Hello every one I am nwebie running FreeBSD 5.3 I was tryimg to install the mc-4.6.0_13.tgz pkg but it gave me a load of depedencies which I had to painfulluy downloaded usinf my dial-up connection. #pkg_add mc-4.6.0_13.tgz pkg_add: could not find package p5-File-Spec-0.90 ! pkg_add: could not find package p5-PodParser-1.28_1 ! pkg_add: could not find package p5-Test-Harness-2.42 ! pkg_add: could not find package p5-Test-Simple-0.47_1 ! pkg_add: could not find package p5-File-Temp-0.14_1 ! # Then I had to download gettext-0.13.1_1.tgz glib-2.4.6.tgz But now some of the packages were complaining that an older version is installed I had no idea how to upgrade these packages. So in my blind rage I did pkg_add -vf on all packages including mc. Now mc works but I cannot uninstall it or any of the packages. I will show you an example. # pkg_add mc-4.6.0_13.tgz pkg_add: package 'mc-4.6.0_13' or its older version already installed # pkg_delete mc-4.6.0_13.tgz pkg_delete: no such package 'mc-4.6.0_13.tgz' installed # Now how on earth is that possible?? First it says older version already installed than it says no such package 'mc-4.6.0_13.tgz' installed. I am very new to the world of UNIX, before BSD I had a couple of months experience with SLACKWARE, it was pretty cool, I could install/uninstall/upgrade packages pretty easily. Maybe I haven't read the HandBoook carefuly..., I don't know... somebody please tell me how to get this right... please Thanks - Free POP3 Email from www.Gawab.com Sign up NOW and get your account @gawab.com!! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TV Card problem
Hello everyon I am newbie using FreeBDS 5.3; and I am just starting to learn about TV Cards supported by FreeBSD. Unfortunately my pci TV Card (PINNACLE PCTV Stereo) does not have Brooktree/Conexant Chip. Intead it uses something like SAA7134HL CC4492 Tt03461 At least that's what I found written on the Chip.

File Manager
Hello everyone I am a newbie, I have just installed FreeBSD(4.10), and would appreciate some guidance. First of all, is there any user friendly File Manager like Midnight Commander (or anything else)? Second, I did create a new user, but I wasn't sure wich group to put it in, so I kept the GROUP field blank. Now I can't su to root cos it say that I am not in the right goup(wheel). So what does it mean how do I solve this prob?
