Hello FreeBSD friends. I have been learning 5.3 FreeBSD on an old pentium 75 box on the last weeks. The main target for this system is to have a light weight window manager to surf the Internet and read emails. I have even compiled the kernel to include sound drivers. The system works pretty well with the fluxbox wm, links and dillo WEB browsers, and sylpheed for email. This system is the mix result of old hardware I have received from friends, and even a CD-Writer and a spare 4GB hard disk I got from my main computer (as I bought a DVD writer and have another 40GB drive). I has been a great experience to get things working, and learning at the same time. The great problem is that the machine is very slow for compiling :-( Well, the system has got a CD-R and a CD-RW unit. The CD-R unit is an old unit by Goldstar (I do not know what speed it is) and is placed as "master". The CD-RW unit is a LG model 3 years old and is s "slave". I tried to listen some music CD on the CD-R drive and got the following error messages: #cdcontrol -v -f /dev/acd0 play 1 acd0:FAILURE - PLAY_MSF ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x21 ascq=0x00 error=4<ABORTED> dmesg line for the drive at boot time is: acd0 CDROM <GCD-R540C/1.01> at ata1-master BIOSPIO The CD-RW drive works nicely with cdcontrol. If you need more information, I will be pleased to help. Even if you need the CD-R unit for development, it is yours. Thanks. Ramiro.
