[-- Attachment #1 --] I just tried to install a shell but can't install it. After reading the documentation I have 2 questions. From default install 4.5 I was asked to install 100 megs worth of ports. I did this. when I go to the /user/ports/ I see a bunch of files. Are these the files I compile to install the software? Or do I have to be connected to the internet to ftp the files because it keeps on getting the error message, "Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/" Second question, Is a script installed by default?
