Hi all,
I have been using /usr/ports/www/firefox for sometime now.
Recently I installed /usr/ports/www/linux-mozillafirebird to experiment with
some of the plugins. Something that I noticed was that linux-mozillafirebird is
blazingly fast compared to firefox.
I'm talking about the speed at which

Hi all,
This morning I wanted to edit an ISO to instruct the kernel to redirect its
output to serial.
i.e
# sudo vnconfig -v -c /dev/vn0 5.3-BETA1-i386-miniinst.iso
# sudo mount -t cd9660 -o rw /dev/vn0 /mnt
# sudo tcsh
# echo "/boot/loader -h" > boot.config
boot.config: Read-only file system.

Hi all,
When building a port are the distfiles that are fetched given the permissions from the

If so is there a way to change the permissions of the distfiles once they are

I could change the perms of them
Howdy all,
When setting the the sytem/user immutable flag on a file is there anyway

Or is there a command to check this ?

Yes.
You need to install an Xserver on your Windows box.
Best product around is Xwin32: http://www.starnet.com/products/

Which mozilla are you using? the BSD version or linux-mozilla?
I think this plugin stuff works only with the linux-mozilla port.
