6.0 on Apple's Intel Developer Platform?
I can get the 6.0 CD1 to boot ok on Apple's Intel Developers Platform but the usb keyboard is not recognized. Do I have to do something special to use a USB keyboard? There is no PS/2 keyboard or mouse port on that platform. I'd like to try installing 6.0 on this box ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The login group-id isn't consulted by su(1). And, rather than just have then su and then run tons of commands you really should list them in sudoers so they ( and you ) can do ''sudo command ... .

Is this true? How can I fix th??s problem out? free memory is memory wasted.

Minimal 6.0 installed - need your recommendation to get services installed and up
I want to setup, in the easiest and quickest possible way, a server for apache-ssl, php, mysql, and postfix/courier-imap. I've installed FreeBSD 6.0. A minimal install. I don't care about anything else but those applications and services ( well, ssh so I can attach to the machine, but I have that working already ) I don't feel the need to work from sources, binaries would probably be fine. I connect via ssh and don't want X. I'd rather not even install the development tools ( they are not on there yet) I'd like to be able to keep the system up to date as patches etc come out There are tons of references on how to do this on the net but I've tried a bunch of them and either they are not complete or they require hours of cvsup'ing and building from source etc. I just want to get this up and working and not have to spend tons of time doing that or maintaining it So, how do you recommend I do this?

If I was rolling my own version using the configure script I would do: ./configure prefix=/usr/local/apache22 I believe the default prefix can be changed, but I'm unclear as to why you would want to change it. The port installs a package that you can then remove easily with the pkg tools. Why would you want to do this? But wait! I thought the pkg system maintained track of where things were installed even if directed somewhere else and a pkg_delete etc would still work.

Re: FreeBSD 6 - Do i need both CD1 and CD2 ?

CD2 contains several hundred binary packages, but are not required for the OS upgrade. I've always wondered this. I'm running 5.1. Can I upgrade to 6.x in place, i.e. without having to full install and wipe my filesystem etc? If so, how do I do that?

pkg or version conflict problems
I'm afraid that through my moronic attempts over the last few months I have gotten my 5.1 system into bad shape. While trying to clean it up and make some sense out of it I've been trying to build mysql. I'm getting this error message and no matter what I try I cannot get past it. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server# make WITH_OPENSSL=yes === mysql-server-5.0.17 is marked as broken: MySQL versions mismatch: mysql41-client is installed and wanted version is mysql50-client. pkg_info doesn't show any mysql's installed. I've tried pkg_delete and pkg_deinstall's. I've gone into all the /usr/ports/databases/mysql* directories and done make deinstall Can someone please tell me what's wrong and how to fix it ( and maybe how I got into this state so I can understand what's going on)? There must be another database or more involved that I'm not understanding.

Perhaps it can be configured to work over FTP, I've never tried (no reason to). Can you use ssh? I personally never use nor enable FTP anymore these days given the massive number of script kiddies and serious hackers out there. Regular FTP is just too insecure ( I don't know about more recent ''secure'' FTP ). Just use ssh and if it's not available on the other end beg/tell/require them to enable it I get easily over 1000 attempts per day from hackers trying to break into my poor little colo'd server... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
