Check the man page for pkg_add, but there's an environement variable you set for the place to look. I forget what the default is, but just run it with the defaults and if it works, great--somebody fixed something since Saturday. If it fails, then set the environemnt variable to the same as the default path only change the "/Latest" at the end to "/All", and it will install (at least of Saturday) XFree86-4.2.0_1,1. -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . . bts@babbleon.org (personal) http://www.babbleon.org http://www.eff.org http://www.programming-freedom.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
