Re: can you help me decide

2004-04-11 Thread Rilindo Foster
It's beena while since I touched OpenBSD, but while I liked it as a nice
secure server, I don't know about it good for desktop use (as compared
to FreeBSD). 

Otherwise, I think you wouldn't go wrong with either one.

 Can you plz help me, i know i am on a freebsd list but i would wish 
 somebody could help me decide. it's between the BSDs, either: FreeBSD, 
 NetBSD, and OpenBSD, i have almost narrowed it down. I am a lil more 
 worried about security than portability so i guess that leaves OpenBSD 
 and FreeBSD. I just want a desktop and i heard they all make good ones

Re: Do I really need to rebuilding *everything*

2004-03-22 Thread Rilindo Foster
Well, as a footnote, I went right ahead and patched the machine, then
did make buildworld, installworld, make kernel, install kernel. . . . .
and so far, everything is a-okay. :D

  Or does it mean it ONLY uses shared libraries?
 
 You can also use the ldd command to list the specific shlibs linked
 by a program, but you can usually assume that if it's dynamically
 linked, it has dynamically linked all its libraries too. 
 Theoretically, a program could have linked directly to
 /usr/lib/libssl.a, but most of the time they just use -lssl, which will
 prefer shared libraries over static.

Do I really need to rebuilding *everything*

2004-03-20 Thread Rilindo Foster
Okay, so there is this openssl vulnerability out there and I need to
patch the OS and then do the makeworld/buildworld.

Question is, can I get away with rebuilding my entire ports collection?
With about 300 apps complied, I really don't want to do it. ;_;

Re: Pkgdb Problem -- /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:35:in

2004-02-28 Thread Rilindo Foster
I had that a similiar problem - it broken portversion. I went and
reinstalled it from the ports and everything is well again - you might
need to do the same as well.

Re: OpenOffice 1.1 + gtk2 look n feel

2003-11-15 Thread Rilindo Foster
Yes, it actually takes that long - it took me about over a day on my
machine (and that's only because my compiler crashed twice).

Re: RV: FW: Script configure failed unexpectedly

2003-11-14 Thread Rilindo Foster
How did you install jdk first place? Did you download it into the
distfiles older and let FreeBSD take care of the installation?

Please report the problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

attach the

  /config.log
including the output of the failure of your make command. Also,
  it might
be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed

system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`).
