To install a port: cd /usr/ports/category/program make su; make install The system will automatically fetch the distfiles from the net if you don't have them in /usr/ports/distfiles from the CDROM. To uninstall, do pkg_delete port-x.x. Use /var/db/pkg/ as a reference for the name. I believe this information is in the Handbook.
