How about building from souce from the ports dir, does that work? Were ever the mirror is at, try pointing it to another server.

Back to rawhide, I had gentoo on here this weekend and I realized I kept building it to be like fedora....

once your 30 days is up, you can either mv to CentOS, using yum to keep updated or you can down load the updated srpms and: rpmbuild --rebuild package.src.rpm Which you would actually pull the updates from here: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/upd...AS/en/os/SRPMS/ Which you could find new updates by following stuff like this Security Advisories https://www.redhat.com/security/updates/advisory/ Mailing list for Security Advi. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ent...ise-watch-list/ RSS feed: http://rhn.redhat.com/rpc/recent-errata.pxt UPdate Notes (package list) from one quarter update to the next: https://www.redhat.com/security/updates/notes/

You can get it for free, have at it! ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/ent.../os/i386/SRPMS/ Or just d/l CentOS 4.x :) RH is charging for support, the OS is free. Heck, if you don't want to mess with SRPMS. http://www.redhat.com/en_us/USA/rhel/details/eval/ Download the real ISO's for FREE and use RHN (very nice) FREE for a month. After that, either rebuild SRPMS-updates and install them, or switch to CentOS by d/l these rpms: centos-release-4-2.1.i386.rpm centos-yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.i386.rpm python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-2.noarch.rpm sqlite-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm yum2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 or there updated onese by now. cp /etc/redhat-release ~ rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 rpm -Uvh *.rpm yum update Now you have a RHEL 4.x clone with yum :)

I've been getting bored lately, went through about 6 distro's on my lappy since last week :)

You're going backwards? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Speaking of old school

Looks very clean and nice, good job! :)

You can check out these too http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/ http://johnturner.com/howto/apache2-tomcat...sol8-howto.html or go to bigadmin and do some more filtered searchs for tomcat http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/home/index.html

bash-3.00# uname -mivpr 5.11 snv_28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60 bash-3.00# pwd /usr/apache/tomcat/bin On Solaris 11ish ;) tomcat is in /usr/apache Not sure about 9, but I think in 8 it used to be in /usr/local some were. You could run a find through /usr find /usr -name tomcat /usr/apache/tomcat

JAMD <- died about 2 years ago LormaLinux <-- still appears to be alive http://linux.lorma.edu/main/ Those are the two I was thinking of.

Looks interesting, starts with a good "core" ;) Sounds sort of like Loma? Lorma? something like that and another one that started a couple years ago. I'm running to many OS's at the moment for another one, besides my list below i have ubuntu on my laptop playing around and gentoo on another drive on my amd64 :) I was trying to install netbsd 3.0 "i386" on my amd64 but it wouldn't boot so BAH! Might try the amd64 -v but I wasn't impressed with freebsd64 reminds me of deb*64. FreeBSD 6.0 "i386" is awesome for me though! Might as well call me a distro ho again........ :o

In the boot menu, have you tried to boot without apic? As far as memory, not sure how that would fit in.

Fedora is considered a "Gnome" distro, but you can install kde and gui it up just like any other kde. I'm a gnome person my self.

aye, I like to stress it :) Great thing with linux though, I can be killing it like that and all my apps are responsive like nothing is going on :)

That would be the system-monitor, showing that I'm killing my system :lol: All in a days work Running several things, mainly compiling gnome is taxing it, but I was also running vmware (at work) and nomachine client on doing some work.

I know, so original of me, but heh, I like the look and the only one that is forced to look at my laptop is me :)

Awesome, glad your staying with it, once you get it down, it gets better ;)

Thats cool, I used bsd off/on over the years and frustration was certainly part of it :) I'm doing a lot of work on solaris10 and rh right now so i really should stop booting into bsd to play :)

Yeah, I didn't think about that tell i was playing on a different box. Hopefully that will do you up right.

Yes, uncomment it. If your at gnome-2.12 then I would say you are updated on your ports :)

um, I might have forgot to tell you to edit /etc/portsnap.conf see if your PORTSDIR=/usr/ports is commented out, making sure that it is updating the correct ports. One of the ways to tell after a portsnap update is check out something like vi /usr/ports/x11/gnome2/Makefile You should see version 2.12.2, if you see that then you know that it is updating the ports tree.

What was the error you recieved, I've been keeping mine updated since I installed it. Might have ran into similar stuff but don't remember :lol: Currently installing Gnome-2.13.2 ;)

wonder why it would remove kde, very odd. Welp, if you want to reinstall, might be easier at this point, once it is install, use portsnap, then install kde/gnome whatever else, Oh if you go that route, backup your xorg.conf :) and your rc.conf

Not sure I follow the question?

I know in gnome that it adds items to menus automatically, but normally have to log out/in to see them. If you installed gnome before updating your ports then you will have 2.10.x :) If your going to update gnome, use the update script found here. http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq212.html#q2
