Obviously, *you also need linux compatibility.* A good way to test this (and get a useful app in the process) is the acroread7 port. ***Finally, most importantly*** be careful about running make && make install in an alternatively old/totally-updated version of the ports tree. I bet you would get some strange results if it started installing dependencies from late 2005. So assuming linux compat, firefox-1.5, etc., try this: 0. UPDATE YOUR PORTS TREE 1. REVERT TO OLD ports-www your ports-supfile probably contains this (excluding commented lines): > *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org > *default base=/var/db > *default prefix=/usr > *default release=cvs tag=. > *default delete use-rel-suffix > *default compress > ports-all now we're going to *temporarily* change it to: >> *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org >> *default base=/var/db >> *default prefix=/usr >> *default release=cvs tag=. >> *default delete use-rel-suffix > *default date=2005.11.24.12.12.12 >> *default compress > #ports-all > ports-www (so you should have commented out one line, uncommented one line, and added a date line.) now use cvsup to get the old ports-www!!! <--- important 2. UNDO CHANGES TO ports-supfile 3. MAKE && MAKE INSTALL CLEAN linux-firefox 4. CREATE A NEW PROFILE FOR linux-firefox call it "music" or something > linux-firefox -P & 5. RUN firefox WITH YOUR OLD USER PROFILE 6. RUN linux-firefox WITH YOUR "music" USER PROFILE good luck.
