And you are free to use pkg_add and pkg_delete. The ports tree is just that, app that are NOT in binary format. These are apps you build and update yourself. FreeBSD isn't designed like Linux. It's meant to be the Unix version of Windows. If you want that type of format, then reconsider staying with whatever distro of Linux you had. No offense of course, you just need to realize that FreeBSD (or any ofter BSD) isnt made to look like, feel like, smell like, taste like, act like ANY Linux distro. -- Best regards, Chris History doesn't repeat itself -- historians merely repeat each other.
