My latest problem is with ports. For the time being I want to install 'colorls', but i've tried to install another thing or two and it didn't work either. I'm in /usr/ports/misc/colorls, and /cdrom is mounted. Problem #1 is that the Makfile/other-information fo Colorls list the file its looking for as ls2.2.7.tar.gz, where as /cdrom/packages/misc/ has a colorls2.2.7.tgz. Everything on the cdrom is in .tgz, and perhaps that is the issue with why none of my ports are working? I tried to change the references to 'colorls' and 'tar.gz' into 'tgz' and it didn't work -- No such directory in /usr/ports/misc/colorls/work/ls/ls.1 I have absolutely no idea whats going on now -- except that work/ contains only a 'man' and a 'bin' directory and some other files all in caps. --S To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
