Rhapsody music service with FreeBSD+linux-firefox
dear FreeBSDers, I can report that Rhapsody music service (www.rhapsody.com) works with an old version of the linux-firefox port on FreeBSD 6.0. concurrently on my system: - linux-firefox-1.0.7, user profile music using Rhapsody - firefox-1.5, user profile Seamus Abshere using the internet *I assume you have the normal firefox port installed, currently 1.5_5* If you do not, I don't know if this will work for you. Obviously, *you also need linux compatibility.* A good way to test this (and get a useful app in the process) is the acroread7 port. ***Finally, most importantly*** be careful about running make make install in an alternatively old/totally-updated version of the ports tree. I bet you would get some strange results if it started installing dependencies from late 2005. So assuming linux compat, firefox-1.5, etc., try this: 0. UPDATE YOUR PORTS TREE 1. REVERT TO OLD ports-www your ports-supfile probably contains this (excluding commented lines): *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all now we're going to *temporarily* change it to: *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default date=2005.11.24.12.12.12 *default compress #ports-all ports-www (so you should have commented out one line, uncommented one line, and added a date line.) now use cvsup to get the old ports-www!!! --- important 2. UNDO CHANGES TO ports-supfile 3. MAKE MAKE INSTALL CLEAN linux-firefox 4. CREATE A NEW PROFILE FOR linux-firefox call it music or something linux-firefox -P 5. RUN firefox WITH YOUR OLD USER PROFILE 6. RUN linux-firefox WITH YOUR music USER PROFILE good luck. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
M-Audio Transit USB on FreeBSD 5.4
dear FreeBSD friends, is there any way I can use my M-Audio Transit USB soundcard on FreeBSD 5.4? I have tried OSS, but they do not support any USB cards on FreeBSD. thanks, Seamus Abshere ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
apache2 port ignoring WITHOUT_MODULES
dear friendly FreeBSDers, First, i make: [/usr/ports/www/apache2]#make WITHOUT_MODULES=auth_anon auth_dbm actions cache cern_meta cgi cgid charset_lite deflate disk_cache expires file_cache imap include info negotiation speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias bucketeer case_filter case_filter_in ext_filter charset_lite optional_hook_export optional_hook_import optional_fn_import optional_fn_export ldap cache file_cache disk_cache mem_cache suexec Then, i check which modules are statically compiled into httpd: [/usr/ports/www/apache2]#./work/httpd-2.0.48/httpd -l Compiled in modules: core.c mod_include.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_status.c mod_cgi.c mod_negotiation.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_so.c Hmm. I thought I said WITHOUT_MODULES=[...]status[...]userdir[...] etc. What am I doing wrong? I don't want these modules compiled-in statically or even built.

group members can't modify files even though 775 set
Dear freebsd-questions, I want all members of the webmasters group to be able to modify my web documents directory /www. Here's my user, a webmaster: $id sabshere uid=1000(sabshere) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 1002(webmasters) and, just in case, here's root: $id root uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), [...], 1002(webmasters) Here's my directory: $ls -l -rwxrwxr-x 1 root webmasters 3714 Dec 19 16:49 index.html But this happens when I am logged in as sabshere: $echo whatev index.html -bash: index.html: cannot overwrite existing file I thought this had to do with the sticky bit, but chmod -R -t /www doesn't do anything.

php4-4.3.4 port with apache-2.0.48_1 instead of apache-1.3.29_1
I would like to use the php4-4.3.4 port with the apache-2.0.48_1 port, but php4-4.3.4 lists apache-1.3.29_1 as a dependency. I understand that this substitution is more complicated than simply not installing apache-1.3.29_1, because php has to be configured with different flags (--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs, etc)(and other things), but I would still like the convenience of updating both ports with a cron job. What can I do? Should I just install php manually?

Host system type: i386-unknown-freebsd5.1
When I run ./configure on my machine, I get this: checking host system type... i386-unknown-freebsd5.1 If the unknown were *known*, what else could this say? Does it mean that I configured something wrong? Thanks much!

.ko files in /boot/kernel
/boot/kernel is full of .ko files for kernel options that I did not select. Why are they there? Are they in use? [/boot/kernel]#ls -l kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2317346 Jul 2 16:11 kernel I'm proud of this (supposedly) 2.3MB kernel, and I want to make sure that I have actually optimized my machine and not made a stupid mistake that does the opposite.
