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.

Neill RR4
