I suggest you to not install ports on your computer because they go out of time really fast... Well, its so much easy to browse them by ftp or by lynx. To get a specific port by ftp, log on ftp.cdrom.com $ ftp ftp.cdrom.com > user=ftp > password=anything@anything > cd pub/FreeBSD/ports/ > ls net > cd net > ls ircII >get ircII.tar notes: The file "ircII.tar" doesnt really exist ircII was a directory but when I say "get ircII.tar", I get ALL the directory $ pwd /usr/home/malartre $ ls ircII.tar $ tar -xvf ircII.tar $ ls ircII ircII.tar $ cd ircII $ make $ make install $ make clean $ cd .. $ rm -r ircII $ mv ircII.tar /usr/ports/ (to archive them) Easy no? ;-) Malartre -- -------------------------------------- malartre@aei.ca ICQ #4224434 www.aei.ca/~malartre/ FreeBSD-2.2.6 -------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
