Basically, these hits were for ethereal or ethereal-lite. The directory was /usr/ports/net/ethereal. I tried to cd to that directory and nothing. The directory doesn't exist. I go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html and search for ethereal, same thing, no hits. Same result after searching through http://www.freshports.org. So, I remembered being told (from someone here) to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for questions to be answered about issues like this. I went to see that file and there was nothing in it about ethereal. Well, that is, no hits in vim after searching for "ethereal" or "Ethereal". So, long story short, what happened to it? Why was it removed? If it was because there was no maintainer, that doesn't make any sense since many of the ports I've found are marked as "no maintainer". Can I simply download and install and expect it to work? Thanks, Andy
