Re: Firefox 3.6 and Java ?

The installation process searches for files which it cannot find. When I search for them on websites for Java I cannot find some of the particular files it asks for. It seems that the version of Firefox I find for FreeBSD is not the latest Firefox version. So it wants java programmes that are too old and not found on the java websites anymore.

Re: Why do you use a devil as a mascot?
Why do some people get hung up in some features of our cute little mascot that remind them of devils. You must look at it in a positive way that represents FreeBSD like a sporting character that has a sporty attitude. Just observe the modern running shoes and it has a harpoon in its hand to signify being ready to attack all problems on the way. Linux has only a lazy penguin that does not seem to be doing anything except sitting on its behind. Hope this answers all questions about this matter Sign Richard Farnes On Saturday 20 November 2010 09:00:04 Da Rock wrote: > On 11/14/10 05:22, Chad Perrin wrote: > > On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 12:36:29PM -0500, Jerry McAllister wrote: > >> On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 07:08:51PM -0500, Chris Brennan wrote: > >>> Did you know... > >>> If you play a Windows 2000 CD backwards, you hear satanic messages, > >>> but what's worse is when you play it forward > >> > >> I like this one - though you could update if from W 2000 to a more > >> current one. > > > > I vote Vista. > > I vote Winblow$ 7.

You did not mention that you have configured it. After X has been installed you must go into the X configuration file and configure your keyboard and mouse etc for use with it. When I installed X on my version 7 BSD I had to use some time tuning this file so X would work properly. The file gives you alternatives like which language keyboard you use and how your mouse works and other settings.

Re: text editor and your postscript
To Matthias Apitz I read with interest your contribution and those of others in text editor usage. In this I do not have much to contribute as I am so far perfectly happy with vi. BUT I noticed your political comment at the end of your contribution. I find this out of place as this questions site is for FreeBSD problems and not political ones. Could you please take your political comments and place them on appropriate sites where such comments belong. I keep with president Barack Obama, who has a law degree from Harvard and sees the necessity to set up a commission to analyse the matter before taking part in the international "howling choir" against Israel.
