Re: GNOME Upgrade on a non-GNOME Machine

2005-11-12 Thread Kan Cai
Yes. I did it a few days as /usr/ports/UPDATING suggests. It worked but it took too much time (1.5 days). This is because a lot packages depend on glib and gtk, so they have to be upgraded as well. I am just wondering if there is any way to accerlerate the process. cheers, --ken On 11/11/05,

Re: Firefox problem...another newbie question

2005-11-12 Thread Kan Cai
It seems that there is some problem with your glib. You might need to upgrade it. Note that portupgrade isn't working for glib/gtk 2.8.x upgrade. You need to use gnome_upgrade212.sh instead, check /usr/ports/UPDATING for details. cheers, --ken On 10/11/05, makisupa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi, there: I have been trying to install FreeBSD with a usb keyboard (I have tried 3 keyboards so far), but no success. It seems that it can recognize the device correctly (because it prints out the device names precisely when bringing up the usbs), but it freezes right after the sysinstall menu

FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE SACK

Greetings, I've installed the standard FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE and have realized that the sysctl option for enabling SACK in TCP is not available (net.inet.tcp.do_sack). Additionally, the tcp_sack.c file is not in the /usr/src/sys/netinet so I'm guessing this indicates that I need a patch.
