Having trouble installing ports..
I'm tring to install emacs, I did a whereis command to find the directory,
cd to it (/usr/ports/editors/emacs) ls the dir found the files
Makefile README.html files patches pkg
these are the skeleton file right?
then as the complete FreeBSD book states
entered a make command at the prompt
then got this message
emacs-19.34btar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system
then it tried to ftp it from a site (I'm not connected yet so that didn't
work)
there's no atempt to get it from my cdrom (it is mounted cd /cdrom)..
What am I doing Wrong???
Same thing happens to every port i try to install....
