Missing cvsupit?
I'm missing this. Can someone give me an example cvsupfile for FreeBSD 4.9? Preston ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Downloading OOo, other ports outside of the system?
I have what may seem like an odd question. I have a new FreeBSD 4.9 system that I want to install OpenOffice and some other stuff on. Most of the stuff left to install is pretty big and thus will be hard to download via ports over my dial-up connection (yes, I use dial-up). I know it's possible to download tarballs and drop them into the ports tree somewhere so you don't have to do the download. I'm wondering how easy this is, though. By that I mean, if I wanted to say install Tomcat, Java, OpenOffice, etc. in this manner how would I know which package to download? And from where? I'd like to download these at work, burn them on a CD and take them home. However, since I'm not in front of my machine I don't know where ports will be looking for these files. Anyone know?

Which version of Java to use?
I want to install Java to use Ant/Tomcat/Struts stuff like that. Which JDK is the right one to install to get these to work properly? Can anyone tell me?

Re: Re: Downloading OOo, other ports outside of the system?
Look into the makefile for the port. There's a line starting with MASTER_SITES, you can download from any of these. The variable DISTFILES contains the name of the file. Thanks! I'll take a look when I get home and maybe download them tomorrow. Will it list dependencies as well?

Multiple keyboards in FreeBSD
I'm using 4.9. Does anyone know how to do this or if it's possible? All I can do is use kbdcontrol to switch from my PS/2 to USB keyboard. This is fine as the USB Keyboard in question is a word processor that I only rarely need to connect. But under Linux I could connect both at the same time, so it would be handy if I could do the same here.

Getting Evolution, Java, Tomcat, OpenOffice outside of Ports
Is there a CD set that has these common/larger pieces of software for purchase. I'm on a modem and just starting to run FreeBSD. I'd like to run a couple of these, but imagine that download would take forever. Any advice would be appreciated.
