The ports are nothing more than a collection of makefiles and patches that install the chosen package. That ye installed the ports doesn't mean that ye have them installed as such to use them. cd /usr/ports and from there on search for what ye need either by browsing the directories or 'make search key="packagename"' hope this helps --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl Junior Network/Security Specialist *BSD & picoBSD: The Power to Serve...
