When you report a problem, please explain in detail what you are trying to do in general, what you are doing in detail, and the symptoms of your problem (eg, error messages, verbatim or at least summarized). A bit about your environment might help too. So we don't have to guess or provide multiple answers for you to pick from. I don't even have a "pkg_install", so I can't help with that. If you have the set of packages on your hard disk or cdrom use something like this: mount /cdrom ls -l /cdrom/packages/All/*cvsup* pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/cvsup-16.1f.tgz IF (and, of course, only if) your Internet connection is OK and the remote package server is running, I would guess from the examples in the handbook, that your "pkg_add -r cvsup" should work. But you might have to find a different server and use something like this (from the pkg_add manual): PACKAGEROOT=ftp://ftp3.FreeBSD.org pkg_add -r cvsup or you might have to locate the package file using ftp or web browers and then use something like this: cvsup ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/All/cvsup-16.1f.tgz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
