxxx and that is where new
things are going. The 4.xxxx track get= s necessary bug and
security fixes, etc now, but not any major new fe= atures.
The 4.xxxx track will soon be completely replaced by 5.xxxx. =

Just dump(8) it to a tape or other disk, create a new UFS2 file
system where the UFS2 now lives and then restore(8) the dump.

a) Where does the music come from? CD, MP3, WAV, MIDI?=
b) What kind of machine do you have? If you want to play Audio-CDs,
= you
can often plug headphones or speakers to the front-panel of a CD-=
drive.
Otherwise you need a sound "card", either on-board or as an ad=
d-on-card.
Also, if you want to list to MP3, your machine has to be f= ast
enough
(P100 and faster, if I am not mistaken)
On my mach= ine, I listen to MP3s a lot. It's an Athlon XP 2400+
with
256MB RAM a= nd a Soundblaster 64 or 128 PCI, running FreeBSD
5.2-RELEASE: playing= MP3s has almost no visible effect on system
performance. The sounds = gets laggy, when the system is under
*really
heavy* load. But I mean = extremely heavy - compiling programs or
rebuilding the system has no = notable effect. =3D) Also, I store
my MP3s on
a second machine and sh= are them with my desktop-machine via NFS,
so if I
put the network und= er heavy load, playback gets laggy, too,
sometimes.
But the network o= nly consists of the two machines (the other one
is
Athlon 700 / 160 M= B RAM / NetBSD 1.6.2_RC4) connected via
100Mbit-Ethernet, so this hap= pens very rarely, too.
If your machine is fast enough, and if you= have a soundcard that
works
with FreeBSD, you should have no trouble= listening to music.
If you have a soundcard installed, you just need= to add the line
"device pcm"
to your kernel-config, recompile th= e kernel and there you go. Now
all
you need is a program to play musi= c. I use xmms (www.xmms.org, or
you
can install it via ports, too). <= BR>
Back in summer, I had FreeBSD 5.0 installed on a Pentium III 450 w=
ith
256 MB RAM, listening to MP3s was fine, too.
And both machine= s are *far* above the minimum requirements. A
Pentium
133 with 64MB R= AM should be sufficient, unless you want to run
"big
boys" alongside = (KDE, Mozilla, ...)
I am not quite sure what you mean by latency,= but FreeBSD is a
multi-user, multi-tasking operating system, so even= with many
things
going on at the same time, music-playback works fin= e, if your
machine is
fast enough.

I'm listening mp3's (with mpg123) on a old 200 MHz Pentium box, w=

XFree86 and a lot of other stuff is running at the same time. No <=

No. FreeBSD comes with its own sound drivers = (see pcm(4)).
Most sound chips are supported right out of the box.
Good luck.

Maximum number of dynamic rules. When
you hit = this limit, no more dynamic rules can be
installed until old ones exp= ire.
Default on my FBSD 4.9 box with (options IPFW2 in
kernel= config) is 4096.
It may be helpful to tweak this setting or adju= st the
expire time.(net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_ack_lifetime). There
are o= ther sysctl knobs you can tweak. Check the man
page.

The p= ermissions of /usr/bin/passwd should be:

Hello, I've been grappling with a problem I've got =
where my PXE booted kernel loads via TFTP and then
fails to initi= alize the console.
I verified that I do not have this problem und= er 4.9.
I suspect that the pxeloader is incapable of loading
the = requisite kernel modules over the wire.
So, I know that FBSD 5 ha= s moved to a modular kernel,
but is it still possible to build a mono= lithic one?
If so, how?
Thanks again,
Peter

The L in ALSA stands for Linux ... so I h= ighly doubt it. It might
be
possible to code such a thing for the Lin= ux ABI emulation, but I
don't
believe it has been done.
