So how do I tell pkg_add to fetch the first pkg from one site and the rest from the main sites? It is available in source but the system is void of pkg's at the moment and with the 1ghz processor and 512mb ram could take quite a while. And the funny part is it will work perfectly if I just place it in ports/multimedia. > Assuming the site structure is the same as the FreeBSD ftp structure, as it would be if the remote site is using Tinderbox, you can set the PACKAGESITE and PKG_PATH environment variables. If using csh: setenv PACKAGESITE http://site/All/ setenv PKG_PATH http://site/Latest/ If using sh/bash: export PACKAGESITE="http://site/All/" export PKG_PATH="http://site/Latest/" Regards, -- Glen Barber
