suggest pdf viewer for pdf version 1.6 with annotations
I got sent a pdf file, version 1.6, with annotations. xpdf can view the file, but not the annotations. Please suggest a pdf viewer from ports that might help.

Re: A problem with loader
2012/10/3, Thomas Mueller muelle...@insightbb.com: installed recently 9.0 - and I've got a little problem: while booting, loader somehow gets incorrect currdevice value, stopping boot process. It does get disk1s6a, but it should be disk1s7a. I can boot system, when I set currdev manually, then type boot. But how can I change it for steady, avoiding this typing each time? Of course, loader won't read its config files, when not having access to root directory. How can I pass the proper value to loader immediately? Maybe the fact, that I'm booting FreeBSD using GRUB, can be of any help? Which GRUB are you using, legacy (0.97) or GRUB2? Legacy GRUB 0.97. Are you sure you specify the partition correctly in GRUB? Partition numbering starts from 0 in GRUB legacy but from 1 in GRUB2. Well, it seems so; it's booting at least to loader's shell, and - besides - it doesn't allow me to select partition 6, as non-existing. But what about any possibility to pass the proper value for currdisk to loader? -- regards, Z. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

svn vs csup usage question
I often modify configuration files in the src and ports tree. Normally this isn't a problem becuase csup determines which files changed and pulled fresh copies from the repository. I doin't see a svn mechansim to do that, for example: svn co -verify repo target It appears the contents of .svn is all that is check on checkout and not the files themselves. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
