I also don't understand your command format > "cd wherever_it_is/bin ; . install.sh" Please don't worry about your "ignorance"! May be its *my* ignorance and I did not understand your question? I thought gated is part of the bin distribution and you wanted to continue installation of a partially installed distribution. By now I learned however that you wanted to add the *package* gated to your system. So you better forget about "sourcing in" for now. (Its a way a shell is executing a script without starting a new shell! Instead it reads the script and interprets the commands as if they came from the console) Now what you want to use is the pkg_add program. On the CD there should be a directory with the name packages . In it is a subdirectory with the name net or something similar. (I can't read my CD at the moment, if I try, my system freezes :-( ). There should be a file with the name gated???tar.gz. This is the only file you need. You enter pkg_add /cdrom/packages/net/gated???tar.gz and gated will be installed. If you cannot access your CD from within FreeBSD you have to copy the *tar.gz - file to a DOS-Partition (from within DOS) and then from that Partition to a FreeBSD-Partition (from within FreeBSD). You might have to use a different name for the file on the DOS-Partition, like gated.tgz. I hope that helps. Have fun Wolfgang.
