Hi.

I'm really new to FreeBSD CURRENT - I've got a little inet last week (
in Russia we usually have dialup) and spent a day to cvsup all the
-current sources. I had 4.4 -RELEASE from a cdrom before. But let me say
a few words about my ``machine'' - I have a 166 MMX 5 years old
computer, which was not able to carry KDE 2.2, but easily swallowed 2.1.
BTW i overclocked comp as I first saw it, to 200 MHz. 

Well, I downloaded sources and began compilling. 1 hour - *** Error: 
you entered these __FBSDID in every source, but I had headers w/o them.
I replaced my system headers with /usr/src/include and tried to compile
again. 1 more hour - cc1: internal compiler error please submit a full
bug report. I should mention that 1 hour on my ``computer'' is only a
first stage of buildworld + groff, binutils and a half of gcc. Actually
I spent a day to work out an idea of replacing headers. 

So, day 2. compile-compile-compile. cc, make, sh - ev'rything got a
fatal SIFSEGV. I didn't know what to think - "Stallman wrote shit!!!" -
thought I, "Bourne with his shell are aresholes!!!", "Hulk Hogan should put
on anonimous author of make!!!". I was to compile evrything for 3 hours
and then get funny error messages. Imagine yourself on my place.

Day 3. tada. I installed new libc and some other libraries to get rid of
ld errors, but no recompilation of gcc reduced the amount of segfaults.
Day 3 was wasted on shouting russian ...a-a-a... equivalents of american
``f#ck'' - you know - but no progress.

And at last, day 4 - I tored cover from the box and downclocked CPU back
to 166 and - Even Imagine!!! - no errors from that times!!! 

Think about it: A desktop worked 3 years under M$ OS's and then from
July 2001 under FreeBSD, and no problems were at all with all programs,
so what struck on a box is builworld.

P.S. I want to learn BSD sources and could mail me about some
architectural overview of BSD? Not Unix in general, I already have
sources of Bell labs unix v5, v6 and v7 (1974-1976).
