Hey there, I was told to install netscape by the port method, however, I dont have the directory distfiles in my /usr/ports directory. Also, when I attempt to add one of the packages in the back of the HandBook (Appendix D), it always says it cant find the specified name. The packages I am interested in are: netscape-communicator-4.04 nedit-5.0 xfmail-1.1 One hint is that when I mount the cdrom and actually look for the packages on the first CD-ROM, I cant find the ones I am looking for, or atleast the higher versions listed in Appendix D, and when I went for a post-install configuration through /stand/sysinstall, this is the error I got: The version of the disc in the cd-rom drive is not current and is probably earlier that version 2.1.5, even though I have 2.2.5. Should I be using the first or fourth cd? Thanks for any help. Everyone has been great so far helping me.
