This can be done easily by installing the docproj port located in ports/textproc/docproj. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
System Hang During tar Backup
I am encountering a problem when using tar to backup the files on my system. I am uncertain of when this problem began, but this worked a month ago. The backup seems to run for at least ten minutes, but the system seems to hang after a period of time. Keyboard input appears on the screen, but control-C has no effect. Control-Alt-Delete has no effect either, and my only option is to press the reset button or power down the machine. No services are active when the system is in this state (i.e., I cannot make a remote connection to the machine). I am running 4.3-STABLE that was built after a cvsup of RELENG_4 as of yesterday. I am using the following syntax: tar --create --totals --absolute-paths --file /dev/rsa0 / My hardware is a Seagate Scorpion STD2401LW. This is a DDS4 DAT drive. Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
RE: XFree86-4 port install failing
I just successfully built and installed XFree86-4 from ports about one hour ago, so it does work. I am now building KDE2.

Unless the normal slice configuration won't work for > you, there really is no good reason to use "dangerously dedicated". What if you have multiple drives in your system? Wouldn't "dangerously dedicated" yield more disk space for use? I have three drives in my system, and my third drive is "dangerously dedicated" to FreeBSD. No other operating systems use that drive, so I saw no reason not to make it dangerously dedicated.
