Because a lot of newbies to Windows don't even know what/where setup.exe is to start a program. So to make it easier to install Office after Windows has been installed, AR is on by default. I agree with you though, autorun(NOT automount) IS a security risk & I have have it disabled. > > > Is it so hard to edit a text file like rc.conf and add a simple line > > > like this? > > > > > > amd_enable="YES" I edited rc.conf & added the line: amd_enable="YES" However, my devices(Floppy & CDROM) are not automounting after logging in or starting X ??? In the process view of BSD, I have amd as waiting Trying to understand man amd isn't helping. Any ideas ??? I have some other problems as well: 1) Trying to search for a file I get the error: 127# locate mysql locate: database too small: /var/db/locate.database 2) I deleted the installed package xfce4, then added it again but xfce4 still won't start. Is the warnings(about versions) given when I add the package(below) a cause of why it won't start ??? 127# pkg_add xfce4-wm-4.0.5.tgz pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'jpeg-6b_3', but 'jpeg-6b_2' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'python-2.3.4', but 'python-2.3.3_5' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'png-1.2.5_5', but 'png-1.2.5_3' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'glib-2.4.2', but 'glib-2.4.0' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'shared-mime-info-0.14_3', but 'shared-mime-info-0.14_2' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'pango-1.4.0_1', but 'pango-1.4.0' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'gtk-2.4.3_1', but 'gtk-2.4.0' is installed pkg_add: warning: package 'xfce4-wm-4.0.5' requires 'startup-notification-0.7', but 'startup-notification-0.6' is installed 3)I am trying to install Apachetoolbox-1.5.70(it may well be a BigApache for BSD :)) - but I get the errors "Command not found" trying to run it: 127# pwd /usr/ports/distfiles/Apachetoolbox-1.5.70 127# ls CHANGE MIRROR bin etc src INSTALL README contrib install.sh 127# ./install. sh ./install.: Command not found. 127# ./install sh ./install: Command not found. 127# ./install ./install: Command not found. then I tried using bash after reading: Install =-=-=-= 1) as root run ./install.sh ****************************************************************************** Solaris/BSD users, the script interpreter of install.sh is BASH (/bin/bash). Bash should be used, YMMV if you change it to /bin/sh. ****************************************************************************** 127# bash bash-2.05# pwd /usr/ports/distfiles/Apachetoolbox-1.5.70 bash-2.05# ls CHANGE MIRROR bin etc src INSTALL README contrib install.sh bash-2.05# ./install bash: ./install: No such file or directory bash-2.05# ./install.sh bash: ./install.sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory bash-2.05# ./install bash: ./install: No such file or directory Any ideas to these 3 last problems ???
