I beg to differ: having a release candidate running in production should never happen so this situation has been sort of broken from the start.

Making an image backup of the machine's disk before you start should give you a decent rollback scenario in case things go badly.

It is what it says it is: 6.2-RC1, meaning Release Candidate 1. That's a development/test version. If this is a production system it would be a very good idea to replace it with the current 8.0 RELEASE, which will give you at least proper patch maintenance.

The env command doesn't save its changes, but that is correct behaviour. I haven't tested this with a 'real' environment variable yet because I decided to roll back the upgrade to wait for the issue to be solved.

There's a PR for this filed under number 144403. A sort of workaround (which I find a bit nasty), is to start Apache like this: #env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.5 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart Hope this helps!

Does someone knows a good model for doing that, wall or table mounted and with a long USB cable, and supported in FreeBSD 8-CURRENT? Thx matthias In the past I've had reasonable succes using a standard camcorder over firewire to do things like this. It's been a few years though. If using firewire isn't an issue for you, I'd be happy to delve into my pile of notes and see if I can find you something of a howto. The advantage of a firewire camera is in the much more standardized protocol between PC and camera.

It's very strange that your machine should crash so early in its boot process. I don't own any ATI hardware so I'm not entirely sure on this, but my impression is that booting into the console should work with just about any kind of video hardware. Does Windows actually work with the ATI card? I'm beginning to suspect broken hardware here..
