Hi I am trying to get OO 1.1.2 running on 4.10 I have KDE installed. I have managed to install the software, but now I cannot run it. When I installed, I could not execute the installation instructions from a command line as requested, but there were no permission problems as suggested.

openoffice install and java JRE on 4.10

HI, I have trouble getting my openoffice installation to run on fbsd 4.10. (subject of previous questions) I just remembered that I installed it without the java JRE option, because I didnt have the slightest idea where to get that (or even what it is) Can someone tell me where to get the java

Review of what I need to install

Hi, In my first install of freeBSD 4.10, i selected X-developer and installed all the sources - not really knowing what I might need. I have 6 Gigs, and I keep running out of disk space when installing ports. I think I need to start again and select a smaller install. Eventually, I want to use

cannot understand name peter.first.try

Hi, This is probably a contender for the dumbest question of the year. When I defined my IP address in the freeBSD installation, I had to give a name. All the examples use something like the one I entered, i.e. peter.first.try, except they often used a xxx.xxx.com. Could someone point me to

reading CD directory

Hi, I made bootable CD's from the 2 installation floppies for freeBSD 4.10. Is there someway I can see what is on these disks. I suspect one may be bad, even though I have used it many times. I can easily cut another, but I was wondering if there was some way to check the directory or contents

can I use Make from within KDE Shell Konsole

It is safe to install ports from within KDE ? At present I shut down KDE, go to the command line and start a Make. If I need to get a file manually from somewhere, I go back into KDE to get it. I would rather do it all from within KDE if possible. The Shell Konsole appears to be the same as

Hi Jay, I am quite confused about this diablo jre install. I just tried installing diablo jre 13 from the ports collection, but it tells me to get the file manually from freebsdfoundation. The file it wants me to download is diablo-latte-1.3.1-0.tar.bz2 I had already put a downloaded file

RE: backspace and delete keys behavior

I've got the same thing on the 2 machines i am experimenting with. I am new and thought it was a standard feature :) I also defined a standard US 101 keyboard. Makes me think there is a setting or choice at installation that deals with this, rather than having to patch something. I counted my

I am very new, and have been reinstalling FreeBSD many times to clean up whatever mess i make and start again. I recently used cvsup to update my ports collection for the 4.10_RELEASE. Now, when I reinstall, it takes much longer because i bring in the updated ports collection rather than the

how to resolve openldap version conflict

Hi, I am trying to install Samba3 from the ports collection onto freeBSD 4.10. The Make terminated because there was an earlier version of openldap already installed, and the new one wanted to store files in the same directory. When i tried to pkg_delete the old version, it refused, saying

Hi Mike, I see from my digging around that you are the author of portmanager, so I hope its ok to send questions in your direction. I have KDE installed as a package, and I assume that its dependency openldap also came as part of the package. Can I use portmanager to upgrade the package ?

Thanks Matthew. Somehow I again find myself better informed, much entertained, and pleasantly foolish. Hopefully I am soon to acquire the skill of looking for things in the places where they can be found. Thanks again. Peter So I had all the numbers, etc. at my fingertips anyhow. And,

I have just installed 4.10R (again :)). I did not install KDE from packages. As soon as I installed the bare system I cvsup'd all the ports, then did a make install kde3. This completed successfully, albeit in 3 days. I then tried to make package for kde so I wouldnt need to compile it again.
