Thanks for your reply Ted. I don't have a mimencode binary on my system and nothing in the ports tree. I am using FreeBSD 5.3-Release. And yes I realise it isnt standardised, however I just want to email myself a html page, displaying system statistics.

HTML Mail from Command Line
Hi All, How can I send HTML mail from the command line with freeBSD. The command: cat design.HTML | mail -s "System Statistics" root Simply emails the HTML file as a text file, where the HTML code is clearly visible. What I want the to make the client see the content as HTML, and act accordingly. As I recall, when I have used other variants of *nix, the mail binary comes with a -a flag to specify the content type, this does not appear to be true with FreeBSD. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? -- Mick Walker Website: http://www.codegurus.org ICQ: 71032828 Y!

Setting Up a X Server
Hello everyone; I am looking for information on how to setup a remote X server. This is my setup: Internet. | FreeBSD Gateway (Running Xorg) | 8 Port hub > Wireless Base Station | 6 machines, Various Operating Systems What I wish to be able to do is setup the 6 client machines to be able to access the X server running on the gateway. I have looked at the gdm configuration manager, and it allows a option for remote connections, but I am unsure of the exact procedure I would use to connect to this from one of the client systems. The one I am mostly concerned with is my FreeBSD laptop. Do I need to create some 'virtual screens' to enable more than one X session to be run on the machine at once? I have also tried acomplising this using Xvnc, however when I try to start the server I get the error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. I still wish the local X server to be able to be run, so I am unsure how I can proceed. I hope someone can help. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If there was a command= (could be, but I'm relatively new to doing the automated install stuff), it's not mentioned in the example install.cfgs I've seen. Besides, even if it is an option, think about how it would carry out... it makes about as much sense as telling your shell to: echo "hello="hola"" ... syntax is kinda sucky. HTH, Mike Pardon my ignorance, but is there a section in the handbook/man pages relating to creating custom install images? I would find this really useful TBH. However from work I do not have access to the internet, or the handbook installed locally to check. Thanks Mick Walker IMPORTANT NOTICE: This email is confidential.

Nautilus Issues
Hi All, I have just upgraded from gnome 2.6 to gnome 2.8. This upgrade also upgraded nautilus to 2.8.2. The issue I am having is viewing image files with nautilus, the previous version allowed me to view images in the same browser window that I was browsing the file system with, however in the newer version I can't find the setting to allow me to do this, I have looked through the gconf settings, and can't seem to find a setting that related to this feature. But maybe it is a case of me not being able to see the forest for the trees. Currently when I double click on a image file, eog is loaded in a separate window. Does anyone know how I can revert back to the previous way of viewing images I mentioned above?

Copyright Issues
Hi all, Sorry if this post is off topic. Last night me and a few friends decided to go for a few quiet drinks after playing football for a few hours. For this we choose a little pub in the village of Yarm (Close to Middlesbrough in the north east of the UK), the name does escapes me at this time, but I believe it had some reference to a 'Ox' in the title. Now, getting to the point, I was shocked when I went into the toilet facilities in the pub, and found one of those vending machines that sell novelty items of a sexual nature, featuring on the design something that looked remarkably similar to the BSD Daemon. Having my camera cell phone with me, I took a few snaps which are located here: http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image045.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image046.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image047.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image049.jpg http://codegurus.org/~mwalker/Image050.jpg The company that supplies these vending machines is called Naughty Vend (http://www.naughtyvend.com/). I have checked their site, and I find no reference to and copyright credits to the original artist. To the best of my knowledge, the BSD Daemon is copyrighted by Marshall Kirk McKusick. Is this a case of copyright theft? As obviously they are a profit making company. Or have i got totally the wrong end of the stick.
