Hi, Please correct me if this is the incorrect address/method to obtain technical support. However, if it is, I would be grateful if you could help me with FreeBSD. I rescently installed it on my system. The problem came when I tried to install one of the ports. I have a single cdrom distribution of FreeBSD, and mounted it with the command: mount /dev/acd0c (I'm not exactly sure of the device name I used, but I know it mounted the CDROM succesfuly, as I could browse it in /cdrom). I then went to /usr/src/ports/editors/emacs. There, I typed 'make'. Unfortunately, it spouted a ton of errors at me. It would appear that it is trying to download the ports from an FTP connection, as opposed to using the CDROM. I have read the BSD handbook, but I can find no reference to this problem, and have followed all the steps as instructed. I am using FreeBSD version 4.0. Thankyou for your help.
