	# cp BitchX-1.0c19-FreeBSD4.tar.gz /usr/port/distfiles
	# cd /usr/ports/irc/bitchx
	# make install

If you want df(1) and other commands to display disk sizes in
kilobytes instead of 512-byte blocks, set BLOCKSIZE in your
environment to 'K'.  You can also use 'M' for Megabytes or 'G' for
Gigabytes.  If you want df(1) to automatically select the best size
then use 'df -h'.
