Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, it seems that I did something truly bizarre. As I was adding packages, it came to my attention that I could not find them. That was annoying but not a crisis. As I browsed down the directory tree to /usr/local/bin I was rather surprised to discover that their was not such directory. Some how the /usr/local/bin is a file and not a directory. LOL. How the devil did that happen? I'll do a reload tomorrow but am very curious? -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 110592 Mar 4 09:34 bin # pwd /usr/local --- Scott Morris GTE Telecommunication Services smorris@tsi.gte.com *** My opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. ***
