Hi! I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm in trouble with installing software using the ports collection. After typing "make install" everything seems to be okay, but in most cases I get a message like this after a few minutes: fetch time out It seemed to me that the mirror servers are not uptodate or that some filenames have changed in the meantime, because fetching data from ftp-servers worked a few times. But in nearly all cases I had to copy the files manually in /usr/ports/distfiles as "make install" finally suggested. So I installed a new ports-collection with sysinstall over ftp but things haven't changed. I'm a little confused, because fetching data from FreeSD ftp-servers doesn't work too (remember that some fetches were successful!). Please help me, Florian ------------------------------------------------------ Florian Hengstberger e0025265@student.tuwien.ac.at http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0025265 ------------------------------------------------------
