A freebsd n00b question. How do I set ports up to use ccache (and
distcc for that matter)? Presumably I put something into
/etc/make.conf.
Haven't managed to find anything on list archives or goog.

I started pkgdb -F 12 hours ago on an amd XP 2000. Its still running.
I was told a while ago that it took a long time, but this seems a bit
excessive.
If there is a problem with the package database, is there a way that I
can reset it and start again, or is this expected behaviour?
I am a newcomer to freebsd and am still trying to get to grips with
package management.
When I try to do a binary upgrade of a package it hangs. Recently I
tried to upgrade sylpheed-claws and nothing happened for 2 hours. I
got the following message:
# portupgrade -v -P sylpheed-claws

8I've just started playing around with FreeBSD. One of my main
priorities of an OS is ease of upgrading. If I run portaudit, I get a
list of insecure packages (here is an excerpt from the output):

I have tried to install jre from the ports collection and get the
following error:

I've just installed the latest 5.4-RELEASE on a PC using a kvm switch.
I am completely unable to get the mouse to work.
The switch is a no-name one with two ports (in a metal case!!). It's
been fine up until now, though I don't know if I've used FBSD on it.
When I (re)start the mouse daemon,
I'm running FreeBSD 5 (both 5.2.1 and -CURRENT), and I'm curious if it
is possible to have a non-graphical/VGA console? We have a server with
an IPMI module, but it cannot redirect VGA consoles through the LAN;
they must be plain text.
So right now it works up to the loader, then I lose access
