I downloaded the ISO image and used it to do a local network install.
The initial installation went ok, but several of the 110 or so ports
that I typically build failed this time. Technically the ports may not
be part of the FreeBSD 4.9-release, but since a specific set is included
in the distribution these errors may be of some interest:
1) /usr/ports/audio/mpg123:
Building with "make WITH_NAS=yes WITH_ICONV=yes" failed because
some referenced iconv header file was not already installed.
The workaround is to install iconv before mpg123.
2) /usr/ports/audio/xmp:
Installation generates and error message about not finding an
xmms configuration file. The workaround seems to be to install
xmms before xmp.
3) /usr/ports/games/cgoban:
The compilation of net.c generates error messages about conflicting
declarations of `butRnet_create' and `butRnet_destroy'.
I have not attempted to debug this error. I don't know of any
workaround.
Everything else seemed ok, including the ICH5 SATA controller in native
mode. I don't claim to have worked the system very hard.
