Why do many of the /usr/ports point to freefall???

Post by Zeni » Fri, 04 Jul 1997 04:00:00



I've noticed that quite a few of the Makefiles in /usr/ports have the
MASTER_SITES pointing to freefall.freebsd.org, which I find quite odd
since freefall doesn't have an anon ftp login.  Most of these do not have
alternate sites listed which then requires the Makefile to be hand edited
to point to the valid archives at there local freebsd mirror before make
install will do anything useful...

You must have an old ports collection - this was changed after freefall
stopped allowing anon ftp.

        ...Ok, so it's another reason to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2...

1. Why floating point exception after doing "ps -xu"?

Hi:

I got "floating point exception" after I executed "ps -xu"
under my newly re-compiled kernel(1.3.63). I didn't have
this problem with previous 1.2.11 kernel. Could anyone
tell me what I did wrong? I didn't enable math-emulation
druing configuration since I have a 486DX2/66 CPU. But
could this be a problem?

Please email me your advice! Thank you in advance!
