All the 4-stable packages on the ftp sites should have been replaced by the .tgz versions for RC2 now. I guess the only .tbz packages you're going to find will be ones for 5-CURRENT, and they're no good to you. However, you could try downloading the .tgz packages from the ftp sites, and recompressing them: fetch fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/foo.tgz gzcat foo.tgz | bzip2 -c > foo.tbz pkg_add foo.tbz Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
