ports, as ftp.FreeBSD.org no longer carry a checked out ports tree.
The burden on the box of people mirroring the tens of thousands of files,
prevented ordinary users from accessing the site.
yesterday and even though I haven't worked myself through all problems
yet, I'm going to stick with it. I fixed the PS/2 mouse problem and now
only have to get X working and see why the wi driver behaves so badly.
X apparently works if I take the latest server and I doubt the wi
problems (lot's of timeouts and resets without really any throughput)
are really hardware related. I think it relates to power states more
than anything else (ok, one may call that hardware :-)
Anyway, the problems with my old notebook were too annoying that the
looking turned into buying before I could say "patience my young
apprentice". Granted, I don't normally say that so even if I waited a
month this would hold :-)
announcement to match the ones in the real announcement posted to
announce@. (OK, one of the real announcements. I picked the one with
the earliest Date: header.)
battery of my oldish battered (drummed upon :-) Vaio is dying
(roughly 1 minute without AC) so this is probably the least bad
time to look for a worthy replacement.
page has been moved. The actual contents has not been replicated.
It mostly consisted of a list of activities tied to a person (ie
latest news). Even though voluntary work is carried by recognition
of the work being done, it's not an good way to build web pages
if it's the only real contents and it has to be updated by the
people who actually do the work. I don't know about others, but I
hate writing about myself...
Not to mention that the concept of latest news forces one to keep
updating the pages, which given the current state of affairs is
just too much to ask.
This change does not mean that the new ia64 pages cannot possibly
revive the information that's "lost" with this change.
and cvs@ hasn't replied to the repo copy request this file has been
added as a new file. History can be found in ../ia64.sgml. Not really
optimal, but such is life.
