I can not because /var is filling up. After a few attemps I tried: pkg_add -p /usr/tmp -t /usr/tmp/instmp.XXXXXX -r kde I can still watch /var/tmp fill up. I finally seemed to make things work by setting PKG_TMPDIR. I guess I do not understand the purpose of the -p and -t operands. Any pointers appreciated, I am quite lost on this. _____ Douglas Denault doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
