restore various level dump files
If i have 3 dump(1)-files from a filesystem and restore them via restore -i -f dump-file, how do I layer them together? That is, how do I tell restore that I want to restore a level 0, 1, and 2? Do I run "restore -i -f dump-0" and then "restore -i -f dump-1" and then "restore -i -f dump-2" in that order? Is there some way I can tell restore that more than one level is available? "restore -i -f dump-0 -f dump-1 -f dump-2" doesn't work. If I restore a level 0 and then a level 1, will the level 1 delete files that were removed when the level 1 was taking (like rsync -a --delete) or do I get a bunch of stale files lying around? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanks for the tip. I just installed wine-0.9.56,1 from ports and installed the win32 version for Firefox, installed Adobe Flash, and everything seems to work mostly fine on my FreeBSD 7.0 box. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
state of flash on FreeBSD 7?
Like Javascript, with regards to Flash, what was once a nuisance has more or less become a necessity. I turned off JS on my browsers for several years and avoided most popup/web issues that people had. Nowadays, I can leave it on because Firefox plus some plugins do a good job of blocking most of the crap and because it doesn't destabilize the browser like it once used to. So what's the deal with Flash? Occasionally, I will get a link on YouTube/Google Video that looks interesting, but for the most part, I've ignored them. Over the years, I have occasionally tried the mozilla flash plugin, but that has always crashed my browser within the first 10 minutes of use. So for those of you using FreeBSD 7, what is the current state of Flash? Can it be used regularly? Is it ready for the BSD desktop? Caveats? Comments?

Please explain what you mean by "local accounts". If I'm not mistaken from reading your reply, this implies one of two things: 1. That I have two IMAP servers, one where I get all my mail, and a second one where I push mail after I have filtered/archived it. The first one should only by used by fetchmail, the second one is read by my various IMAP MUAs. 2. That I somehow have write access to the backend of my IMAP server, so I can pull all the mail from INBOX, do my archiving/filtering, and then repush to various folders and read from there. Is that correct? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
archiving all IMAP mail?
I need to strictly archive all mail sent to me. For some time I've been using fetchmail/getmail from ports to suck down (every 5 minutes or so) the IMAP mail sent by my ISP and send it through procmail where I make a copy and then archive it (I also do my filtering into various mailboxes in procmail). I then use my mail user agent to read the mail from a local machine. This has worked fine all these years, but now I am switching to the paradigm where I am checking mail from multiple clients, so I plan on using IMAP-aware user agents. As I understand it, these IMAP-aware user agents operate directly on the IMAP spool. How can I archive my mail before it reaches them? Also, how do I do my filtering to various mailboxes? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
restore(1) dumpfile to directory rather than filesystem -- possible?
On a 6.2 system, I am making some backups using dump(1) I would like to test the integrity of these dumpfiles by using restore(1) to restore them. However, I don't have an actual live filesystem available to test this oncan I just restore to a directory on an existing fs to be sure? Is this even possible? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Netgear WG111T Wireless USB support?
Does FreeBSD support the Netgear WG111T Wireless USB device? I purchased it based on the fact that it uses an Atheros chipset, which according to the 6.2R hardware notes: "The ath(4) driver supports all Atheros Cardbus or PCI cards", I guess that excludes USB?

need Linux help (watch and LVS)
Can someone tell me the FreeBSD equivalent of the Linux command "watch". In Linux, watch is like top, but you can run it against any command and have it refresh every N seconds. There is a watch command in FreeBSD but it does something else entirely. Also, does FreeBSD have an equivalent for Linux LVS?

X on ThinkPad crashes after sleeping (zzz'ing)
Hardware: IBM ThinkPad T41 OS: FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p7 My laptop recently started exhibiting very weird behavior. Sleeping still works fine, but when I bring it back from sleep, X Windows seems to have crashed. Whatever is on the screen (fvwm, xscreensaver, etc.) will still be there, but there is a few lines of weird red symbols accross the top. It will be in a frozen state, and there is nothing I can do to get the machine to respond apart from doing a cold boot. Any ideas why this is happening or how to debug it? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
switching between WAPs
I have two primary WAPs that I connect to on my FreeBSD desktop, my rc.conf contains these entries: ifconfig_ipw0="ssid wap1 DHCP" ifconfig_ipw0="ssid wap2 DHCP" The problem is that depending on which place I am at, I have to boot up, have networking fail, edit the rc.conf file, comment out the WAP I am not using and uncomment the WAP I am using and either restart netif or reboot. I have to do this everytime I go to the other wap. That OS from the NorthWestern US seems to keep a list of WAPs and will detect whenever you are in the vicinity of one and use the available one. How can I get FreeBSD to do the same? C ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
