That doesn't work. FreeBSD-5.3-release does not have current packages.=20
They are dinosaurs the day after they unlock the port system from a=20
release. You have to look for packages in 5-stable/.../Latest.

Such as
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/

The package site always lags behind the port system. If you want current=20
applications, you have to cvsup and then build them on your system. You=20
have choices but you have to understand the options.
