Upgrading Using FreeBSD Update
Hi there, I am going to upgrade my FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE to 9.1-RELEASE according to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/installation.html However, I don't know how to follow the step below: ##start here## # freebsd-update install At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE or earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update(8) to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in system libraries. After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if freebsd-update(8) printed a message indicating that this was necessary), run freebsd-update(8) again so that it can delete the old (no longer used) system libraries: ##end here## My questions is: how to rebuild all third-party applications? I have kept the ports tree up to date using # portsnap fetch update and # portmaster -Ga every day. Any help will be really appreciated.

Re: Upgrading Using FreeBSD Update
Hi, My questions is: how to rebuild all third-party applications? I have kept the ports tree up to date using # portsnap fetch update and # portmaster -Ga every day. ... I would advise you to drop -G option and use these entries: # portsnap fetch update # portmaster -f portmaster # portmaster -a -f Ref: PORTMASTER(8) Examples. jb Thank you very much for your reply and the Ref to PORTMASTER(8). The last example in the man page may be what I want during the upgrade to FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE.

How to change the font for window title
Hi all, I am a newbie to FreeBSD, and I have to make the my X window to display Chinese. I use GNOME. I found if I use VIM under RXVT to edit a file with a Chinese file name, RXVT could display the Chinese character. However, the window title of RXVT is something illegible. Someone told me to change the window title font. However, I fond in the Font Preferences of GNOME, the item of window title font cannot be changed, because it's displayed as a gray field. The system I used is FreeBSD 4.8 with GNOME 2.2 and XFree86 4.2. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
