Well, you might need to RTFM just a little bit if you get stuck. And trust me, it's worth it. Since you seem to be in a hurry, I'll assume you installed 6.0-RELEASE (you can check this with uname -a). Also, I'd keep a written log or an a text file on a separate machine of what you do and what worked because you can easily bork a machine if you are in too much of a hurry. So it helps to know how to recover quickly. Anyway, As root, cd to /usr/ports/packages/All - if it doesn't exist, then do mkdir -p /usr/ports/packages/All cd /usr/ports/packages/All Since you don't use X, use lynx or your favourite ftp client to browse this little lot. You may, of course, use a more convenient mirror site. The above contains hundreds of binary packages at the time of 6.0-RELEASE going out. Now, if you were prepared to RTFM I'd recommend using pkg_add -r but that would require you first playing with /etc/make.conf, and so on as sometimes remote fetching needs tweaking. Instead, I suggest you look over the FTP site above and download to /usr/ports/packages/All the packages you require. Then use pkg_add to install them. I'm not familiar with the precise packages mix you require, so you might have dependency problems. In which case, try man pkg_add or or this list. __________________________________________ Yahoo!
