As said somewhere else: run use.perl
But better still: make a habit of reading the *end_screen* after a port
install. Very often useful information is diplayed there.

I run two 4.11-stable machines here and both compile firefox from ports

Run a window manager (fvwm2?) ;-)
The needed (kde) libs always need to be installed though.

Install kdelibs and run their filemanager. Kdm-3.1.2's preview function
is really great ;-)

This was it! Pure and simple. Nothing else needed. Just "portinstall
mplayer" installed player, fonts, codecs, gui, and
Under windows I normally use bsplayer which automatically loads the
subtitles for a given movie. Mplayer does the same luckely, BUT..
Bsplayer shows the subtitles *very-neatly* _under_ the (widescreen)
movie, without taking up space on the moviescreen itself.. This is a
very nice property imho.

I don't get it. Running mplayer on Debian/GNU linux I get a subtitle
fontsize that is quit pleasant for the eye, whilst under FreeBSD the
(arial) font is much too large. It does not improve if I choose another
scale factor. What can I do about this font being too large? I have the
same TTF fonts in

Does anybody know why us users of FreeBSD-4.8 are left out of support of
vmware version-3? What can be the reason that _only_ fbsd5 and up is
supported? The latter *IS* a developers branch, so everybody w/
production machines can only use vmware-2.x, which is much slower than
the later version 3.x
I've downloaded the binaries for OpenOffice (openoffice-1.0.3_2.tgz) but
now I'm not sure how to "install" this tgz file.
Can I use pkg_add openoffice-1.0.3_2 and if so, where do I place the tgz
file?
Or must I use another way?
-(there's no install file in the tgz)-

Reading about sylpheed on this mailinglist I got curious.
My CLI favo client is mutt, but in X I use kmail. It starts rather slow,
'cause I'm not running kde but fvwm. It *does* show however my received
