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. -- Best regards Brian Josefsen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Therefore, before you reboot after installation from the shell prompt make sure you add keyboard=/dev/kbd0 to your rc.conf _before_ rebooting.

using procmail rules to handle old maildir
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. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Brian Josefsen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

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 -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Brian Josefsen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
