[-- Attachment #1 --] Help. Am trying to learn FreeBSD. I installed FreeBSD 10.3 from FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64-uefi-dvd1.iso. Am reading the handbook and many of the instructions just don’t work. Example: 4.4.1. Says to run “/usr/sbin/pkg”. That returns: The package management tool is not yet installed on your system. Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: I type in “y”, press enter key and that returns: Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/quarterly, please wait... pkg: Error fetching http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/quarterly/Latest/pkg.txz: No address record A pre-built version of pkg could not be found for your system. Consider changing PACKAGESITE or installing it from ports: 'ports-mgmt/pkg’. I have no idea what PACKAGESITE is and running /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg: Permission denied and changing from my username to root returns: Permission denied If I try running make from /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg, it returns: ===> License BSD2CLAUSE accepted by the user => pkg-1.6.2.tar.xz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => /usr/ports/distfiles/ is not writable by you; cannot fetch. *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg What am I doing wrong? What did I miss in the handbook? Or is there something wrong with either the handbook and/or the DVD install I used? Thank you, Doug [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJX5ZHgAAoJEKC0arNxAXZUbMAH/jLCM210mnWcfOO9Qk4hn/yw /kFl0bRmu/AnJDe7daAi6aQC/V890Z86GsLWpaUTA3qX1w84P0wM5DshQTwGCVi+ RaVQVIVGxQLK7VE3kTpOE0S63K+SGsd00eimzKTEvfQr77Gn3CyXpNErlzh4PoPk sJLTpqkn7LvShbhfYHwEh7SKVy+JifvHhLqcC3bMD4TgiXUv/zxBTN3O73+eaxoD nVhSFjtMHxOpZlMXntXnW8p3ogRAJPqCUBbjMrun18cq5DkEMjC9bE93KsEizW+y LUg+3JFTj7gN1V6AjHCbIZJoUFw7BexTELGm2Uim978COrVUWO+flHBcNfYmYJ4= -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
