Did I say you were stupid? You asked for help, and I offered it. The polite thing to do, if you have already attempted the help I offered, would be to simply say: "Thank you Dan, but I have already tried to do what you said, and for some reason decided not to include that fact in my original request for help. Thank you for taking time out of your day to attempt to help me." > > I'm just a Linux system's administrator for about 7/8 years, trying to > switch to FreeBSD, where everything is so equal, yet so different.

I find 105 things doing that exact same command: drk:drk:[9:06am]:~> find /usr/ports -name '*pear*' -print | wc -l 105 drk:drk:[9:06am]:~> > > Thanks for the tip of searching. No problem. P.S.
