Hi, I went to ftp.freebsd.org/pub/distfiles directory. I saw a lot of files there but there is no README file to explain what those files for. Can you tell me what those files for? Also a lot of files end with .tar.gz. Can I use pkg_add command to extract them after I downloaded them (I know that I can use pkg_add command to extract .tgz file format)? On my system, I don't have /usr/ports/distfiles (I did average user installation through floppy disks). I don't know whether /usr/ports/distfiles is a file or directory. If it is a directory, what are the files under that directory or if it is a file, can you send it to me through internet mail or tell me where I can download it on Internet? Thanks in advance.
