Hello, Not long ago I wrote in about my attempt to compile KDE3 from ports failing during libmng build. The advice I was given was, stick with the STABLE tree (I was using 5.0) and try "make index" from /usr/ports. I decided to install 4.7 STABLE,and try again. The first time, I installed all possible distributions, and then after updatuing src and ports through cvsup, I did a "pkg_delete *" and then "make install" for XFree86 (which always works fine) and KDE3. KDE3 failed building libmng again. So I tried reinstalling, this time without installing any packages (custom install, only base, ports, src and docs/man), theorizing that perhaps the problem was files left behind by pkg_delete. Once again, even with an up to date src and ports, and having done a "make index" after update, the build fails during build of libmng. Ok, so I have determined that the problem is not version specific, and that it is not caused by incomplete uninstall of packages. I have used script to record the error output, but this brings me to my next problem - no matter what I do, I can't get FreeBSD to mount a dos floppy, which I would use to save the script output for mailing in with my problem under a different OS. "The Complete FreeBSD", OnLamp, and the handbook have done little to help with this problem. I have tried "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy" (and yes, I did create a /floppy dir first), and the response is this: msdos: /dev/fd0: invalid argument I have tried "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy", which returns mount: /dev/fd0 on /floppy: incorrect superblock I attempted using mtools, as built from ports, whic returned an error because I am not using Linux emulation. Upon deciding to install Linux Base from ports, I came to the question, "Which one?" Linux Base, or Linux Base 6? The system I am using is a Cyrix MII 266 MMX processor, 192 megs of RAM, a 40 gig hard disk, 5 gigs allocated for FreeBSD, and 1 gig swap. If I left anything out, please let me know. If I can get a floppy mounted, I can mail in the script output, and hopefully, I can get KDE3 to finish compiling. Please help. Thanks in advance.
