Well, I ran the pkg_add [somesubset]*.tgz in the directory with the packages, and according to PKG_ADD(1) they should have been picked up already (...If the packages are not found in the current working directory, pkg_add will search them in...). Maybe it worked for the first few, and then the packages list grew to still hit the max-200 limit ? I think that is what happened. Thanks for all the help so far people, highly appreciated :) regards, -- Hans Lambermont
