Equitable Sharing between TCP Sockets

Mark Stale dependency means portupgrade doesn't recognize the dependency port used to build the listed port. It wants you to use pkgdb -F so it can force the dependency to be something portupgrade recognizes. Though your listed port was built with a stale (out of date) dependency port, portupgrade wants to change so that it looks like the listed port was built with a current up to date dependency. A better approach is to rebuild the port with newer, up to date dependency ports that are not stale. I suggest you get a current cvsup then update your port collection with sysutils/portmanager, it will rebuild your ports with only up to date dependencies. -Mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

File Manager
Hello everyone I am a newbie, I have just installed FreeBSD(4.10), and would appreciate some guidance. First of all, is there any user friendly File Manager like Midnight Commander (or anything else)? Second, I did create a new user, but I wasn't sure wich group to put it in, so I kept the GROUP field blank. Now I can't su to root cos it say that I am not in the right goup(wheel).

First of all, is there any user friendly File Manager like Midnight Commander (or anything else)? Welcome to FBSD. If you've installed the ports tree, try this from a shell prompt: %cd /usr/ports make search key=commander [That's move to the ports directory on the usr partition and search the ports tree for any port with 'commander' in a data field ... it's a specific command enabled for that dir by the Makefile in /usr/ports] There are 4-5 programs there, one of which might fill your needs. If you run one of the large Desktop Environments (KDE or GNOME), you probably already have something that good or better HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The phrase recently I tried to boot into FreeBSD does make it sound as if you have another operating system on the disk.
