After installing all the standard distributions under 2.2.6 and the ports, I am still missing things like tcsh, pine, etc. (which is ok cause the 'The Complete FreeBSD' book tells me to read chapter 7). I take it all the software I could want to start out with is in /usr/ports. To build and install everything (if I have enough room in /usr...which I have 4GB) I would simply type make, then make install? Also what is the difference from installing the ports and installing the additional packages during the installation program? The install program takes like HOURS. -- Tom Mullaney <tpm@jovian.net> Jovian Networks, LLC nic: TM6112 Townsend, MA 01469-1182 icq: 4139015 (978) 597.0200 aim: tpmullaney http://www.jovian.net/~tpm -- Unix, networking, administration, consulting, programming, Internet services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
