What should I do? setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/All/ pkg_add -r somepackagename-9.99.9.tbz (NB. the trailing slash / on that URL is important. Don't leave it out.) There are equivalents to these settings in pkgtools.conf Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/e+V0dtESqEQa7a0RAlTMAKCVqCm5btp1za+iqeJWMM9Xnhz9mwCgjgW1 bDD4iWOqdP0ijY9fQapr8JA= =n3BV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
