I've seen this somewhere before; but I can't find it. How to backstep the ports
collection to a previous release.
Since the current xorg port is banged up for my equipment I want to backstep it
to release 7.1.
-or can I connect to a previous package collection?
Thanks.

So I got Xorg working with Hal. Wahoo.
If I log in from a display manager I encounter some weird stuff.
If I am using xdm and I log out of the window manager and then attempt to shut

I am suddenly running into the same problem. I was running Firefox 2.0... and
when I right-clicked an image and selected "save as" the program
segment-faulted. I upgraded to firefox-3.0.16_1,1. Same issue. I'm guessing
it's related to some other port that got updated along the way.

I'm trying to batch-rip audio files from a bunch of video files.
I have a directory full of *.vob files:

02.vob 04.vob 06.vob 08.vob 10.vob 12.vob
So I wrote a little command line script to rip wave files from all the vob's:

I just noticed that openoffice (openoffice.org-3.1.1) is not checking my
spelling. The spell checker on my system is aspell-0.60.6_2. gtkspell-2.0.15_1
is also installed. Before sending this email I tried installing
ispell-3.3.02_4. No improvement.
How do I get Ooo to check my spelling?

start here:
