    Why firefox installed with mutt-devel

    OK, I was finally able to pkg_delete -f firefox-3.5.10,1 and it worked. Started mutt-devel and was able to send out an email, so mutt does seem to run ok. I also installed and ran pkg_cutleaves, but it didn't have anything to delete after I deleted firefox. Thank-you all for your help and time...

    Why firefox installed with mutt-devel

    Ok, thanks guys. I'll try the pkg_delete -f first, then the other ideas. I'd like to have this system ready today, but no problem if it takes till tomorrow. I'll be back later with results (whatever they are).

    Why firefox installed with mutt-devel

    SirDice, if the 1.4.* (stable) version doesn't require all the extra (bloat), can I get rid of everything (including dependencies) by doing pkg_delete -r firefox-3.5.10,1 and perhaps the same with urlview and mutt-devel? I could then install mutt-1.4.* Since this is a new install, perhaps just...

    nope :( Only 2 lines in /etc/make.conf. # added by use.perl 2010-10-28 17:29:03 PERL_VERSION=5.10.1 Thanks for your help! Appreciated. Also, fwiw, I didn't install ports. Not enough room ;)

    Why firefox installed with mutt-devel

    I set up an old pc (350mhz) with FreeBSD 8.1 to use for torrents. The hd is only 6.3gig, so it's a fairly minimal install, but I needed email on it. I installed mutt, fetchmail, msmtp (along with openssl). However, firefox and urlview were installed as dependencies of mutt! I tried to...

    Broadcom Wireless chips support

    fwiw, I'm on freebsd 8.0, with an 4318. Got it all working about 2 days ago. Just boot, log in, and go. Quite pleased :)

    Does FreeBSD 8.1 sysinstall write MBR anyway?

    FWIW, I had it happen to me on 8.0 just yesterday. I had to use an linux cd to re-install grub to MBR. Acer Aspire 3000

    FreeBSD and Ham Radio

    al7.. here. Not in Alaska ATM, but will return in the not to distant future. Been using FreeBSD since 2.2.1, but not using it with the radio. Would love to be, but radio isn't even on now due to where I'm living :(

    Your favorite text based application

    Since I use mutt, I have to add fetchmail or getmail and msmtp. Easier than sendmail ;)

    blank screen with flashing cursor when booting 7.2

    I booted the livecd and mounted the FreeBSD slice, but this time no partitions were shown :( Even tried going through fixit and a standard install to get to the disk label. Both showed no partitions, just the 12gig slice :( Guess something really got hosed and I'll start over with a fresh...

    blank screen with flashing cursor when booting 7.2

    Yes, install was fine. In fact, had it running for about 5 straight days. I "faked" an upgrade, and when entering bsdlabel, all partitions are there also.

    blank screen with flashing cursor when booting 7.2

    When trying to boot my 7.2 system, that's all I get :( Nothing. I booted my 7.2 livefs cd and check /boot. loader.conf was an empty file, so I copied /boot/defaults/loader.conf to /boot/, changed the disk part to read disk1s3(a?) and rebooted. Still nothing. All my freebsd partitions are...

    fastest & lightest window-manager ?

    This may be the wrong place to ask, but would any of you care to share what you have in your menu file? I would be interested in fvwm, icewm, pekwm. FWIW, my computer (till I get a new power supply for another one) is 350mhz with 250megs ram. I run FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Vectorlinux 6.0...

    upgrading to 7.1-rc2 doesn't work

    I also upgraded from 7.0 -> 7.1-RC2. Other than one mistake in an /etc file, 7.1-RC2 is running great.

    root mail

    DutchDaemon, the problem was with pf.conf. Don't know how the set skip lo0 got commented out but it was :( Thanks for your help.

    root mail

    nope, telnet doesn't work to localhost. I have stopped and started sendmail, and even rebooted. (I know, I know ;) ) Will check pf.conf. I am on another hd to run a bios upgrade for this old machine, so will get back with what I find in pf.conf. Thanks for all the help/suggestions!

    root mail

    mybox# mailq /var/spool/mqueue is empty /etc/aliases is setup correctly for user (mike) to receive roots email. Yes, I ran newaliases :) Will try senmail_enable="NO". Hadn't thought of that. Thanks.
