I have a 6.0 system that was installed with the minimum of optional packages. I want to install cvsup so that I can update my ports tree. Trying to use pkg_add to install cvsup, I get the following message: Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/Latest/wget.tbz: File unavailable Looking at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/ I see that there is no longer a directory for 6.0-release. What do I need to do to get an updated ports tree? Should I set PACKAGESITE so that pkg_add can work? And if so, what value should I give it? Or do I need to go in another direction? Thanks in advance. -- Thank you, Lewis Kapell Computer Operations Seton Home Study School
