Error 0x800F081F while installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 10
Error 0x800F081F while installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 10 might be due to corporate WSUS servers not allowing such updates.

CentOS/anaconda supports IPv6 RDNSS when configuring the DNS settings. Now, if only Cisco IOS XE would allow me to enter a domain name […]

Update 2017-11-13 r325743 corrected the mistakes. The below no longer applies. Remove /boot/loader.rc.local if you created it. /boot/loader.rc used to be copied from base/head/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc on FreeBSD/amd64. With r325694 this changed to base/head/sys/boot/forth/loader.rc. Nothing was added to base/head/UPDATING, explaining this change. As instructed in /boot/loader.rc, to regain our beloved boot menu, we must create and edit […]
