Oh sure, no doubt a collection of "I cd'd into /usr/ports/someplace and ran somesuch and why didn't a binary come down and install, where's rpm, where's rpm manager, I wanna go hoooommme wahhhhh!!!" > There was some serious work done on version 4.05, > but it was not perfected.

If the poster breathes a word about needing a GUI then they are probably incapabable of compiling software from source. Note to folks - FreeBSD ain't Linux. We compile binaries here, we don't download someone else's. rpm is a linux "thang" not a FreeBSD component. Ted
