If you have already downloaded it the you do not need the -r. The reason you are getting the unable to fetch is probably that you are asking for a specific version which is not available. To download and install the latest version of cvsup just do pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui See the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/packages-using.html Rob
