But yes, you do need to go do some reading, and there very likely are other things you will need to do. As a previous responder noted, when you 'su -' it simulates a full root login, which puts you in root's home dir. I note that you said when you attempted to correctly add the pkg, it hung. It's big. Use the pkg_add command, perhaps with -v so you can see what's happening, and install the darned thing. -- Joshua Oops, my bad. Didn't look close enough before responding. I installed OO just the other day on 4.9 using a .tgz file. It worked quite well.

handbook - kernel build question
In section 9.3 of the handbook just before the two procedures it lists If you are building a new kernel without updating the source code (perhaps just to add a new option, such as IPFIREWALL) you can use either procedure. However, after the two procedures it says If you have not upgraded your source tree in any way (you have not run CVsup, CTM, or used anoncvs), then you should use the config, make depend, make, make install sequence. which is procedure 1. This seems contradictory to me. Also, I have not upgraded anything on this particular box, used procedure 2 and all seems well. Have I missed something here? Are the words update and upgrade the same thing here or are they different?

Re: Demande de conseille
I think I recognized the word version in there. I would recommend sticking with 4.9 for now unless there is a driver or some other feature you need that is only in 5.x.
