I've never had trouble with X.Org configurations thankfully. Also I'm starting to wish I had a more powerful PPC box - srsly I should not have to build ViM of all things ;) (i want my modeline back too btw) > >- Get SXEmacs >=20 > I'd love to see that running on PPC :) Last time I looked at > Emacs, there was quite a bit of build glue to get it going. > Too complicated for my patience at the time. I'm your man then. I work with the SXEmacs project. We already boast support for building on PPC/Darwin so given how much has been shared between the two it's not a huge leap to assume it can be made to work on PPC/FreeBSD relatively easily. :) Also, our build system is standard autotooled - aclocal, autoconf, configure, make, make install. It also has a Gentoo ebuild which I wrote (and which the project lead thought was impractical to do, but i proved him wrong haha) so theoretically it could even end up in ports if I figure out how to make a port. > >- Try and get the AIX/PPC binaries for Netscape Communicator > 4 to run ;) > Now, doing an AIX binary emulation for FreeBSD is certainly a > large task :) FreeBSD should already have AIX binary emulation layers ...=20 If not, anywhere else I can get Netscape Communicator in a PPC binary form that will run on FreeBSD? It's important that it's Communicator and not say Mozilla or one of the opensourced forks.=20 > later, >=20 > Peter.
