I had this idea, but I didn't want to make another stupid thing today :) Thanks a lot I can only guess that you need to use pwd_mkdb. Probably the easiest way to do this is to use /sbin/vipw, just doing :wq to save the changes (though there will be none), which will run pwd_mkdb for you.

Re: PHP Install Options Problem

Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command php -m.

I'm sorry this isn't directly FreeBSD related, but I really hope my Win2k installation isn't hosed. Thanks for replying! I can't understand how the 5.x boot manager has managed to break my windows boot, i've never had any trouble under 3.x or 4.x, both of which played with windows perfectly nicely. I think i've tried all of the various repair options on the Win2k CD, including getting it to do a fresh installation into a different folder (c:\tempwin), but even that failed with the NTLDR missing message! However you no longer get the booteasy (F1 F2) menu anymore, so Windows must have rewritten something. It still doesn't explain why Win2k still won't boot. I'm running out of ideas and I *really* don't want to have to reformat my windows drive! Other than this (fairly major) problem, my 5.0 installation went really well, even ACPI seems to be working perfectly and I even found a KLD to support my on- board sound card! :) I really want to get windows booting again so I can continue to play with 5.0 without worrying... Any help is much appricated! It could well be that windows has become confused about the partition numbering. the important file is c:\boot.ini. It will have a line like... multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT=Windows /fastdetect I can't recall what all the numbers mean and IIRC documentation is slightly scant, but try changing the numbers, in particular the partition() part and see if that helps. Since you can't boot windows its not obvious how to edit the file, recovery console or knoppix are the two methods i would try.

Re: portindex/portindexdb
FWIW, portindexdb will generate INDEX-5.db just fine on 5-current. It doesn't have the problem with ruby bus erroring like portsdb -u does. Kent This also works for me on 5.2.1-p9. Am I missing something in asking why couldn't portsdb -u be replaced by portindex? Obviously this couldn't happen now with the code-freeze for 5.3, but for 5.4?

Re: Voodoo 3500 AGP under FreeBSD
Sorry to be still hammering on about this problem - I am starting to feel a bit dense. I've tried a few times now to get FreeBSD running a GUI with my Voodoo 3500 AGP card. Thanks to some helpful advice from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I reckon that I should be able to get things running using the tdfx X-server. Other advice is that if my card ain't listed explicitly, it won't work. Longer term, a carefully-chosen card will be a great solution - at this point though I just want to try things out and the number of cards that will run BeOS, Linux, FreeBSD and/or Windows (this last reluctantly) seems a little limited. As an aside one of the problems here is that BeOS now seems happier with *old* graphics cards (one of the problems that got me looking for the ONE OS in the first place). When I try to run the tdfx driver I am still unable to complete X Windows installation successfully so I suspect that it really may be a case of having to specify a specific card for a trouble free GUI. Just as an experiment I stuck on the latest Mandrake 9.0; in half an hour and I was up and running Gnome 2.0 with no problems whatsoever using a generic Voodoo driver. Am I being stupid in thinking that this is the same XFree86? I really don't want to go down a Linux route, I've been burned too many times there in the past. Any expertise greatly welcome at this point. cheers, Steve Hodgson To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Voodoo 3500 AGP under FreeBSD
I had been having some problem trying to get FreeBSD installed onto a free partition because I was unsure whether my Voodoo 3500 AGP card was supported by X Windows. Thanks to some help received I now know that I need to use the tdfx driver. However when I select this as part of the graphical or shell- based W Windows setup during install it still fails. I wonder if anyone can advise whether I am missing some quirk of using the card. With regard to the graphical setup it may be useful to note that all the other devices are shown correctly while the graphics card is only shown as an outline box. Is it time to try to pick up a cheat ATi card? Cheers, Steve Hodgson To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Voodoo Graphics Cards
I have been trying to find out if a 3dfx voodoo 3500 AGP is compatible with FreeBSD 4.7. I have managed to everything up to a successful GUI -free login. I checked out the various web resources and usenet with no success. My FreeBSD book (FreeBSd Unleashed) doesn't list the card in the supported hardware. I have used the card successfully with Linux, BeOS and Windows (not XP) so assumed it would be OK under FreeBSD too. Any help and pointers would be much appreciated at this stage!
