If you type this.

cd /usr/ports
ls

Do you see a list of category names?

If yes, type:

cd games/xmines
make
make install
make clean

and some time later you have a working minesweeper game on your computer.

You can do the same for

cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
make
make install
make clean

To deinstall do
cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
make deinstall

Ronald.

PS: The great stuff of this is, that dependencies are automaticly resolved.
