To create a ramdisk for /tmp and detach it on FreeBSD 8 # /sbin/mdmfs -M -S -o async -s size md0 /tmp Don't forget to chmod +w for read/write # chmod +w /tmp Detach it and delete from /dev/md0 # /sbin/mdconfig -d -u 0 There is a shell script for the operation %cat ramdisk.sh #!/bin/sh case "$1" in create) /sbin/mdmfs -M -S -o async -s 18432m md0 /tmp /bin/chmod 777 /tmp echo "18G ramdisk created on md0 and mounted on /tmp" exit 0 ;; destory) /sbin/umount /tmp /sbin/mdconfig -d -u 0 echo "ramdisk umounted from /tmp and destory from md0" ;; *) echo "Usage: `basename $0` {create|destory}" >&2 exit 64 ;; esac Caution ! This is for specificed purpose only! You have to modify the parameters if you want to use it.

At first, following content is just my experience to install a newer version from source, it may not works as well as you guys used on LINUX. Do following steps: You have to install following packages before you start to compile pidgin! gmake gstreamer gnutls libnss python cyrus-sasl2 tcl/tk farsight Well, a GTK based desktop environment is needed! (I use XFCE4, Gnome is the best!) Download the source from Pidgin's official site Extract the source Run configure with parameters # ./configure --disable-vv --disable-meanwhile --disable-nm --with-gnutls-includes=/usr/local/include --with-gnutls-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-tclconfig=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.5 --with-tkconfig=/usr/local/lib/tk8.4 Compile # gmake Install as root # sudo gmake install If all the procedures are work properly, you can just start pidgin and enjoy it on OpenBSD 4.6 now! :)
