The suitation is that I have a rather small hardisk and the only way I manage to use my modem is thur win9x. I did not download everything in the pacakages directory, but rather download them when I want to install the particular software. I found out that those dependends file have been update so frequently in release, which ends up I've to download all the dependends files(I've areadly an older version installed) each time I wanted to install a software. I'm a 100% newbies myself and hope others won't have to repeat my long route to FreeBSD. ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
