If you aren't familiar with that, read Chapter 4 of the FreeBSD handbook. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/po= rts-using.html In short, you will probably end up doing something like: pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui cvsup -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile cd /usr/ports/www/opera make install && make clean But read the Handbook section for more explanation. - Bob
