i agree. meanwhile i've upgraded the system to 4.7... had been meaning to anyway 😉

i hoped as much, thanks for confirming that.

yes, i can confirm that, meanwhile ;)

You may need them for 4.5.

thanks for the tips. that's exactly where i'm stuck at the moment. i'm sure i'll get back to you on your offer for freebsd specific help!
n.b. this is just a test-setup using an old 200 mhz pentium. after that i'm planning to deploy it on two different 'real world' freebsd 4.7 systems and will write a "walkthrough" for installing openacs 4.6 on freebsd 4.7 (the day i'm finished with that, i'm sure freebsd 4.8 and openacs 4.7 will be released *g*)
