pkg_add will obtain and install dependencies if they are present. Consider trying this: 1. ftp to ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/packages/All and obtain a listing of package names. 2. execute 'pkg_add <ftp address of package>' (make sure you include the full package name in the address) Best of luck, Andrew Gould --- BSD Blood <bsdblood@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello. > My first priority for installing software is by > using packages and then > the ports collection.
