How are you trying to "install" the port - what commands are you running to install the port ? | when I try to directly install from the cd by going to /cdrom with the CD in | the drive, there is nothing there | ls = zilch. Things to look out for: 1. Have you mounted the cd 'mount /cdrom' 2. Check your /etc/fstab to see where the cd is going to be mounted (hint: might be /mnt/cdrom or some such). 3. Is your cd rom drive working :) Hope this helps. -- salvo@reaper.org | http://salvo.reaper.org | ICQ #8084066 The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, is that none of it has tried to contact us. -- Calvin & Hobbes To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
