X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:36:34 -0000 i recently replaced my laptop with a mac, which opens the problem on how do i do FreeBSD development (including kernel work) on it. the option i am trying now is running a freebsd VM in virtualbox, but it is slightly slow and probably energy hungry. I'd like to keep the svn checkut outside the disk image but unfortunately the default filesystem on osx is case-insensitive so i can't do that -- unless someone shows me how to change the filesystem conventions. suggestions anyone ? cheers luigi
