Or upgrade base to 5.5 so you wont fall to much behind the supported
releases, it shouldn't affect your ports or installed application, and
then setup a jail and slowly migrate while you do continously testing,
it always works for me. In general it's always getting very suddenly
messy when your fall way behind releases.

The Dell's are great with FreeBSD, but pay attention if it has one of
those Dell DRAC controllers for remote management that it will appear to
FreeBSD as an usb keyboard + mouse and therefore take precedence over an
ps/2 keyboard or an usb keyboard which will be handled as an extra
keyboard. Therefore, before you reboot after installation from the shell
prompt make sure you add keyboard=/dev/kbd0 to your rc.conf _before_
rebooting.

Good luck with your project

using procmail rules to handle old maildir

2005-09-26 Thread Brian Josefsen
Hello all

I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this question here, but now i'll
give it a try.

I've set up postfix on a new box with maildir support, and i've been
using procmail to deliver all my mail, so i now have the rules i've always
missed.

Then i've taken a tarball from the vhosting environment from the old
server, so i have now a Maildir that i use, with all my new mail in it,
and another Maildir with all the old mail.

Now i would like to sort all my old mail using the procmail rules i have
now, it could be as easy as:
cd oldmaildir
procmail < find . -type f -exec echo {} \;

but procmail don't delete the mail from the old maildir, and since there
is ~9k mail, i would hate to first filter all of it, and then go
manually through all of it again.

Anyone out there with any idea to solve this would be highly appreciated
as i depend on "quick" access to old mail.

FreeBSD 5.4, latest procmail, mutt zsh.

You didn't give much info on your system but i tried this once where i
had configured several "Pointer" sections in my XF86Config and i used
one for my old computers serial mouse, besides that there isn't anything wrong 
with
several pointers.

And the mouse daemon only handles mouse in the console
