You need to change the root for fetching the packages to a different path, i. e. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/ See "man pkg_add" for details - PACKAGEROOT has to be set to the mentioned path. There are no 7.4-release packages on the FTP server, but the 7-stable packages should work. You could also use ftp to manually fetch the packages and then install them without the -r flag; note that this case does not involve any dependency resolution! ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/gmake.tbz ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/perl.tbz If possible, you may consider updating your system to a newer version, 8.3 or 9.0 if it fits your requirements. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
