index | next in thread | raw e-mail
First I would like to report that /stand/sysinstall has some trouble
installin the netscape 3.01 gold package. It reports something like
"unable to fetch package upmtyscratch." I was able to do this manually
so I require no response to this.
I am running FreeBSd 2.1.5 on a P100. I run X using startx.
The 'specific' reason for asking these 'general' questions about
environment variables will became apparent in a bit.
How does one set an environment variable?
Is an environment variable established on a system wide or per user
basis?
Where does on set an environment variable for the user/system?
Now to the specifics. The rest of this is mostly non-freebsd related.
Any help offered will be appreciated.
I can't get proper keyboard function in netscape. The supplied docs
don't either don't address my situation or I don't understand what they
are telling me.
When installing netscape 3.01 the README docs tell me to put a file
XKeysymDB into /usr/lib/X11/ which doesn't exist on the FreeBSD tree.
I intuited that this file should be placed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. The
keyboard still did not function properly for netscape after I did this.
The netscape README also says that the use of the file XKeysymDB default
location can be overidden by the "elusive :)" environment variable.
Hence the reason for asking the above questions. What variable must I
set and where is it?
Will setting up netscape using XKeysymDB mess up the normal keyboard
mapping? How does this relate to xmodmap?
