Let me just get this straight: All the packages that were available for the time of my version's release are on the CD's, but not necessarily the tarballs required to build the ports? I tried to port lynx, and put all the even remotely lynx-looking tarballs into /usr/ports/distfiles/ , and then switched directory to /usr/ports/www/lynx/ and did 'make', but it still tried to fetch the tarball by ftp, and since my ppp-connection wasn't up, it failed. What have _I_ failed to understand? /Fredrik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
