At the moment I'm trying to get the >latest Xorg server port running. Nothing too exciting. Now that I know I *can* install it, I might re-parition the whole thing to have multiple FreeBSD installs. That has saved me several times when developing on i386 and sparc64! And I want to set up some of my "standard programs" (which doesn't include X...), like bash, rsync, and subversion. And there's some other changes I'm working on, where I would like to at least test-compile on PPC before I do anything with them. I'd also like to try OpenBSD/macppc on it, just to see how close that comes to working. And of course, I also have some MacOS-related things to test. This Mac-mini is in my office, and if it works out well then I'll probably buy another one to replace a G4 cube that I am still using for some things at home. >>Oh, one more thing I noticed.

FreeBSD ignores the partition >type and doesn't change it. Actually, what I'm the most worried about is that the MacOS 10 side thinks that is a perfectly nice, empty, usable partition. Is there any good way to hide those partitions from MacOS 10? (I guess I could just unmount them at startup). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
