I install clamav from ports and get error message that said my definition older than 7 days.

After trying manual update, I see something

Make symlink to clamd fixed the problem.

Hmmm… it’s work, other message will be identified soon

With recent freebsd 6.2 stable installation I like to try portsnap. Since it’s already in base, no need to install this program

Just trying it

great, I don’t have to install cvsup for updating ports

but hey, csup already in base too. Only need ports-supfile and stable-supfile.

Let portsnap work for ports and csup work for source file.

Very handy end neat tools

thanks FreeBSD

From Jeff blog :

"Well 5 years ago this summer I stopped by evan‘s house in seattle’s university district and told him I was going to write a scheduler that saturday. Today I committed my SCHED_SMP work as SCHED_ULE and I feel it finally reflects my original hopes and intentions. Much of that time was spent getting the kernel locked well enough that we could exploit some affinity. However I have experimented with a great number of schemes and ideas in the process. For now I’m satisfied. I will take a little break and work on other projects."

Thanks for your efforts Jeff
