I've already tried going via the ports an hour ago, which failed with lots of syntax errors. I do not want to bother with the port, and would like to install via a package. However, pkg_add -r XFree86-4 fails with "File not available" whilst attempting to fetch the package from some FreeBSD mirror. How do I tell pkg_add to try somewhere else?
