Before these messages it also said passive ftp enabled. I then used FBSD web/ports to locate the package and downloaded to a win box and then moved it to FBSD. I can not get pkg_add to find and use this package tgz file. Does the package tgz file have to be in some directory for the pkg_add to find it? IF so where? How do I get pkg_add to use the local package.tgz file to install from? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
