Dear Sirs,

I  tried to install gnome 2.6 on a fresh Freebsd 5.2.1 installation with 
no windowmanager installed using the "pkg_add  -r gnome2" -command as it 
comes in your instructions, but what I got was gnome 2.4 and not gnome 
2.6 as I expected. I could even see it during the download and 
installation process, as only packages with a "2.4"-number were displayed.
I don't want to do an 2.4 to 2.6 upgrade using the upgrade script, as it 
takes much to long, so I'd rather would like to do an installation using 
packages.

I also ask myself  if it was possible for you to offer an ISO-Image file 
for downloading and burning on CD containing al the necessary packages 
an dependencies for installing the gnome 2.6 desktop without having an 
internet connection established.

I would appreciate your help a lot, but please consider that I'm still a 
newbie to freebsd.

Many thanks,

Werner Lehmann
