Compiling ports from CDROM Reply-To: junkmale@xtra.co.nz X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12a) Message-Id: <19990829063003.UMTJ3442178.mta1-rme@wocker> Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been reading http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports-getting.html and trying to understand how I can install a port using my CD-ROM. At one point, the handbook contains: Then, just cd to the appropriate subdirectory under /cdrom/ports and type make install as usual. I've just tried all four 3.2-RELEASE CDs and I can't find any ports structure under /cdrom/ports which is similar to /usr/ports. Where should I be looking? -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsdiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm unix @ home - http://www.unixathome.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
