To clear up a couple of points: YUM is a Redhat tool but is a command line one. It works on all Redhat derived systems not just Fedora. BTW Fedora is not made by Redhat but is sponsored by them - they use it as a test platform. What I don't understand why the OP is installing Linux Apachie2 from rpms when there is a perfectly good port for BSD which handles the dependencies and the different locations of files, scripts etc. Rob _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
