Give me a few weeks of asking dumb questions, and you'll probably be avoiding your in-box... I built many of the ports I was interested in, and that seemed to go fairly well. I tried to do a buildworld of the latest /usr/src, and that dies while trying to build libasn1 in kerberos5, with an 'Abort trap (core dumped)' in cc. However, I was able to do a complete build/install cycle if I started with the snapshot of /usr/src which was installed by the CD. It looks like that /usr/src might include a few important changes which haven't been committed yet. Also, I was wondering if there's a way to "window-back" on a console session, like one does on i386 using scroll-lock. Hmm. And after running this for a few days without any problem, including a few buildworld attempts, the machine just locked up on me. Is there some key sequence which would trigger a dump? Would a dump be of any use? (the hang might be due to something I did. I was typing at the time, and I may have hit some combination of the option or command-key with some other keys, when I meant to be hitting the control-key with them). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
