In-Reply-To: <37CD67C7.961B4E7F@intercom.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ok, this is the 3rd email I've seen on -questions today with a question that makes someone willing to provide an answer have go through hoops to help out the person posing the question. The reason these questions go unanswered is because the question is about something a lot of people haven't heard about and no URL is given to help someone formulate an answer. Normally these questions would probably go unanswered but i'm giving the two of you a second chance. specifically in re: Jason J. Horton asked: Has anyone gotten CUPS to compile on FreeBSD? This links page has a link to freebsd.org, but no where in thier docs do they say they support it, and a make dies very early in the compile process. and Raghuveerreddy asked: I just want to know whether FreeBsd firwall conforms to the norms of ICSA. and I respond: give me a URL to these things (CUPS/ICSA), dammit. c'mon throw me a bone here, can anyone do that? ok? thanks, -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@rush.net|alfred@freebsd.org] Wintelcom systems administrator and programmer - http://www.wintelcom.net/ [bright@wintelcom.net] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
