Ok this is a really "newbie" question, so I hope you don't all chastise me for asking this. I've *just* started working with FreeBSD, and i'm trying to install some of the packages included on the CD using pkg_add, but whenever I use this i can't find an exacutable to run what i just installed. I've tried going over to the ports directory for the appropriate directory for the package i'm trying to install (ex. going over to /usr/ports/misc/mc for the package mc-4.1.27.tgz) and runing the make program, but it just gives me an error that the package isn't in /usr/ports/distfiles. When i moved the package from the CD into this directory and ran the same program (make) it tells me their is a checksum error with the file. I know this is probably a really stupid question, but any help would be appreciated! -MC ___ <@,@> Mark A.
