Press Ctrl-C, interrupting the compilation if i am not mistaken, you'll need perl and the distfile. that's it. i believe that you can install perl via your freebsd install disk (or is it even part of the base system?) > 3.

Download missing file from > ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/ fwiw, ltmdm-1.4.tgz weighs in at a trivial 487K. if you have one, a floppy is definitely the way to go here. ...and keep it handy for future installs. you can always upgrade to the latest version after you're connected. > 6.
