Comment on The next FreeBSD book? by Michael W Lucas

Bruce, I’d ask on hackers@. I know work is being done on pc-sysinstall, but they might be open to other things.

Comment on The next FreeBSD book? by Bruce Cran

Some discussions at BSDCan give me hope for an improved installation process.

I noticed there was a talk about PXE installs using pc-sysinstall, but I’m wondering if there’s any consensus around what any future installer should be? Were people still talking about pc-sysinstall as being the future of any installer, or has the discussion moved on to something else? I’m keen to work on the installer, but I’m not a fan of sh(1) which rules out working on both bsdinstall and pc-sysinstall

Comment on OpenBSD read-only ports tree with restrictive sudo by Charlie Carter

Hah, no doubt. Sorry, I should have clarified. I would like to do something similar, but all local, no NFS or anything like that, mostly as a learning exercise. More like what you described in chapter 13 of your latest book. I just thought it might be a neat idea to compile in a directory in /tmp, just more like a “what if” than anything else.

Great work, by the way! I really feel like I have been missing by not checking out OpenBSD earlier and your book has been amazing at getting me familiar with OpenBSD as well as filling in a lot of holes in my general *nix knowledge.

And also thank you so much for the reply.

Charlie, I wouldn’t trust a world-writable /tmp.

Comment on Free Short Stories by Kevin Cathy

Hi there,

I’m working on producing an anthology series and I need short horror stories from independent authors. As of right now, at for the 1st volume, it’s a non-paying gig unfortunately. But if you would like to be involved, I’d love to include one of your short stories into the 1st volume.
Email me for more details if you’re interested and be sure to check out vilepress.com to get more info on what we’re about (the site is in the beginning stages so don’t judge too harsh

Thanks for a reading and have a great day!

Would it be a bad idea to build ports in /tmp?
