Until 2.2.2 & 2.2.5 I don't remember having problems using lynx to access the handbook and faqs file included in distribution. I'm using a little over a gig for FreeBSD, so space is not problem, and after installation I have a substantial /usr/ports file (/distrib is empty), and there is a lynx directory in www. Anyway, i now realize that I haven't a clue as to how to install a ports or packages file after installation. I've tried playing with /stand/sysinstall as well as copying various directoies into /usr/ports/distribution (sp?) and using make. No success with anything. Almost always there is documention somewhere on the distribution CD's for just about everything I have needed to do, but I just don't seem to find what I need this time. My request: what is the basic process for installing/uninstalling ports & packages, and where can I read about it in more depth on the distribution?
