China X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b5aGold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: ports@freebsd.org Subject: question in installing packages Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-ports@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I'm a novice to FreeBSD, perhaps the following is a stupid question-- I've tried to install some ports to my system and it runs well. Now I want to install softwares from the precompiled packages. Is there any command like "make install" to install them so that I can delete them using "pkg_delete"? Is there a recommended directory to install the packages? I ask the latter question because I find after I decompress the packages using "tar", there are several subdirectories named "bin", "lib", "man", how can I treat these directories( my method is copy them to /usr/bin, /usr/lib and /usr/man, I don't know if it's right)? Thanks in advance! Song Lining
