Set user/group for installed files?
I've looked everywhere and i can't seem to find anything. If I build software from source, when i do make install, I would like to be able to set the owner and group for the installed files at that time so I don't have to go searching all over the file system to find what files were installed and change the owner and group on them after. Is there any way to specify whcih user/group to install files as? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: KVM Switches
I am willing to wager that it is the KVM switch itself that is the problem. I have had a few problems KVM switches before. 1) We have a Compaq Proliant 1600. On certain KVMs, the keyboard world drop keystrokes. It was impossible to use. I switched the KVM out with a cheap 2 port Hawking unit and it worked fine. 2) We have a Compaq KVM (a very expensive rack-mountable server class unit). It works great, or so we thought. The other day, we swapped out a two button mouse with a wheel-mouse. Guess what? Doesn't work at all. The mouse is fine, it just won't work through the expensive Compaq KVM. Are you using Compaq hardware at all? Maybe that is your problem :) Another thing to mention... When you are booting your FreeBSD box, make sure you are switched to that box and watch it boot. If you are switched to another computer when the mouse daemon loads, I have found that the mouse won't function at all.

Installing port - skip required port
Is there any way to install a port and tell it NOT to install one or more of it's required ports? For example: I installed the mysqlcc port, and it wanted to install mysql-client. I already have mysql-client installed, but I did not do it from the ports tree. Another port wanted to install Apache as a requirement. I already have Apache installed, but I did so from source. Is there some command line option to tell the system not to install certain ports? Or better yet, a config file I where can list ports not to install. Is there also a way to tell portupgrade to skip certain ports? Next time I do a portupgrade -aRr i do not want it to install mysql-client or Apache. Thanks.

upgrade to 4.8 STABLE - Root mount failed: 6
I am trying to upgrade my system from 4.7RELEASE to 4.8STABLE. I have followed the instructions from the manual: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Right now, I am on step 21.4.8 Reboot into Single User Mode. I have compiled my new kernel, and I was trying to reboot into single user mode to test the new kernel. When I do this, I get the following error message: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a no such device 'da' setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 I don't understand what is going on here. THe device /dev/da0s1a exists. I compiled the new kernel using the same kernel config file I used to compile my 4.7RELEASE kernel. My old kernel boots the system just fine. Can anyone help?
