Re: chmod operation on directories / files

How do I chmod separately files and directories?
If I use chmod -R 644 then it will go through all the subdirectories
assigning everything 644 permissions, directories including.
How about?
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
If there are a lot of them, you might want to pipe to xargs.

Do you know which computer manufactures, both laptop and desktop, which can run FreeBSD? Do you recommend any particular models or know of which ones are more highly regarded? What about support? I am a newbie and would need some handholding. I will be using the computer to run a small business and online research. I would need the regular suite of productivity tools, hopefully an open source. I would like to punt MS. Thanks. eracks.com offers open source systems, including FreeBSD, on the box, out of the box. (: I have not dealt with them, so I can't relate any experience with their performance or support, but they certainly look worth investigating. endpcnoise.com is open source friendly, although you'll probably have to install the software yourself. Their site only mentions Ubuntu (last I looked), but I'm running FreeBSD on one of their machines right now. Nice machine, and everything I need works. You might also want to check for any screwdriver shops in your town that could take the hardware list from http://freebsd.org and assemble a compatible system that suites your needs. Keep us posted.

Re: Where to have my .so files install?

Hi all.
I'm writing a program which uses .so files as plugins. Now I need
to decide where on the filesystem to install the plugins. I don't
want to clutter the system locations like /lib and /usr/lib. Can
anyone suggest a decent install location? Google doesn't help much
with this.
When I'm developing stuff, I often put everything in ${HOME}/local. You
will probably have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ${HOME}/local/lib for the
linker to see the libraries. When I am satisfied that I have a mature
application or libary, I install to /usr/local.
Happy coding!

Re: A couple of questions about 7.0-RELEASE and X11
The configure program is now /usr/local/bin/xorgconfig . You might also want to try 'X -configure' , which does some hardware probing and puts a best guess configure file in /root/xorg.conf.new . The X documentation can still be a bit sketchy. Above advice came from books.

It doesn't appear to have xorgcfg in it anywhere? Has this handy program been abandoned? I'm running it on an old SAMTRON 5Ei monitor of unknown HorizontalSync and VerticalSync patterns, and the card type is reported as S3. There are a couple of ways to configure the xorg.conf file available - but none seem to be producing any useable results. The handbook is clear and concise - but none of it works. I did a clean install of 7.0 and put X on at the time. But even the manual talks about xorgcfg - but its no where to be found? Should it be there? Or has it been discontinued? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: what happened to linuxflashplugin?

Counterexample: When I was shopping for a new parachute rig, one of the manufacturers I was interested in turned out to have a Flash-only website. I could of course have decided not to buy there because their website sucks, but when it comes to equipment that's supposed to be going to save my life hundreds of times I'd much rather base the decision on the quality of the product than on the technical soundness of a website, thank you :-) I don't mean to ridicule your principles, I merely mean to point out that in my opinion it's not always as black and white as you make it seem. Tell the vendor. I wanted to shop at a web site (wickers.com), but it was useless without Flash. I sent an email saying I wanted to place an order, but I could not view their site. It was fixed enough to be functional the next day, and I placed an order. They re-launched the site several weeks later. It still recommends, but does not demand, Flash. I do not know if the changes were a response to complaints, but I think complaining was worthwhile.
