Yours can be one of the correct solutions (as always there are several ways to do something in Unix). What I usually do is to place everything that is custom into the local directory/package within the ISO (of course in this case the makefiles are modified accordingly). Anyways for details...

I have just installed LibreOffice the other day from ports without any problems. Though I do not know which version it was.

It is official now. The ISOs seem to have not been changed since they first appeared.

My only problem was that bsdinstall reported src.txz to have a wrong checksum though the image file FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img itself was with the expected checksum. Should this be reported somewhere? I downloaded the image from the Slovenian mirror site.

9.1-RELEASE seems to be available on the FTP sites. I am just downloading it from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/.

Yes. For example I run a Windows Vista guest on my FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE host to use Windows-only applications. It is simple. I set it up according to the description here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox. There are some minor problems though I cannot adjust sound in the guest for example.

Sure. I suspect bsdinstall and sysinstall interference but I can not prove. That is why I am trying to ask your kind help to discover the reason.

A few days ago I ran into the following message when booting up my FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE laptop: ** /dev/ada0s3b Cannot find file system superblock ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device fsck_ufs: /dev/ada0s3b: can't read disk label It reported that this is my /usr/home partition. I tried...

If you are not on a rather old version of Perl then you may simply use a my (local) variable as a file handle (instead that old-school FH handle and typeglobbing). This can also easily be passed as an argument: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; sub proc_file { my $handle = shift...

It is built in the machine so I do not know. Here is a section of /var/run/dmesg.boot though: acpi0: <ACRSYS ACRPRDCT> on motherboard acpi0: Power Button (fixed) unknown: I/O range not supported Timecounter "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 950 Event timer "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz...

I have an AuthenTec AES1610 fingerprint reader installed in my laptop that is listed as a known product according to /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. My question would be: how could I use this device? My system is: freebsd90# uname -a FreeBSD freebsd90 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #1: Fri...

Adding someone to wheel does not mean root privileges. This is just a group (that is the owner group of lots of files and directories). It still depends on the permissions of the file in question if a member of wheel can open it or not. Example: My user is member of wheel but is not able to...

I followed the directions for Opera found in the handbook for the Linux compatibility and for the browser. Now it works fine for me.

It is just a guess but I think you should simply exit this menu to go on with other settings.

We have a FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE server configured to use quotas with UFS. Everything works fine except that there is no message when the user's quota is exceeded. Is there a way to configure the system to emit some messages to syslog when quota related events happen? I can see that there are...

No, but they might have better support of your hardware. As it was in my case: 8.1-RELEASE had no support at all of my NIC. 9.0-RELEASE works with no problem.

Once I tried and it resulted a panic on my system as well. So I forgot about it. I do not even understand what this safe mode is good for (I know: it disables a lot of things).

Ports tree was up-to-date already. p5-OpenGL was still not installed so portupgrade did not help. Any other suggestion?

I'm trying to install p5-OpenGL. I get the error: freebsd90# pwd /usr/ports/graphics/p5-OpenGL freebsd90# make install clean ===> Building for p5-OpenGL-0.66_1 make: cannot open Makefile. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/p5-OpenGL. I checked and it's true, there is no Makefile...

My gess is that already running terminals will display according to the old configuration, so they need a restart. I think an escape to single user mode and come back to multiuser would be enough (this is faster than a reboot but take care: network connections are lost, users are thrown out)...
