[-- Attachment #1 --] I have the 4.5 cd with all the packages(CD 3). I read a previous e-mail saying ports were forgotten in version 4.5? I follow the instructions, but I am confused with "Mount it on /cdrom". I Man Mount and look up what it means and getting the cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Device busy after I mounted so I assumed I am doing it right. But how do I check this? When I enter the mount command do I have to be in a specific directory? It is still trying to FTP. I then went to the CD and checked if I could now see the structure and I could. I then preceded and went to the port and did a pkg_add <port>. The game tank appeared. But I still would like to know what I am doing wrong? http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports-using.html [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the 4.5 cd with all the packages(CD 3).
