How to deal with package conflicts (apache)?

2004-02-08 Thread W. Sierke
How should I deal with package conflicts such as apache13/apache13-mod_ssl... I've installed apache13-mod_ssl but a couple of other ports I want to install want apache13 (specifically apache-1.3.29_1) which complains of a package conflict (with apache+mod_ssl-1.3.29+2.8.16) so I'll have to force

How to create .iso file image of cdrom (atapi)?

2004-01-04 Thread W. Sierke
Hi, Is there a straightforward way of creating a file image (.iso) of a data cdrom mounted in an atapi cd-rom drive? All my googling has turned up is suggestions like dd if=/dev/acd0 ... but I neither have nor can create (with MAKEDEV) /dev/acd0 (only /dev/acd0a and /dev/acd0c - FreeBSD 4.8)
