Hello,
I am still trying to get dt to install... when I try to compile the 
source, I get an error, something about something or other being too 
old, and it gives the suggestion:
to fix
cd /pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install && /usr/bin/make clean && /usr/bin/make 
install

so I do that and I get:"

===>  *** No /pkgsrc/distfiles/pkg-vulnerabilities file found,
===>  *** skipping vulnerability checks. To fix, install

*** Error code 1

"

So... do I have to recompile gcc?

I was going to check the config.log, but while copying the screen here, 
the hard drive spun down and now no commands work (after it spins down, 
it never spins back up and I get either:  "[the command path]: bad 
address" or  "[the command path]: Input/output error."). This happens 
all the time, after login, if I give no commands for about a minute. 
This is really annoying.  How do I prevent the hd from spinning down 
when idle?  I have pulled the hard drive (seagate hawk) to see if there 
was a jumper setting to disable spin down, and the closest thing I 
could find was "enable motor start,"  so I put a jumper on there, but 
it doesn't help. Where can I configure the HD not to sleep or spin 
down?

Lots of questions here... PLEASE, if you are going to respond, DON'T be 
brief.. the simplistic answers I am getting are not helping (makes me 
even grumpier when its obvious someone has the answer but has a serious 
communication problem... I cannot read your minds... give full paths 
when talking about files at least once... and assume that I still don't 
know what you are talking about when you are done... if you have 
tutorial suggestions, give them up!

Thanks so much!
