I was trying to pkg_add openoffice and it fails (file not found) when
trying to fetch the openoffice.org tarball.
1. I'm assuming that since pkg_add looks for the tarball, it is
supposed to exist. Is that a valid assumption?
2. Anyone know why the tarball isn't there? Should I be trying t
Is there any way to tell if something is a hard link, other than
ls -i
of relevant files and seeing that the inode is the same?
or a better way?
I was a bit confused when looking at /root/.cshrc and then discovering a
.cshrc in / as well.
Thanks,

Can anyone tell me the status of gimp 2.8 for FreeBSD? I just assumed
it would be in the ports tree but I don't see it.

I can't speak to the mirror issue, but I had difficulty trying to tweak
the defaults in the install on a 128G SSD:
When manually configuring the SSD, I tried to leave some extra space at
the end of the SSD. Not sure that is necessary or not. In any case, I
had a 128GB SSD, reported as 119GB.

Hello all,
I upgraged thunderbird and firefox via portupgrade.
Things kinda work ok, except I cannot modify preferences, and it
doesn't see any of my old mail, which leads me to believe it

Hello all,
After installing gimp, I discovered the help files
for the running program were not present. Tried to
add them using
make WITH_HTML_HELP_BROWSER=yes install
but they didn't show up.
(I did a deinstall / clean but still no help)

I had a similar problem after installing 5.3b7.
My solution (win2K & 5.3) was to use the ms boot manager.
To do this, copy /boot/boot1 to c:\, naming it whatever you want,
eg FreeBSD_boot1.bsd. Edit boot.ini to contain a line
like:
c:\FreeBSD_boot1.bsd="Freebsd 5.3"
In order to edit boot.i

Seems like this is a bug of sorts.

edge of the xterm window. Any other ideas?
