Hello , What is the issue with Freebsd currently? I am trying to move from Open to Free and i have to say the experience to date is undesirable.....to say the least. I have tried several different releases this week and everyone has had issues but the most frustrating is the packages. The packages are not there, pkg_add wont work with the format when they are there ex. .tbz, packages not installing properly ie. not installing their deps and broken links and pipes and i mean the latter with regards to the .tgz format which is suppose to work. They did not have any packages for the release i am currently using ...trying to use (4.7rc2) so i was told to use the 4-stable packages. Today i took a peek @ the 4-stable and they appear to be missing just a directory link which gives ./dir not there errors when trying to access and.... they are once again in the damn .tgz format which does not work. This is very frustrating and time consuming. I truly hope that the project is not normally this sloppy and undocumented, as i continue to look forward to my initial goal. -- Best regards, SweeTLeaF mailto:SweeTLeaF@myrealbox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
