No, to write to a CD, you need to use specialized software, not just a simple copy.

Plus what about copying to replaced a files already on the CD ? I believe you need to clear it first then rewrite everything back. CD are about as inconvenient as a media can get.

Nice, I have NetBSD v10.0 on my Thinkpad T420, and issues I had with an external monitor has been fixed plus is is more zippy.

The only remaining issue I have with 10.0 is when the system is under very heavy load, Xorg can get temporarily corrupted after about 1 hour of the job running. I create PR 58217 for that issue.

In reality, I think very few people will ever run into this problem, but hoping for a 10.x fix some day :)

Nice, "No BigTech" is the main reason I may very well be 100% BSD rather soon. Right now I use BSD 50% of the time to ensure objects I develop on Linux works everywhere. By testing on both OpenBSD and NetBSD, I have found many memory issues Linux has been quite happy ignoring :) These are items have written for use on AIX, soon to be RHEL :(

Because if the funding has not been cut, there is a good chance we would have been ready. This is not the first time Bird Flu made an appearance, it is just with the low funding level more important issues came up, like covid. Not to mention, a lot of good researchers went into private companies due to threats to them from the orange clown.

One of my favorite shows. The show started out very well, then morphed into a shoot-them-up type show in the later seasons, which I did not like. But I stuck with it.

Too bad it went the way it did :(

I binged it a year ago or so, yes it holds up well and is still entertaining :) I use to watch it when it came out, but I missed most of the first season back then.

Enjoy,

You should probably check https://www.netbsd.org/

The Guide and FAQ should answer your question.

I use to use FreeBSD 20 years ago, but when OpenBSD dumped Linux emulation, I decided to try it and it worked out fine for me. Plus I find networking much simpler with hostname.* and join.

The add seems fine for me, just replace the fight with Cell Phones and you are good to go.

But in 2023 with all the movies with blood and gore, this being NSFW in 2023 is a bit over kill :) Never mind the fact here is the US we now get see children being shot for real in news casts :( And accidentally showing a certain body part in a sports event, you get banned for life.

Well, the AMD333 (PII) now has NetBSD 9.3. It is working very well and works rather will and zippy considering its age.

I discovered the CDROM Drive was causing issues. I replaced it with one from a junk IBM PC a relative was tossing out. All good :)

irssi is the only one I use

2400 on a 386SX IIRC, I was late to the game. I started connecting when I moved to Coherent OS from DOS. I used kermit to dial into work. Work would then call back so I would avoid any charges:)

They had USENET on a SUNOS plus I could download source for items I wanted.
