I'm using FreeBSD 5-STABLE installed from 5.4-RC1 and then cvsup'd to
5-STABLE on Friday.
Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I noticed that when I did
pkgdb -F or portsdb -Uu, it seemed to complain about build
dependancies missing for packages that I installed from packages. I
assumed
Maybe this is not the best place for this (I'm not really sure) but
would there be a way to setup the ports tree so that when a particular
package is deinstalled that it's dependancies would be deinstalled if
they were only installed becasue of the port in the first place. For
example Package X
I have a question. I attempted to install a port and when it failed I
realized that it installed its dependancies that I don't need. ( I
don't need the port because I found another that does what I need).
Is there any way to safely go through and see what is installed, what
depends on it and
I have a Windows XP installation on the first 20 GB of my harddrive
and I would like to remove it and expand my FreeBSD install to fill
the entire disk. Is there an easy way to do that without formatting
the entire hard drive. I've updated the system to 5-STABLE and have
installed many ports and
I'm looking for an easy way to obtain all the packages/port distfiles
at once and then put them on a cd so I can do that. I would like to
be able to do it without having to manually fetch all the dependancies
as well.

Fortunately, you can still use the ports collection for your offline machine,
by using a machine which is connected and doing the make package-recursive
or make fetch-recursive commands to grab all of the dependencies as well.
Is there any way I can force it to fetch packages when they exist
I have the 5.3-RELEASE CD which I have used to install 5.3 on a laptop
I have. I would like to add packages/ports now but have a slight
issue. The laptop doesn't have internet access. Nor is there any
easy way to put it on the internet. How can I go about installing
both packages and ports on
I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a new computer. The motherboard is an Asus
P4P800-E with a P4 2.4 GHz. If i boot with ACPI it gets to the point where it says
Writing partition information to drive ... and just hangs no messages or anything.
If I disable ACPI it panics during hardware
I am setting up a new computer and the motherboard I am using has integrated audio.
It says it is Realtek ALC850 does anyone know if it is supported by FreeBSD? If so,
what driver should I use? The motherboard is the Asus P4P800-E Deluxe.

I currently dual boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2.1. I have files that are common to
both (MP3's and some documents). Is there a way to create a partition that can be
read by both that would eliminate this double copy problem?
I thought creating a separate partition woudl work but Windows XP
